• Import of Outlook Express 6 in Windows Live Mail e-mail

  Hello

  This has been addressed several times before, but I am struck errors whenever I try to perform an import.

  I indicated Live Mail of Win7 in the sense of a perfectly fine case contain two XP Outlook Express 6's *.dbx files imported those files into Outlook and have exported to a *.pst file (in the same folder).

  During an attempt or import I get the same message: "no messages are located in this folder or another application is using the files.

  Whereas the process is so simple I can't work on what I'm doing wrong.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  See you soon.

  I indicated Live Mail of Win7 in the sense of a perfectly fine case contain two XP Outlook Express 6's *.dbx files imported those files into Outlook and have exported to a *.pst file (in the same folder).

  You need import Outlook pst files into OE, not vice versa, and then copy the OE message store to the new machine.

  Transfer of data from Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail:

  For messages:

  Copy the * ENTIRE * OE message store folder to a flash drive. (Folders.dbx must be included). Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail. Open WLMail and: file | 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, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (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.

  The steps I have provided previous works if you use a web browser to connect to your emails. Windows Live Mail is an email client that requires your password to be added during Setup. This service can be set to disconnect when you quit the program

  If your computer is shared, a work-around for you would be to create a new user account and this secured with a password. This only will allow you to access your emails.

• Windows live mails in double - one of my accounts that I use on Windows Live Mail will receive twice the same email

  When I opened my laptop (always on), windows live mail will automatically connect and checks for new messages. I have 3 email accounts, but one of them receives the same e-mail twice. I contacted my ISP provider and was informed that the messages I get are only on the server once and that Windows Live Mail is the cause. I looked at the settings and therefore has a technician from my ISP and do not see why this is happening. Can anyone offer assistance.

  @Maksteel

  For beginners... Disable the following in the "Général" tab of Windows Live Mail (WLM) options

  1. to access the general tab--> WLM 2011/2012(Alt F O M) or WLM 2009 (Alt T O)

  -Send and receive messages at startup

  -Search for new messages every minute (s) ' x'

  2. make sure that the account receive duplicate emails is not configured to leave a message on the server (default of WLM is to "leave a message on the server)

  3. continue to use WLM by send and receive in manual mode, if no duplicates re-enable each item one time and repeat the test for the cause.

  If reconfiguration is not working... Post your question in the forum of answers from Microsoft Mail and make sure that you include the type of e-mail account (Pop3, IMAP, Http) with the double problem.  Note: If IMAP double-check your configuration in your web account interface. FYI... recommended are the WLM versions for each operating system: XP (2009), Vista (2011), Windows 7/Windows 8 (2012)

• Is this possible using calendar (Windows Live Mail) on Dell Streak 7 Tablet?

  I am using Windows 7 on my laptop and my email is Windows Live Mail.  I use the calendar with Windows Live Mail.  I would use this calendar on my Dell Streak 7 Tablet instead of keeping two different calendars.  Is it possible or can suggest you something easy to do for me (I'm old).  I get my email on

  the table ok I'm going in my cable server.

  Thanks, Cobina1

  Your Tablet works with Windows?  Windows Live Mail is for Windows computers.  If the Tablet is using Android as do most non-Apple tablets, you cannot use Windows Live Mail.  There are a lot of calendars Android you can use however.

  Good luck.

• I use my windows live mail and password and now I don't remember the password I used someone can help

  I have a Dell Inspiron 3542 and there a lock screen and I use my windows live email and password, and now I don't remember the password I used someone can help? For now, I use my Dell Inspiron 1545 to my back upwards

  If the computer is on an Internet connection, you can reset the password on the Windows Password Reset site.  If the PC is not online right now if that won't work because it doesn't 'knows' the new password.

  If there is another user account on the computer that has admin access, you can use it to reset your own password from the control panel.

  If there is no other user accounts, there are a built-in backup Administrator account, but for security reasons, you can only get to Safe Mode.

  I wrote a blog where I explain how to make each of these options: http://cmdrkeene.com/reset-forgotten-windows-password

• Need help: moving from Outlook 2000 to Windows Live Mail

  I would like to ask my question/problem to be seen by someone who is an expert in your e-mail programs (Outlook, Windows Live Mail, etc.). Thank you!

