    It is relatively simple as you use and that you want to use WLM.

    You will need to copy a folder from where it is (the old installation) to another place where you know it will be (for example on your desktop)

    The folder is c:\users\your user name\app data (if it is not there, see the note below) \local\microsoft\

    At that point you will see a folder named oddly enough "windows live mail" copy on your desktop

    If you don't see the app data because it is invisible atm.  To make it visible, you need to go to your control panel > folder options > view > change to hidden folders (see figure)

    Once you have mail backed up on your desktop (or where ever) drag the folder from the desktop to the location for the new WLM (once again we C;-... just like above).  Just make sure that WLM does not run in time.  What wont be imported, it of passwords and rules.

    Accounts and data should now be in the new WLM when you open it.

  • help please. yesterday, my account Hotmail deleted all my emails and contacts on pc. now, all the contacts on iPhone 5s also disappeared. attempted to recover from the clouds, but it didn't work. Help?...

    I lost all contacts and emails.

    Have an iPhone 5s (new in December) using the latest operating system. Back to contacts with cloud, photos etc. have in desperation tried restore from the backup that I did in December but has not worked or the data is missing. I can't see the contents of the backup file, but it is one that I used when I changed service provider in December, it should be there.

    I guess the problem is somehow related to my problems to Hotmail because it seems too much a coinsidence have the same problem on both

    Advice on the possible reason of the restoration did not work and how to fix would be much appreciated

    Recovering contacts from Hotmail is done by adding the account hotmail on iPhone.

    FYI iCloud do not back up the information that are already synchronized, and your hotmail contacts are synchronized with the iCloud contacts and Hotmail servers (if you had them would be synchronized with the iCloud server).

    To retrieve the contacts to iCloud you would go to icloud.com on the computer and go to settings after you open a session. In settings, you will find backups of your information is synchronized usually some contacts/calendars and other files, and you can choose the one you want to restore, but iCloud does not restore the hotmail contacts.

  • Why Cloud Creative delete all my files and re - download them when it automatically updated?

    I lost the files since the last 3 days because the creative cloud did not and I didn't immediately. When I finally saw it wasn't syncing I restarted CC, it then automatically updated and the creative Cloud Files folder has been deleted and the 11 GB of files had to be re-uploaded CC everything I had worked since the creative cloud became insensitive immediately lost and not recoverable. CC is now useless to me if I can't count on it at least not to delete my files. I may go back to Dropbox to synchronize, at least when it goes down it does not remove my files the. 3 days of work gone in a Flash. I disabled the auto-update feature and will not fail to back up my hard drive before updating the CC manually. It's stupid. I had been very happy with CC up to this point, but it's kind of a big deal, now that I have to wait a few hours for my files for re - download.

    James,

    With the recent update of the application of Creative Cloud Desktop (1.9.1.474), we have unfortunately introduced a bug that causes the creation of a new Creative Cloud Files folder and re-synchronization of all content. This will happen only the first time that the synchronization application runs after the update. This caused an understandable pain and confusion, for which we really apologize.

    Creative application Cloud Files contains a logic that supports the use of several Adobe ID. This allows to disconnect from an ID and in, but keeps the contents of your separate creative cloud. When you sign out and change identifiers, the app moves the previous creative Cloud Files folder and it's content and he adds with the already signed in ID (User@AdobeID). Then, it creates a main folder and begins to synchronize the content of the identification of new.

    The bug I mentioned earlier occurs, as the app believes an ID selector took place and as such, moves the current record of Creative Cloud Files and attempts to annex the already signed in ID. As no switch actually took place, it manifests as (unknown).  The application then creates a main folder to synchronize the data.

    What you end up with is essentially a creative Cloud Files folder with your new synchronized data and a creative Cloud Files (unknown) folder that contains duplicate data.

    This happens once, after the last update.

    The solution is to simply delete the (unknown) Creative Cloud Files folder.

    I recommend that ensure you that you have no pending change you can do offline and you check the contents of the folder new, main designer Cloud Files contains everything you expect of him.  If not, check the contents of the creative Cloud Files (unknown) folder that your files should be there.

    If there is still an incompatibility with your data, you can check on creative.adobe.com to confirm that your data is there.

  • Thunderbird Mac will not automatically update if I re - install (overwrite app) will be always kept all of my old emails and local files?

    Im stuck on the 24.4.0 version and its always asking me auto update, but when I do its still stuck on the same screen below after leaving it ages.

    I thought that might be better to download the latest 31.5.0 and overwrite the mac app, however I fear that it may trash all my folders complexes and 5 email accounts Ive configured there?

    Everybody does it work before or a way to sort the automatic updates?

    Thank you!

    All your mail and your preferences are stored in your profile for tuberculosis and are not overwritten when you update to a new version; However, it is always a good idea to make a backup of the directory profile, just in case something goes wrong. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb to locate your profile directory.

  • Windows Live Mail will not send or receive e-mails. Also, Miss me all my old emails as well.

    my windows mail does not work

    My windows mail does not work I don't get and my emails even junk mail. You can click on send it and receive button it's not lite upward. All of my old emails are also missing.

    For your search for old emails of *.eml.  The message Winmail store beneath C:\users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows mail and messages must be in the local folders directory and the directories that correspond to records.  See www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm for background.

    Try to compact and repair the database (www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/) and see if that fixes things.  If this is not the case, try to remove your e-mail account, closing and reopening of Winmail opener and then add your account again.

    Also make sure this antivirus software not interfere because it can cause this type of behavior.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

  • BlackBerry smartphones download old Emails on BlackBerry with IMAP

    I just got a BB Curve 8330 Sprint and set up my IMAP e-mail account. I'm on a Mac, and PocketMac is not a useful way to get my email from Mail.app on my BlackBerry. My BB works fine when I get a new email: it is visible on the BB before it appears on the computer. My problem, however, is that I want all of my old emails and files downloaded on my BB. Because of my previous experiences with IMAP, I thought that when they were connected the BB would automatically download all of these emails and folders, but I could not do make or find answers online. So I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and how you solved. Nothing don't that seems to be working.

    Thank you.

    not possible unless you transfer all your emails to yourself

    BB will capture only whats new from the time that you integrate the e-mail account to your BB
