Windows Live Mail 2011 - import E-mail Mess

• Windows Live Mail disaster!

  When I started yesterday to WLM, I found that all my e-mail & custom folders disappeared. Fortunately, I had a perfect backup (on an external hard drive and subsequently, Dropbox).  I have not tried any repairs yet. I have studied the issue and it's probably my fault. The last time I quit WLM, he went in his maintenance thing. I thought that was a minute long enough so he can write the changes to the HD, but apparently not. I closed the lid on the laptop too early.

  The backup contains all the contents of C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail

  Is it enough for...

  -copy the messed up contents of the store folder to a temporary location (in case this rescue does not work)

  -remove the screwed up content

  and then...

  -copy the contents of the backup in the actual storage location?

  Or, is it a safer way to do it? 90% of email is a few POP3 accounts, and I have updated WLM in place to remove the server. So I can't get back what is not there.

  I'd rather remove the "messed up content, rename it simply to" windows live mail messed up "in case you need something from him in the future."  You can always remove it later

  Things that may not work if you do this are rules and passwords.  Almost everything else works.

  Depending on how old the "perfect" copy is you can redownload many emails POP looks like for the last downloaded message and then download the rest.

  I backup my entire WLM in this way and it does not work

• How to import my AddressBook and emails from Windows Live Mail 2011 in Thunderbird?

  My new ISP had problems with Windows Live Mail so I'm now using Thunderbird for the first time. I've never used T-bird before so keep the simple instructions.

  A picture is worth a thousand words, they say.

  

  Apparently, the choices are slightly different after 5 years. "Import all messages from a directory '

  In the toolbar, click address book. On the Tools menu, select Import and specify the file type.

  I'm talking about opening a CSV file in a spreadsheet hereto clean up the columns and positions because it is much easier to use tools of import from Thunderbird to make. (they crack on this task)

• Windows Live Mail 2011

  Hello, I have WINDOWS LIVE MAIL 2011, and I don't want to lose him. I hate Outlook with a passion. Can I pay to keep my Windows Live Mail 2011. There must be a way... There is always a way to do anything. Please I need an answer quickly as the end of June is here. Thanking you in advance.

  If you use ONLY to send and not calendar & contacts windows live mail (any version), you can configure to operate using IMAP/POP.  If you do not need to synchronize the calendar & contacts...
  It is an excellent replacement for Windows live mail which is free to try (up to 2 accounts) that BECAUSE of the work with the new outlook e-mail format called emclient.  There is also a paid version. You can either get here
  http://www.emclient.com/
  It works with Exchange, POP, IMAP and looks like Windows live mail.  Frankly, it's the first replacement I've seen that actually works.  I spent.
  They have their own support forums, a decent product and seem to be the only replacement for WLM that has the appearance of it.
  You can import all your windows live mail in emclient easily by doing a file > import > windows live mail.  This will import your current data of WLM in emclient
  On the side of caution I make a copy of the entire record of the WLM and save it somewhere safe.

• reset the wizard import identity in windows live mail

  Ayuh,

  I'm trying to move from XP to W7. I remember seeing in migrating from OE to WLM FRONT operating system. (Because the WLM for W7 version lacks the import OE account available in the XP compatible version Wizard?) I installed WLM on XP, and all my stuff of OE appeared with the exception of the references ' save/move to "in my very large rule set.

All attempts to repeat the account import fail, usually with the

  * I'm not sure that understand the rational that WLM does not know the target of the link. It imported all the folders and messages, from OE and put them into folders etc. under WLM. So that he knows where they come from and where he put them, so it's a 1:1 reference. Surely, it is a simple exercise to find the translation and change the rules in WLM?

• Windows Live Mail 2011 with Windows 7

  I'm running Windows Live Mail 2011 with Windows 7 for one Hotmail account, as well as three others with Tiscali addresses.  Microsoft has announced that they will support is no longer Windows Live Essentials 2011.

  I can manage without the Hotmail account, but my other three accounts will continue to work on Windows Live Mail 2011?

  Is it possible to upgrade to Windows Live Mail 2012 and download the latest Microsoft Update for this version.

  I have a laptop and tablet running Windows 10, but the construction option Mail is abominable and virtually unusable.

  Thank you for this very important information.  Very few of my clients use Microsoft Outlook online, or one of its related e-mail systems.  So, I was not aware of this.

  I hope won't be one problem for others who do not use Microsoft mail itself, like you.

  In your case, I recommend that you upgrade to WLM 2012.   http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-CA/Windows/essentials

  As I said before, WLM 2011 and 2012 are not visibly different, but if you use groups, you lose that.

  I suggest that you start by download Windows Live Essentials 2012.  Turn it back on.  Uninstall Windows Live Essentials 2011.  Turn it back on.  Install Windows Live Essentials 2012.

  If your WLM 2011 does not work properly, you won't suffer any loss of data.

  Windows Live Essentials is a complete set.  You should probably only WLM (which is part of it).  You can choose which items are installed.

  Microsoft announces support of falling all the time.  It rarely causes a lack of ability to work for most people.  Microsoft did this to reduce its staff.

  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.

• 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.

• Problems with Windows Live Mail 2011

  It should be clear to everyone by now that Windows Live Essencials 2011 is full of bugs and doesn't work as well as the previous version. My problem has to do with the Live ID Signin Assistant. Conflicts of this program to be able to view the network shares on the WDTV Live.

  I used Windows Live Mail for years and have been happy with the program. With this version, it was possible to uninstall the Live ID Signon companion in Add and remove some programs dialog. Apparently there is no way to uninstall this program with the 2011 version.

  Access my network shares is more important to me than to use all Windows Live programs, so unless there is a way to resolve the conflict with the Assistant of Signon, (such as uninstalling this specific program), I'll be forced to remove all Windows Live my computer programs and start using a different e-mail program. It would be unfortunate, because the habit altogether by using Windows Live Mail.

  I'd appreciate any help or advice on this issue.