  Here's the scenario:

  (1) we have a PC of office 9 years old who is replaced.  The operating system is Windows XP Home Edition - SP 2.  This PC runs a Microsoft Office 2000 Professional for ever... including Outlook 2000, which we use for our home e-mail accounts.

  2) there are 2 users on this PC (myself & my wife).  Outlook 2000 is configured in a way that allows both of us to share these same accounts. Regardless of whether I am connected to the computer or that it is recorded, when launch us Outlook, we are all two accesses to the same ".pst" file with the same Messages, the same Contacts & calendar.  (There are currently 2 set POP3 e-mail accounts in place of our provider (Verizon) that both feed into the same Inbox reception & records).

  (3) the old PC is replaced by a new system of office under Windows 7 Home Premium.  The new system came preloaded with Microsoft Office 2007 - Home & Student edition - comprising STEPS of Outlook.

  (4) outlook is a great program, but also because it's like a desktop messaging system, it's really more that most need people for the welcome e-mail.  We therefore decided to try Windows Live Mail on our new computer.

  (5) I've copied the ".pst file ' of our old PC to the new & attempted to import the messages into Live Mail.  Live Mail did not provide an option to import this format - only Outlook Express 6, Windows Mail & Windows Live Mail itself seem to be supported.

  (6) I read a message board entry online (can't remember where) that said that Outlook 2000 is not in a format that is compatible with Live Mail.  So, on our old computer XP, I opened OUTLOOK EXPRESS & imported all messages, contacts and calendar entries in Outlook 2000 ".pst" file.  The problem is: I don't know what to do next!  Everything is imported in Outlook Express on the old PC, but I don't know the name of the file they are or what I should do to get the Live Mail on the new PC to see.  The Dell tech support technicians were absolutely no help at all, I have turned to you all!

  Here are my questions:

  Can I configure Windows Live Mail to work in the same way that Outlook 2000 - shared between 2 users?  Our provider allow multiple e-mail addresses.  They all do not have to feed in boxes receive same account, but for myself & my wife, I would like to be able to see the Archives of message even when we are connected.

  In addition, my wife got a new Windows 7 laptop.  Would it not possible to 'network' of the ".pst" file in a shared folder so that each computer can see it in Live Mail?  (It would be a "friendlier", but it isn't a necessity by all means).  Or Live Mail not use same ".pst"?

  Or do we forget Live Mail completely & buy Outlook 2007?

  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

  Dexter

  You do all the right things!  To find the folder that contains the Outlook Express files on the old XP computer, click Tools > Options > maintenance > store folder .  Copy this folder on the Windows 7 computer.  Then import Microsoft Outlook Express 6 on Windows Live Mail through this folder.

  Windows Live Mail supports multiple e-mail accounts.  Each has its own set of folders (Inbox, sent, deleted items, etc.).

  Only Outlook uses ".pst" files  I don't know of any way to share a file between two computers ".pst".  You can set up e-mail on computers programs to read the same incoming messages.

• Windows Live Mail 2011 research question

  I have recently installed Windows Live Mail 2011 and since I installed it, I noticed that when I enter a word or name, or e-mail address in the search for a message function, it very often does not find the email (s) concerned. I come to find the message manually. On the old version of Live mail, everything worked fine.

  Any ideas on what could be the cause and how to fix this problem?

  BTW. My OS is W7 32-bit

  Respectfully, Ronnie, who is not very useful. Windows Live Mail depends on Windows Search for his research works, so if it does not work, there is a problem with WS and not with WLMail. The question is quite on the topic in this forum, and Dave is not likely to get a quick settlement more in windowslivehelp.com.

  @Dave:

  First things to check is that your storage folder is being indexed and if mail messages files are being indexed with the properties and content. In WLMail, locate your store folder by opening the worksheet Options (Ctrl-Shift-O), the Advanced tab, click Maintenance , and then store the fileopening. Note the path.

  Open Indexing Options in the control panel (just type indexing options in the start search box). Click on the Edit button, navigate to your storage folder and ensure that the box is checked.

   

  Click the Advanced button and open the tab file types ensure that the check box next to the eml and nws rss extensions are checked and that the description of filter shows Windows Live MIME filter. Click on each extension in turn and make sure that the properties of the Index and the content of the file is selected at the foot of the dialogue for each of them.

