No menu 'File', available in Windows Live Mail; not even a taskbar in order

In a previous answer: "then in WLM file-import-Messages-Outlook Express 6 and place you in the folder you all the dbx files to." when I open Windows Live Mail, I don't have the command bar typical with choices or menus as "File",""Edit","View", etc. Where can I find the menu that will take me to the "import"? Thank you.

  • How to import a dbx file unique to Windows Live Mail?

    I imported my files of dbx to Outlook Express 6 for WLM (Windows 7) last month, but a valuable record has been lost due to corruption. Now, I discovered a forgotten dbx backup that I'm desperate to add to WLM7, but it does not recognize the dbx file. All the advice I have read, says that you can import all OE6 files and folders at once, and that it does not recognize simple records. There is no work around for this? I'm desperate to import this file, but do not want to lose all my other imported files making.

    Help, please!

    The reason why you can not get imported WLMail dbx files is because Folders.dbx must be included in the backup. Manually recover dbx files in OE, you can export them.

    2: transfer of data from Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail

    For Messages:

    In Outlook Express, compact you files first.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    Compress your OE folders:
    http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm#compact

    Copy the * ENTIRE * OE message store folder to a flash drive. (Folders.dbx should be included). Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail.

    V-2009: open WLMail and: file | Import | Messages | Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and the point where it was saved.

    V-2011/2012: Menu button. Import Messages. Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and the point where it was saved.

    Location of OE message store:

    In OE: Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP the OE User (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    Note: If any DBX file is over 300 MB, return to OE and move some messages from the folder related to a new user created folder and compact down the size of the file.

  • Show a total number of emails in Windows Live Mail, not only the total number in each file.

    Windows Live Mail on Windows 7-

    Is there a way to display the total number of emails you have? as opposed to simply show how many e-mail messages are in each file?

    In the section filters, it is customary to say: email unread (12).

    I did what you say.

    Now, in the views section fast, he added another line, so he said:

    Unread mail (12)

    All emails (12)

    But I know a have a few thousand emails into different folders, so, over 12 emails.

    I remember for a long time with a program called Eudora, I think, and he had a page that listed all of your files, with the number of emails in each file, and a total of all THE emails at the bottom.

    Of course, I can add them by hand, but just thought it might be something that, for me, added.

    cranberrymix,

    In my WLM 2011, category "All electronic" shows only not reading the mails for all accounts. Once the emails are read, the figure in brackets will be gone too.
    I think that it is applicable to your case.

    One last thing, if you left click all emails, you will see a long list of e-mails.

  • What is the file path for Windows Live Mail storage files in Win7?

    I had to save my old C drive and reinstall the OS and now I can't find all my e-mail folders that were under the "Storage folders" section of WLM.  Please tell us where the program records those so I can copy this folder.

    Also, where are the stored so WLM Contacts I can do the same thing for that.

    WLM is delivered with a default section called "storage folders".  They are different from where the Inbox stores the messages, you can check in the section Options/Advanced Options / Maint.

    This is the folder called storage folders is, too.

    Still looking for the answer to where the contacts are stored.

    Which varies according to the version of the program. In the last (WLMail 2011), they are in a database in the folder called C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Contacts\Default, where C:\ is the drive operating system. You won't be able to make use of all other folders next default one.

    Questions about contacts in Windows Live Mail its place in this forum. You must give your version of the software when you post it. In WLMail to find, has press on ALT - H. If that does not show you the version and number generation, press escape twice, then press Alt - F B.

  • How do I collapse to the bottom of the structure of file storage in Windows Live Mail

    I just started to use Windows Live Mail as my e-mail client after you use Outlook Express for nearly 18 years. (MS should really get back to Windows 7, no joke).  My rating system for my email is very important for me. In Windows Live Mail, I am unable to collapse to the bottom of the folder structure in my section 'storage folder '.  I would particularly like to this function in the window "move to folder".  Right now I have to scroll through dozens of folders under folders and sub sub folders to find the ones I want and it's very confusing and time consumking.  I want to cut down the records so that only the main folders are showing and I can double click to open them to find the one I'm looking for.   I tried to go through all the settings options and can find no option for me to play this role.  Help, please.

  • Windows live mail not stop 'download' of new messages.

    Hello, I am running windows 7 on a samsumg RC512. I use windows live mail to check the corporate e-mail. The e-mail account is a pop account. Any time that I start direct mail it will download new messages and send those coming out. Then it starts to 'download' an infinite number of new messages that actually do not exist. It does not overload the machine or anything like that. Just like that until I hit the stop button. Problem is that if I do not have this message that I need to send will not be delivered, because it keeps doing this download new message loop. I tried unistalling the AVG antivirus and backup program (11 Cobian), nothing works. The account settings are ok and I don't know what to do here. I appreciate anyhelp thanks!

