Name is incorrect in Live mail

I am running Windows 7 with windows live mail.  The account is set up and working properly except that it sends a display name of a number six-digit.  Under accounts, everything is correct and the return e-mail address is correct but when people receive mail 'see' it's this number to six digits instead of my name.

A question of Hotmail or Windows Live Mail?

  • password is incorrect, and I can remember. Windows Live Mail error ID: 0x800CCC92

    Original title:

    Do not know my password

    I have currently Windows Live Mail downloaded on my computer and my emails cannot send or receive because my password is incorrect, and I can remember because I did almost a decade ago. I was wondering if there was a way to reset. I tried the https://account.live.com/resetpassword.aspx, but this page is only for accounts that work through windows online. Is the message it displays when I try and send/receive mail: cannot send or receive messages for the Optonline account (auto1). An incorrect password was entered. The next time that you send or receive messages, you will be asked to enter your user name and password for this account.

    Server error: 0x800CCC90
    Server response:-ERR [AUTH] failed authentication
    Server: 'mail.optonline.net.
    Windows Live Mail error ID: 0x800CCC92
    Protocol: POP3
    Port: 110
    Secure (SSL): No.

    I was wondering if there is anything I can do to solve this problem. I don't know how many characters my password isn't all passwords I use doesn't seem to work.

    Thank you

    Visit http://optonline.net and use the options here to reset your password. Once you have a new password, work you give access to your mailbox online, right-click on the account name in the Windows Live Mail Folders pane and select Properties. Enter the new password in the servers tab.

  • 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

  • contacts first name last name live mail

    I use Windows Live Mail on Windows 7. When I enter a new contact, he invites me to enter in the "first name" and "last name". I'm doing this, but when I use the contact in a new e-mail message, it always displays the contact as "LASTNAMEFIRSTNAME. I can outsmart him by reversing my entry to the first name in 'last name' and the name 'first name', but it's crazy to do.

    In addition to say Ron, for future information, Windows Live Mail doesn't not part of Windows, it is a part of Windows Live Essentials. (Yes I know the name of this forum is confusing!)

    In the Inbox Windows Live Mail how can I change the order of the shipper and the Re?  I have two new computers and two new Windows Live Mail.  On one, the command is correct.  Name of the sender is first in bold and easy to see.  On the second computer the Re is the first, in bold.  Name of the sender is second, smaller in size and hard to see.  I want to first see the sender name.  I have Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit for both computers.
