• Mailings moved to end of folder Windows Mail personal up to corrupt the other items in this folder.

  I get a number of emails from members of the family all over the world.

  When I save items to a specific e-mail folder in Windows Mail, the email registered is replaced by the text of another email in this folder!
  I have tried to create a new folder and save the items but it still happens. Remittances that corrupt are text only and appear to be from a single source. This does not occur in other folders

  What could cause this do?

  A contributor send long e-mails without feedback of any trolley (habit). An email from long chain could damage the others?

  Thank you

• Windows Mail-> Thunderbird. Online help does not program. How to import?

  I'm trying to take the Thunderbird (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/switching-thunderbird#w_switching-from-windows-mail-or-windows-live-mail-to-thunderbird) online for converting Windows Mail to Thunderbird (no Live Mail). I'm at the stage of import. The instructions say:

  "In Thunderbird, go to tools | ImportExport | Import all messages from a directory. Also to its subdirectories. »

  Under Tools, there is import, but no footage. When the import option is selected, it does not allow a directory location, only what to import (Eveything, Mail, Contacts, etc.). When choose "Import all" and pressing 'Next' nothing is on the list to import. The button 'Next' does nothing and the Cancel button cancels the entire import.

  Can you explain (or point to an article accurate and up-to-date on) how to import all messages (including local mailboxes and the structures of files kept intact).

  Thank you.

  In the first paragraph of the section "Import Windows Mail Messages", it says you need to download and install the ImportExportTools add-on - we. Once installed, the relevant menu options will appear in TB.

• Windows Mail can receive but not send up to exit application

  Hi and thanks for taking the time to read what I am in need of your help.

  I have a Toshiba P200, Vista Home Premium, Tiscali as my ISP, Norton Internet Security for AV and firewall and access my broadband via Ethernet to a Belkin ADSL router (and occasionally a Siemens router) and I am experiencing some strange events with Windows Mail.

  In short I can receive mail without any problems, but when I send the mail, remaining in the Outbox despite the option send immediately being checked, or by pressing the send/receive button. When I go out Windows Mail mail is sent immediately and is when I restart Windows Mail in the sent messages folder.

  So why I think there is a problem with the laptop. Well, I'm lucky to have a friend who has a non-Toshiba laptop, where all of the above can be replicated. Guess what, Windows Mail sends the message exactly as it should (on my account and on my network, through my router and the ISP, Tiscali etc.), so I conclude that the only difference is that my laptop is a P200.

  I called Tiscali, which confirmed that all my mail settings were OK, POP, SMTP etc, which I expect (because they work on the laptop from my friend), and they advised to contact Microsoft, I did, and since the P200 has pre-installed Vista they say that I need to contact Toshiba, and here I am.
  My P200 has been restored to factory settings, and I tried to get this working without Norton IS and no firewall (Vista and router) but no luck.

  Any ideas would be very appreciated and if I find through other means, I'll post back with the result. If the answer is already out there, please apologize for being too stupid to locate and beg your patience.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  It is typical for support persons. All of them are trying to refer clients and through them. In my opinion Microsoft s reaction is strange to me. They designed the operating system and they should be responsible for the feature.

  I have the Satellite A200 and Satellite P200D and I use Windows Mail on two of them successfully. My laptop is connected to the WIFI router and router directly to the phone line. To be honest, I have configured Windows Mail as you and all of the work are made in a few minutes.

  It is not easy to tell where the problem may be, but I think that there is a problem with some settings of your laptop. Some of them block it somehow. To compare your, with friends laptop is also not the best because it can have completely different OS settings (antivir application, the settings of the firewall).

  Try turning off all the features that can block Windows hotmail to see if there is some difference.

• question about the inability to meet the Windows Mail links

  I use Windows Vista, Microsoft 7.  A year ago I moved to a new location and subscribed to a new ISP.  I'm not changing my email provider preferred to Windows Live Hotmail and kept the same e-mail address.  However, I was never able to answer e-mail links, I get through links web page by e-mail, or in a specific instance of frustrating, their responses to a Yahoo Group that I belong to.  The e-mail program that opens isn't just Windows Mail, Hotmail.  When I click on the link provided I always get a message similar to the following: "task: send msg POP3 Local Area Network Failed." Details: Secure (SSL): no, Socket Error number 11001 error 0x800cc0D the host 'SMTP' could not be found. Please check that you have entered the server name correctly. Topic: test new downloaded OpenOffice org doc. POP3 ACCT: Server SMTP Protocol SMTP Port 25 ".  This has something to do with the fact that last February my hard drive has been damaged and I lost and do not re-install the Microsoft 2007 family and Student Edition and use Open Office.Org rather to my documents?  Is there a solution?