   

  If these settings are what they should be and you make changes, try solving the problems of search and indexing in the Panel. Start typing the search and indexing in the search box of the start up until you can see and select find and fix problems with Windows Search at the top of the results panel. Do not select the mail option; Windows Search considers Windows Live Mail messages as files, not e-mail.

   

  If after all that your searches don't work always, after the return.

• How to export my contacts from Windows Live Mail on XP

  I searched for this answer for the last 2 hours.  All the answers are for Vista & Windows 7.   How to export my Windows Live Mail addresses so that I can use in Thunderbird?  I'm moving to Thunderbird because quick view is off & on display unread messages.  They watch for a few days, then stop broadcasting.  Then repeat for a few days, then stop again.  This is happening for more than a month because there was an update of the first part of the last month.
  But back to my original question.  How to export my contacts from Windows Live Mail.  When I click on the file to export and then export, there is nothing highlighted.   So, how can I get my contacts?  Or is there another way to do otherwise than through WLM >

  Thank you

  This is happening for more than a month because there was an update of the first part of the last month.

  There has been no update for WLMail 2009 since April 2010. Update do you think has affected your quick view?

  How to export my contacts from Windows Live Mail.

  Open the contacts window by clicking the address book at the foot of the folders pane. On the file menu, click export , and then select comma separated (CSV) values. If you don't see the menu bar, press ALT.

  Note that the last statement on the help page (Export contacts) is wrong: by dragging the window contacts contacts on the desktop doesn't create any kind of file. In version 12 and 15, this produces a vCard (.vcf) file for each contact, but not in the version 14 (WLMail) 2009.

  Windows Live Mail has its own support at the Windows Live Solution Centerforums. Please address any other question you may have on one of the forums on the right side of this page. You are probably asked to give your version of WLMail and Windows so that the answer may be more accurate. In WLMail to find your version of the software, a press on ALT - H. If it doesn't show you the version and the build number, press on escape to two times, and then Alt - F B.

• Unable to save attachments in Windows Live Mail

  First of all, I saw this question raises a number of times on this and other sites to support, but I've yet to see it resolved. I'm running a fully corrected and updated current version of Windows Vista SP2 and you have installed Windows Live Mail in my default e-mail Manager. In short, I'm only able to download attachments of any kind by drag-and - drop on my desktop - all usual ways have no effect, or produce a generic error message.

  Upon receipt of an email with parts attachments of any type in any amount:

  1. Double-click an attachment icon - no effect
  2. Right click, don't choose 'Open' - no effect
  3. Right click, choose 'Print' - successfully print paper or .pdf [my default printer]
  4. Right-click, choose "save under"-"save attachment as" command prompt opens. When you click 'Save' (on the desktop for these examples), prompt disappears, and no file is saved on the desktop.
  5. Right click, choose 'Save everything' - 'Save attachments' command prompt opens. When you click on "Save", the error message if there is a registration error, one or more of the attachments. Please check your free disk space and try again. Note: The available disk space is not a problem on this machine.
  6. Drag / drop the attachment of the WLM message on my desk - work successfully.

  Solutions already attempted:

  1. Delete all temporary files of Internet Explorer 9 [any effect]
  2. In IE9 security options, ensuring"download file"is "activated". [any effect]
  3. In IE9 security options, disable the "Protected Mode" [any effect]
  4. After trying the previous two solutions, change the security zone in Windows Live Mail (Options--> Security--> Security tab Options) for the "Internet Zone" rather that "sensitive sites"area [any effect]
  5. In Windows Live Mail, ensure that "do not allow the opening or saving attachments that could contain a virus" box is unchecked [any effect]
  6. Ensure all analyzes e-mail is disabled by my anti-virus (Avast software! Free antivirus 6.0.1367). Note: No product AVG, Norton or MacAfee have already been installed on this machine, I understand that their presence (current or former) may contribute to this problem
  7. Use ProceXP to display all the assets of .dll files used by Windows Live Mail to make sure that nothing unusual is running. Nothing unusual, although wlmail.exe accesses the Avast! AV .dll 'snxhk.dll '. I don't know if this has an effect.
  8. Run the System File Checker tool [no problem found, no effect].

  While this problem has a workaround solution, is somewhat a disadvantage and slightly confusing (why would 'print' and drag-and - drop works, but nothing else?). I hope that I haven't missed the solution somewhere and that, otherwise, it can be resolved for the good of someone fall on this issue. Thanks in advance.
