My Windows Live Mail is sorted in alphabetical order by family name, but now, when I add a new contact, it is positioned at the top of the list instead being placed in the right place alphabetical.

My direct mail is sorted in alphabetical order by family name, but now, when I add a new contact, it is positioned at the top of the list instead being placed in the right place alphabetical.  How to load the list of contacts to organize all contacts, including contacts, in alphabetical order by family name?

E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

My direct mail is sorted in alphabetical order by family name,

It is not clear what you mean by this statement.

  • There is an option in the contacts window in kind (names) of > name -is that what you mean?
  • Or that, when you open / switch to the contacts window, you see a list sorted by last name?
  • Or that when you click on to... or start typing in the to... box in a message composition window, you see a list ('contact selector') sorted by family name?

Only in contact with an e-mail address will appear in the "Chooser". The list includes names in alphabetical order. For contacts with a first name and a registered name , the list will be sorted based on the preference granted to sort by in the Contacts window. Contacts with multiple email addresses will appear once for each address with the address in brackets after the name.

Name is a special value built by WLMail contact data fields. It will consist of the first match found during the analysis of the data fields in the following order:

  1. Nickname
  2. First name + last name (in the order specified to sort by in the Contacts window)
  3. First name or last name
  4. Company
  5. E-mail address
As you start typing in of... box, WLMail will present a list of matching entries in your contacts list. You can start typing username, first name, first name, company, e-mail address to a contact or any significant word in the Notes field for this contact. So, if you type bil, for example, the list that appears will include
  • any person whose nickname starts with Bil, e.g. Billyboy
  • any person whose first name begins with Bil, e.g. of Bilbo Baggins
  • anyone whose first name begins with Bil, for example Jim Bilko
  • everyone whose company name starts with Bil, e.g. Billingsgate Market
  • everyone with an address of e-mail from bil bil or just after a period or the ' @' symbol, for example "the bilbo at hotmail dot com" or "jim to billingsgate dot com" or "jim.bilko at hotmail dot com.
  • all categories whose name contains a word starting with bil

If this does not solve your problem, please post your question in the forum dedicated to contacts in Windows Live Mail.

  • Windows live mail 2011-sorting of mail

    My OS is windows vista 32-bit sp2.  I have windows live mail 2011. This has recently been updated to 2009 when I installed a windows update that includes updates of windows live essentials.  I don't know if this problem appeared at this time or not as I just noticed. Problem is that when I check my email list and I want to sort on the column, it will not be. There he performs a sort on the column of the object. The "arrow" appears in the column to watch either ascending or descending, and messages are not sorted by the column's.  I tried to sort on the column of the object to see if it would then sort by the column to, but he did not. I tried to close the output of WLM and opening it again, which was not resolved. I went to the display option in the toolbar access and selected for the type by option but that is also not sort by To.  Ugh.  It's complicated!

  • Windows Live Mail always tells me I'm out of line, but I'm not.

    I continue to receive a pop-up window asking me if I would go online now, even if I'M online.  When I click on 'YES' (I want to go to the line), I just get the same pop window.  I can't use my Windows Live mailbox to send or receive e-mails.

    I tried the suggested Control Panel / uninstall a program / right click on Windows Live Essentials / select uninstall-change / clicked on repair all Windows Live programs.  End of "repair", he stated that all Windows Live programs had been repaired.  HOWEVER, the same problem exists when I try to open my Inbox mailbox.

    Open Internet Explorer, and then press Alt + F to open the file menu. If work offline is selected, deselect it. If it is not selected, select it, wait a few moments and then deselect. Now check if Windows Live Mail is still offline. If this is the case, repeat the cycle to select/deselect in IE until WLMail Gets the message.

    What version of Internet Explorer is installed? In Internet Explorer, press Alt - H has to do.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Windows Live Mail contacts

    I have my contacts from Windows Live Mail on my BB and they always synchoronized automatically until now, when they seem to have stopped.  I could never understand how or when they synchronized, because sometimes he tookd days, and then all of a sudden this happened.  Can someone shed light on this situation and tell me how to get my BB to refresh and update my contacts from Windows Live Mail?

    Problem solved.  I don't know why my contacts stopped syncing, but I uninstalled my hotmail account and then reinstalled and now the synchronization works as it should.  As a matter of interest, the checkbox for synchronize completely disappeared during the time, I was unable to synchronize.  He is now back and verification.

  • When I open a new tab, it goes straight to the Bing, rather than the white page.

    I recently downloaded a program called PDFlite to view the PDF files. He seems to have changed some settings on my Firefox, I does not allow to do so. I am today and there was a Bing toolbar, which I disabled it without problem. But now when I open a new tab, it goes directly into the Bing search engine, rather than the blank page where it used to go. This turn off the coast. I hate Bing. I checked my addons and there is no new addons added by the program. I can't understand what is happening. Help, please!

    Hi Paulettelukan,

    What is the email client do you use? If Microsoft Outlook-> open Outlook-> tools-> Options-> Mail Setup-> Datafile-> you will get the location of your pst file. Close outlook and browse to the location of my computer and copy the PST on USB.

    If using Outlook Express-> open Outlook Express-> tools-> Options-> maintenance-> store folder-> copy the path-> open my computer-> paste-> you should see all the dbx files-> close Outlook Express-> copy all the DBX files in your USB key.

    I hope this helps.

    Clear the SSL option.

  • Error with Windows Live Mail Server-4102

    My windows Live mail continues to give me a server error - 4102.  My outgoing mail works fine, but my incoming does not come more.

    Help needed and appreciated if all next.  Thank you.  Margaret.

    Original title: Server Error-4102

    After three days of 'try' to fix myself, I finally called the Smart computer Tech, like taking his monthly magazine and their technical service VERY GOOD.

    The only thing I have not done, but it has been reviewed, had to go to

    My Control Panel and remove Windows Live Mail, to make it appear as once again.  But the com SM technology. at - it a much easier way.  He went to Windows Live Mail, tools / properties, then deleted my account and added a new one.

    It's just to know the right way to take these steps. For me I went to help and Support & typed in "How to add or remove a Windows Live Mail account", and then click.  This will put you through to Windows Live Mail you read on the axes. (I found that I was unable to get to this SITE via my work Windows Live Mail icon on my desktop.) But the consultation through help and support in the type Blue and double clicking it came, giving me the Tools menu, click on it to get accounts, then proceed from there.

    Then test by sending you an e-mail.

    If all goes well it will help all those, novices (like me) to solve this problem.  Good luck.  June G.
