My windows Live Mail has frozen. Lost contacts, does not work online, can not open messages

While away from home, I used my mobile to get online and download emails. As soon as I saw them, I clicked on 'work offline' in order to read and write the answer without using the 3 G for too long.  Since then, I have not been able to work online so I can't send or receive emails or open the 'old'. Also, my contacts have disappeared.
I tried "System Restore" and repair Windows Live essential.  Neither made any difference.
Can anyone help, please!  It is a disaster.
Thanks, Ros

Dear RosMarsden

Even if you have lost any info at the end of Windows Live Mail client on your laptop desktop computer, it can not be lost completely, as the good sign is have you worked offline, data so never synchronized with the real Active Server to web-based Microsoft account. Try as a solution to connect to http://www.outlook.com/ and see if you can see all of your emails and contacts. If you can view online repair and then at the end of your computer is easy, let us know if you can reach your contacts online via the Web page and NOT Windows based on the client software.

  • Windows live mail send error "the server does not support an SSL connection. Server error 250.

    Original title: Windows live mail error send

    Cannot send mail to Windows Live Mail.  Error message... The server does not support an SSL connection. Server error 250. Server - * address email is removed from the privacy *. Windows Live Mail error ID - 0x800CCC7D. SMTP Protocol.  Port 25.

    It's better, thank you. This message is not from the BT Server; It comes from your Avast antivirus which is intercepting your mail. You would be well advised to turn off the Avast Mail shield; It does not add any additional security if you don't by attention elsewhere, and can cause problems.

    I see that it is the record of mail in bulk that because of the problems in this case. Connect to the Web e-mail account and clear the items junk and deleted records.

    BT is recommended to use SSL, but your original question indicated that SSL was not taken in charge for SMTP on port 25. I think we'd better go on all your settings. Recommendations of BT are on this page: BT email: what are the settings for outgoing and incoming mail servers?, but they only work if you disable Avast scanning mail.

    Right-click on the account name in the folders pane, and then select Properties.

    • Under the servers tab, make sure that my server requires authentication is selected.
      Select connect with authentication in clear text.
    • On the Advanced tab, select this server requires a secure connection (SSL) for both servers.
      Make sure that the incoming (IMAP) port is 993 and port for outgoing (SMTP) is 465.

    When you've made all these changes, close Windows Live mail and wait five minutes for the program do its cleaning and save the modified settings. Then, restart the computer and make sure that the Mail of Avast shield is always off.

    Launch Windows Live Mail, then dial a new test message and send it to yourself. Post a new message in your response.

  • 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.

    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?

  • Windows Live Mail - Unable to delete contacts

    WLM2011, WIN7Pro. Icon 'Contacts' to L.L. (Ctrl-3) returns a blank page. All other L.L. icons work. I do not sign to WLM popup on the launch window. Names in new Message 'To' field is the drop-down window with correct addresses, selection highlights name. Normally send and receive messages. , I can't remove it from the list of contacts. Where is the list of contacts? How can I remove contacts?

    Thanks, Tushar:

    I followed the link you suggested, found

    Is it painful?

    Windows Live Mail REALLY ask you to use Hotmail and done everything in his power to help ensure that, even at the expense of 'hide' your old contacts.

    Follow these steps to recover your contacts:

    (1) in the upper left corner click on the arrow down just above the "Email" icon to open a hidden menu.

    (2) select Options.

    (3) select Mail.

    4) go to the Connections tab.

    (5) click on "Stop signing in.»

    It will be "UnHook" your client Windows Live Mail and like magic your old contacts will reappear.

    In my opinion, it's an EPIC FAIL the part of Windows Live Mail ability to manage contacts.

    and completely solved my problem, as if by magic.

    Thank you.

  • Windows Live mail tells me I have an invalid password when trying to open the e-mail message in the client.

    I can sign into my e-mail account of Bellsouth/yahoo online through my browser, but Windows Live mail tells me I have an invalid password when trying to open the email in the WLM client.  I have rebuilt Windows Essentials, I made sure that the password is shorter than 16 characters.

    Windows Live Mail has worked until I suspected my e-mail account had been hacked, and I changed my password. Twice (on the 3 dozen attempts) WLM has requested a password, I entered into it, and it downloaded my email on the server, and then gave me an error saying that it could not complete the task and would not send/receive once again - it just keeps asking for the password.
    What Miss me?
