Local address book Win Live Mail has suddenly lost 99% of contacts

In recent weeks, 99% of my contacts from address book stored locally gone--all before a certain recent date, I think, but I was unable to discover a way to see when a contact has been added to the address book or through what process in-house. From somewhere around 500 contacts (Riddle), I was left with 15, which came very recently. This happened to anyone before? Is the likely cause to be something I did accidentally which can be reversed, or are all that data of address book really parties for good?

All I get is a barred spiral circle no matter what I fly over.

Oh dear, too. I don't know that it has been possible. Well, for not to worry - just use the import button to import the VCF files. You can select several ones to import at a time. Sorry about that.

  • Windows Live Mail has suddenly stopped working

    My Windows Live Mail has suddenly stopped working.  I get the error message below.  I contacted Time Warner - talked to 3 different technicians, each gave different instructions, of which none has solved the problem.  I contacted Microsoft and they said that they do not support Windows Live Mail.   I am able to access my e-mail through Time Warner Webmail, but I want to get Live Mail works again.  Can anyone help?

    Can't send or receive messages on behalf of Wi.rr (jxxxxx). Windows Live Mail could not open a session secure e-mail server using password authentication. Contact your e-mail provider and verify that it supports secure password authentication. To change the connection setting, in the folder list, right-click on the account name, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu. In the Properties dialog box, click on the servers tab, and then under incoming mail server, select a logon option.

    Server error: 0x800CCC90

    I don't think it's something that 'suddenly' happened. Does not support the server you connect to SPA, so if you have this option, you will be not be been able to connect to this server. You may have changed the setting to try to solve another problem?

    Right-click on the account name in the folders pane, and then select Properties. On the servers tab, select connect with authentication in clear text. Then try send/receive for this account. If you see an error message, please copy and paste into your answer.

  • Win Live Mail product part black screen

    Three major problems, namely:

    (1) sometimes when you try to send an email, the section of the window where the e-mail addresses are inserted forward in line becomes completely black as a band on the screen. No response from the black box. Then WLM must be closed and restarted to correct the problem. After you close the blackened 'before' window, WLM main window contains also several blackened, horizontal and vertical bands.

    It's a pain in the axis.

    (2) when you attempt to add multiple attachments (each< 100="" kb),="" the="" program="" freezes.="" only="" the="" mouse="" pointer="" will="" move.="" nothing="" else="" moves.="" cannot ="" start="" task="" manager.="" the="" hd ="" indicator="" does="" not="" light="" up,="" presumably="" there="" is="" no="" hd="" activity="" at="" this="" time. clicking="" on a="" file="" in="" the "open"="" window="" to="" select="" the="" first="" attachment causes="" the="" freeze="" in="" the="" first="" instance. the="" screen="" greys="" out="" and="" no="" further="" selections="" can="" be="" made="" until="" the wlm="" sorts="" itself="" out="" which="" can="" take="" up="" to="" 2 or="" 3="" minutes.="" subsequent="" selections="" can="" take="" a="" similar="" amount="" of="" time.="" so="" if="" i="" want="" to="" select="" 10="" plot="" files="" to="" send="" to="" a="" printer,="" the="" process="" may="" take="" 20="">

    This problem is a huge pain the axle that makes my job completely ineffective due to the loss of time involved in more extreme frustration in trying to meet a deadline where the process of attachment of fixing say 10 files in path to an e-mail would have been done in a few seconds with Outlook Express in Win XP.

    (3) when you click on a specific email in any folder for deletion purposes, the file must be click twice before the removal can be performed. It is not a major problem but has the quality of the nuisance.

    If MS could set the extremely slow WML, so it would be extra good. Maybe the difference is that Outlook Express does everything on the computer and avoid the 'cloud' entiely?

    Thanks in advance for any comments on the subject.

  • Why not work local address book autocomplete in the latest versions of Thunderbird?

    Hello
    I noticed that in Thunderbird 38 (currently using 38.0.1) the AutoComplete feature in the from: field no longer works. My preferences in "composition-> address" is located to local address book autocomplete. In the 38 versions this seemed to work perfectly. I could type in part of a name or address and I would receive a box drop-down list of possibilities. However, this no longer works. Is there something I need to do to reactivate this function? I just installed the latest version (38.0.1) in the hope that this should be corrected, but it wasn't. Is there something I can do?

    Thanking you in advance,
    Brad

    My apologies if I missed, but it is a step take almost.
    Restart Thunderbird with disabled modules (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click "restart with disabled modules. If Thunderbird works as usual, there is an add-on or theme interfere with normal operations. You will need to reactivate the modules one at a time until you locate the offender.

  • Windows Live mail - error message: Windows Live Mail has stopped working, a program has caused the blocking of the program works properly...

    At the opening of Windows Live Mail, I get an error message "Windows Live Mail has stopped working" a second error message then cuts in "a problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is not available"Unfortunately Windows does not close the program after waiting for an hour. I managed to twice using the system restore, but that failed even now to solve the problem. I am now resorting to Webmail using the messaging system.