  Thank you.

  is there a solution to my original problem?

  It's hard to say. It depends on if this part of your description of symptoms is bad or just does not work properly:

  The e-mail program that opens isn't just Windows Mail, Hotmail.

  There is no support for what you do with a Hotmail account (unless just using Windows Live Hotmail as a mail client), so if you went on the forum WLSC that you have been referred to them could help you find a workaround.

  I don't know if WinMail still supports a connection to Hotmail very well. To do this, she will have to support the newer DeltaSync protoocol not the old WebDAV protocol. Outlook or WLMail would have better choices as default email for this client. Otherwise, you will need WinMail to connect to Hotmail as a POP3 account, and almost certainly not be able to do it using host names that you have tried. Yet once, find you better information and support for this on the WLSC. ; }

  Otherwise you can always check for addressability and connectivity using this SMTP host name and port number. It's unusual, but not necessarily incorrect according to the DNS of your ISP. You can use telnet in a cmd window to perform such a check:

  Telnet smtp 25

  and see if you get a prompt to enter a SMTP request. If you don't enter QUIT

• Cannot remove e-mail messages in Windows Mail

  I was remove tons of old e-mail when my PC froze and I had to re - start. Now, all the emails that I had highlighted when everything locked have a blue message 'I' on the copy of body with the message: Message canoe is located. Contents of this message cannot be found. Then a 'white -I- in-a-blue-circle' error message opos upwards: an unknown error has occurred.

  You have probably a mismatch between what the database thinks is in terms of messages and what is really there.  Try to compact and repair the database with my utility Windows Mail (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/) and see if that solves the problem.  Beware also of the antivirus software like that can cause similar problems.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 see also www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm for background on how WinMail stores its messages.

• Importer e-mail and addresses from Windows Mail in windows.old to Outlook 2007 in the new Windows 7

  Installed Windows 7 on a laptop last night.
  Old system: Vista & Windows Mail
  New system: Windows 7 Ultimate (64) & Outlook 2007

  Prior to installation, we have saved copies of records of e-mail and address books for the two users on a disk partition.  These same files are also still available in windows.old.

  Import in Outlook 2007 feature, I cannot select a directory where the old files/email address. He just made a kind of research and can't find anything.
  I wish that prospects to find them and convert a PST file but can't seem to make it work. I tied each combination in the functionality of Outlook 'import' and even tried to drag the old emails in the outlook Inbox (just create a new email with the .eml attachment file)

  What should I install Windows mail, that he could recognize the old addresses / and then inport to Outlook?  Maybe then Outlook will look for them in their actual location?

  A little frustrated...

  How did your question related to Windows Update, Al?

  You cannot import data from Windows Mail directly in Outlook. See...

  How TO migrate [Windows mail] Outlook (when you have only the message store files)
     http://www.HOWTO-Outlook.com/HOWTO/migratefromoewlm.htm#FILES_ONLY

  In your case, you must first download/install Windows LIVE Mail and then import data from Windows Mail in this e-mail client. After that, you can EXPORT data from Windows LIVE Mail to Outlook (compared to import the data into Outlook).

  Yes, this is all very confusing. Adding to the confusion:

  1. you must set Windows LIVE Mail as your default for mail in CUSTOM (<>) item Set Program Access and computer by default in Win7 before any function send to or MailTo will become available.

  2. you will find general support for all e-mail Win7 Clients in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7network/threads

  3. you will find support for Windows Live Mail in this public newsgroup:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?DG=Microsoft.public.Windows.live.mail.desktop

  4. you will find support for Outlook in these forums as well as in this public newsgroup:

  Good luck, my friend!

• Slider Windows Mail

  Recent updates have caused my cursor behave strangely - a form of large ring around it that shrinks and then in the location of the cursor. then the reforms concerning every 5 sec (narrowing bullseye).  This happens whenever Windows Mail is open, any other program is running. I don't remember exactly when it expanded, but it's recent.
  Running Vista Home Premium, 32-bit, SP2, IE 8, with more updates all the installed.
  Hardware - Dell Inspiron E1505, 2gig

  Dear Francis,
   
  My grandmother told me that the simplest solutions are often the best.

  Before starting the removal of updates to identify the problem, I first checked all my settings, including the mouse (I don't like not to touch keys).
  Guess what?  Turn off the coast of "locate the cursor" setting stopped the problem. Some thing in one of the downloads changed this order somehow so she operated continuously. without overlay 'control '.

  FYI, standard settings, Aero theme

  Thanks for your effort - said you makes you think before making some drastic as deleting something when I didn't know what it was for.  I'm too old to know a lot about the technical side or on the programming.