    You can back up your messages and contacts before you uninstall / remove Windows Live Mail. Refer to the post of Raphael_S of this link.

  • Windows Live Mail not send or receive e-mail messages from a Hotmail account

    I hope that this has not been answered previously, I searched the site for answers, but nothing helped.

    Quick description of the problem:

    As a result of an impending change of internet service provider & lose the long date E-mail address associated with the supplier, thought that it is appropriate to create a Hotmail account to avoid losing another email address in the future.

    Windows Live Mail 2012 is not playing ball, but when you add the Hotmail account details that have been set up, I get an error message which is: -.

    Can't send or receive messages for the Hotmail account (NRaccts).

    Server error: 3219
    Server: 'https://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx '.
    Windows Live Mail error ID: 0x8DE00005

    I use Windows 7 Professional & have not had any problems before with Windows live mail.

    I note that a new Hotmail folder has been configured in Windows Live Mail & when I click on I see a message that says that "Windows live mail is synchronize the accounts.»  Check back in a few minutes"However this updates never & when I press send/receive I get the above error message.

    Would appreciate any assistance with this question please.

    Thank you

    I assume you have an hotmail/outlook/live email address.

    Microsoft migrates all users to a different format.  WLM can be used, but may not be used in 'delta-sync '.  It must be used via IMAP.

    You must have the latest version of WLM

    You must remove the current account (after the registration of your data) and reinstall using IMAP

    IMAP for PC

    Server of incoming IMAP mail

    IMAP - mail.outlook.com
    Server port for incoming IMAP mail: 993; Encryption: SSL

    Outgoing mail SMTP server

    SMTP - mail.outlook.com
    Outgoing SMTP mail server port: 587; Encryption: SSL (TLS)

    Server requires authentication (THE)

    For more information go here

    IMAP for MAC

    Outlook.com does support IMAP and SMTP.

    Incoming server:
    IMAP: imap - mail.outlook.com
    Port: 993
    Encrypted connection: SSL
    Outgoing server:
    SMTP: smtp - mail.outlook.com
    Port: 25 or 587
    Encrypted connection: TLS
    Username: your username
    Password: your password
    This does not work on mac os x mail unless you disable the pop in your first outlook.com account. If you have mac os x mail and you do not disable the pop in your outlook.com account first, mail will be automatically set up pop and smtp.

  • Windows Live Mail - not all received emails are displayed in the Inbox

    I get emails in Windows Live mail. I do not see some of them in my Inbox but they shows in Quickview unread. When I read one, it does not appear in Quickview no read more (I expect) but I do not see any Inbox in Quickview and its still not in my Inbox. If I do a search in Live Mail it does not appear, but if I search using the search for Windows 7 it finds and displays the path as being in the Inbox. Any ideas?

    While in the Inbox: view | Current view. Make sure Show all Messages is checked and nothing else. If this does not resolve the problem, please ask the Windows Live Mail Forums

  • Windows live mail not sending

    We operate Windows Live Mail 2011 with Windows 7.  Lately, the program does not send and we get the following error.

    The connection to the server has failed

    Server: 'smtp.comcast.net '.

    Error 0x800CCC0E

    Protocol: SMTP

    Port: 25

    Secure (SSL): No.

    Socket error: 10060

    Other computers are fine, but use MS Outlook.  Windows Live Mail is added to the firewall.  Help!

    Please follow the instructions on this page to apply the settings recommended for Comcast: to reconfigure your Windows Live Mail client to use SSL instead of port 25

    After, click work offline and delete all messages pending from the Outbox (below the records of account in the folders pane). Then close WLMail and wait a few minutes before resuming. Compose a new message to test and send it to yourself. Post a new message in your response.

  • Windows Live Mail - Import .pst file messages

    Hello, I recently bought a new computer that is running Windows 7.  My e-mail program is Windows Live Mail.

    My old computer has Windows XP, and I served my Outlook e-mail program.

    I saved all my e-mail messages from Outlook (old computer) to a "PST" on an external hard drive, before wiping my old hard drive clean.

    I need to help the transfer (or extraction) my messages in my file .pst in Windows Live Mail (new computer).

    So, to summarize:
    1. old Outlook emails stored in a .pst file in an external hard drive
    2. new computer running Windows 7, and the e-mail program is Windows Live Mail
    3. I want to transfer my old emails (stored in the .pst file) into my new computer.

    How can I accomplish this?
    Thanks in advance.

    By downloading and installing the trial version of Office 2007, add the PST to the mail profile, and then import in WLM.

    BTW, if you have used the 'export' function in Outlook on your old machine, then you may well have problems with pst file that results. Unless you connect to Exchange Server, your data Outlook WERE already in a pst file. If you find my answer helpful, please click the button "Vote as helpful"! Thank you! My Blog
