remove contacts twice in windows xp windows live mail

I am running windows XP on my pc and I've been running outlook express because I got it, outlook express started having problems, so after trying a lot of bugs, I decided to try windows live mail which is described as a great alternative, but when I look in contacts, everything is duplicated. I have read various fixes on the forums, but the 'manage' button and the "organize contacts" section do not exist on my screen-any help much appreciated

  • Exactly where on the computer are my 'Contacts' stored for Windows Live Mail?

    I use Carbonite backup. Unfortunately, when I tried to restore my contact list, I could not find such a file, the list of backup Carbonite or in Windows Explorer. I know where the e-mails are kept, but there is no sign of a Contacts folder (except a bunch of those empty.) I have a lot of existing contacts, but I was hoping to find an earlier version on Carbonite.

    All I really want is access to an email address who have somehow got wiped out.

    Log on to Windows as a user with administrator permissions and launch Windows Live Mail. Don't bother to sign or adding accounts unless you have to. This will establish a database of empty contacts for that user.

    In Solution Explorer, change the \Default\15.5\DBStore folder in the new user profile by one that contains the address that you need. Start Windows Live Mail and check if the old list of contacts has loaded. If so, drag the contacts you need out on the desktop to create a vCard (.vcf) files containing all their data. Copy these files to a folder (for example, the desktop) for the former user in need.

    Log off Windows and log in as the former user. Start Windows Live Mail, then find a .vcf file, right-click on it and select Open with > Windows Live Mail. In order to integrate the contact to your contact list, click Add contact .

    Please let us know if it worked and did what you want.

    For later use, Windows Live Mail includes a free online backup, regular automatic for contacts; all you have to do is to connect with a Microsoft Account. The contact list will be saved regularly and be available from any computer with an Internet connection. This will avoid having to jump through hoops was anything on your computer.

  • Problems with Hotmail in Windows Live Mail Junk folder

    I came across a new problem three days ago. I noticed that any mail sent to my Hotmail Junk folder was endangered almost the moment where that happened. It was not deleted, it was simply disappearing one second after he arrived (I can watch it happen then disappear). I am able to access these emails with webmail, so I know that they are not being deleted. The same thing happens not with my gmail accounts with Hotmail.

    My storage is nowhere close to full, and I have not changed the settings either in the month, Windows Live Mail or via webmail. Neither I ran Windows Update recently.

    Until this started, I was getting at least a dozen e-mails a day (from different mailing lists that I prefer to keep in the junk e-mail folder).

    Any ideas? Thank you.

  • Recovery of emails to a deleted account in Windows Live Mail 2011

    Hello

    I recently installed MS Outlook on my PC.  As such, I wanted to avoid future e-mails sent on behalf of Windows Live Mail that I now want to use it just for Hotmail.
    In order to test the Outlook installation, I thought I want to remove my account from Windows Live Mail in the understanding that it would simply be the future email delivery.  However, it seems surprisingly have removed all traces of the account and all associated records.  These appear to be no cases on the hard drive at all and even do a system restore did not return.
    I can't believe for one moment that Microsoft would be so easy to lose so much important data so easily and would appreciate some advice on how I can restore or access these emails.
    Thank you

    The warning appears only for POP3 accounts, but it always appear for these accounts. Other accounts (IMAP, HTTP) keep all messages showing in WLMail on the server, so remove such an account will result in no data loss.

    If you are using Windows 7, you can restore a previous version of your storage folder.

    Can I get them very well if I'm going in my Outlook.com account. I tried to remove the account from Windows Live Mail and re connecting the account but still no joy. What is the problem? These two are MS then why is no longer compatible?

    condense windows live contacts

    Because my browser can't stand Windows Mail, I moved to Windows Live Mail. My Contacts file will of 357 entries entered in 1167. It seems that the individual entries somehow obtained a copy of 3-4 times. Y at - it a simple way for me to condense my file of contacts down to original handwriting. Also when I go to send emails, the AutoComplete feature does not work. Even when I am in Internet Explorer 9 and surf the web, the auto complete feature for addresses of Web sites that should be in my contacts folder will not work.

  • How to remove Facebook from Windows Live Mail contacts

    I know that I tried this issue before and tried every obvious answer which is suggested, you name it I tried it. I also looked at the answers of moderators to others, and none of them suggests anything that I have not tried. I truly believe that the only people who could answer this question is Microsoft, but they want you to pay for them to solve what is their fault. Anyone can confirm I'm fair around Microsoft (bastards of moneygrabbing, is Bill Gates until its last billion) or can someone give me an answer that really works. If you can, I'm sure you'd be the answer to the prayers of all those hundreds of people having the same problem.

    What obvious answers? Tried what? Answers to all the moderators? We have no idea what you have done other than a useless mouth. What a waste of prayers when there are more important things in life.

  • Windows Live Mail Contacts problem...

    Hello...

    I could use some help.  : )

    Background: I installed Windows Live Mail on your laptop Windows 8.1.  Apparently somewhere during the process of adding additional e-mail accounts - Gmail account more specifically he asked do you want to include contacts.  I said yes!  Error!  It resulted in each contact showing 2 times on my Windows 7 laptop running Windows Live.

    Question: I have now each contact in my list of contacts twice.  It says 'address book' under the name and can be edited.  The other has no indication, and my best guess is that it's the Gmail account contact.

    That's what I see on laptops respective...  1.) 8.1 portable Windows - people shows only 1 time contact.  (2.) for laptop Windows 7 - Windows Live shows each 2 times contact

    Tried: 1) software, Windows Live has two contacts.  2.), remove all contacts in Gmail, Windows Live still has these two contacts.

    I'm at a lost how do I solve this problem...  Thanks for your help.

    Sandi

    I do not believe that your explanation of how this happened is quite accurate. If you add an e-mail account in Windows Live Mail, there is no question of whether contacts should be included - email and contacts are completely separate processes in Windows Live Mail.

    If you see contacts in Windows Live Mail, which are not ' of address book ", then you must be signed in to Windows Live Mail with a Microsoft Account (which could be your Gmail account). If this account is connected to Google, Google contacts will eventually synchronize with Windows Live Mail. You cannot change these contacts in Windows Live Mail.

    To break the connection, click on the rightmost button on the home Ribbon tab and select view account information. Sign in to your account again, and then click permissions.
     
    1. click on services and applications Manage.
    2. click on Edit in the connected Google service you want to remove from your account
    3. click on remove this connection completely.
    4. click on Remove.

    Back in Windows Live Mail. Click again on the button to the right and select sign out of Windows Live Mail. Wait a few minutes, and then click New and connect. Check your list of contacts.

  • 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.
