Windows Live Mail and blocked top-level domain list

Under spam / Security Options / International are a couple of tabs that I don't understand.

Blocked the field list high level: since so much spam - and dangerous E-mail comes in general - overseas, it seems like an obvious ' block ' e-mail from all areas overseas.

Blocked encoding list: yet once there are many foreign countries.

As all my correspondents are in the United States or the Philippines, does make sense to block all foreign domains and encodings except in the Philippines?

If not, why?

Hello
no need to block areas overseas. First off, with the sophistication of the software today, they could get around it if they really wanted. 2nd, not all negative messages comes from overseas. Third, you spam filter can be tweaked to handle much of the spam.
My advice is just to pay attention to what you open... do not open attachments without first of all of their scanning.
If you do not know the name... Keep it on the road!
Let us know if you have any other questions

  • What is the difference between Windows Live Mail and Windows Live Hotmail

    I have a laptop with Windows 7 and 'Windows Live Mail account'.   It seems to work very well! About 11 months later, I bought a desktop computer with Windows 7 and I tried and tried to get this computer to the top in the same way, but with a different e-mail account.  Whenever I try to set up mail, it always comes back with Windows Live HotMail.  My question is: is there a difference between accounts "Windows Live Mail" and "Windows Live Hotmail?"  If there is a difference, why can't I created a NEW Windows LIve Mail account on my new desktop computer if I use an email 'different '?

    Internet service provider (ISP) - those that you get your Internet from.

    Email Service Provider - the people who provide you your e-mail services (usually can be understood by your email address - as @hotmail.com, Hotmail/Windows Live Mail or @gmail.com average Google mail...) Etc.

    Email Client - the application on your computer that you use to send and receive email from your provider.  Could be Microsoft Outlook (all versions), Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird, or you can simply use Internet Explorer/Firefox/Safari/opera and so on to connect to the web interface of your e-mail Service provider and consult your emails in this way.

    Sign here is just one thing.  Your real account.  You may have several.

  • Windows Live Mail and RT of Windows 8 Tablet

    This question is for Microsoft themselves.  POP3 email support calls is quite large and POP3 is entrenched in the system a little more than you guys think.  You say you had RT Outlook during development, but drains the battery, but how can he do?  The ordinary Outlook on a laptop do not drain the battery!

    However, if so, why not take Windows Live Mail and make a version of the app of it?  It is a lightweight e-mail program that even works a lot like Outlook and it should not take a lot of resources to operate.

    Outlook.com is an option that "works" but not very well regard as the way in which people use email.  I used it myself but she dumped.  I don't like how works the management of contacts.  Other people have other reasons.

    Thus, Windows Live Mail is a plausible solution for those who use the POP3 e-mail.  It works very well, handles multiple accounts like some people want, and is a lightweight program that does not use that much space or resources.

    How about that as a solution if Outlook RT is a flat tire?

    POP must die.  We are inundated with hundreds of thousands of complaints from users on POPS to complain that the email arrives on one device and never to others (such as a phone, tablet or another PC), because POP deleted from the server.  And even if you resolve that it does not sync.  So, they complain that they delete an email from one place, and it always shows on all their other computers and phones, and tablets so that they have to delete the email even 5 times.  Then they complain that they have moved a message to a folder, but still once he settled only on this one machine.

    Nope, just POP will not cut in a world where people want their stuff to really work together.  A system that allows the synchronization is necessary, and that means IMAP or EAS or another protocol to synchronize both ways, between all the systems they use.

    - - -

    As for Live Mail, it's like outlook.  It maintains a constant connection.  That's fine if you want that your tablet to have the life of your laptop battery (2 or 3 hours, top?) but people want their tablets to last much longer than that.  So don't expect any Outlook or Office Live Mail here either.

    (I don't know of anything other than my own observations and opinions, but I try to be realistic... I sincerely doubt he's never going to happen).

  • Problems sending mail in Windows Live Mail (and Windows Mail)

    De :  MarkJ

    Hello

    I had a go at some of the solutions I've seen for this problem but have had no luck yet, I wonder if Miss me something?

    So, I can receive emails without problem (in Windows Live Mail and Windows Mail), but don't have had no success sending (although I can always send mails when I access my account online).

    The fixes I've tried so far are:

    -through my account settings and to ensure that they are as indicated by my email provider (I have an ntlworld account). IE POP3 and SMTP settings must be correct.

    -then I tried to check the box "my server requires authentication" (did not work)
    - then I tried completely disabling my firewall/anti-anti-virus/e-mail protection (ZoneAlarm) who also worked
    - then I tried to install an update of sorts for Windows Mail (not Live Mail) (found on a Board communities, sorry can't remember which, but it was an official update from microsoft)... and it does not work
    -Finally, I tried to install Windows Live Mail... and Yes you guessed it, that does not work either (I also checked the settings etc.)

    ....... I wonder why things have to be so difficult?

    Can someone please tell me where I'm wrong!

    This is the error message I get:

    The connection to the server has failed.

    Subject 'Test '.
    Server: 'smtp.ntlworld.com '.
    Windows Live Mail error ID: 0x800CCC0E
    Protocol: SMTP
    Port: 25
    Secure (SSL): No.
    Socket error: 10060

    Thank you very much

    To solve the problem of sending (at home) once for all, you need to replace the Server SMTP from Orange to smtp.ntlworld.com. I don't know, what if Orange will allow you to keep your return address of NTL, when sending to Windows Mail. It's worth a try.

  • Is there a way I can recover my Outlook Express email. I hate Windows live mail and want to come back to Outlook Express. I have Windows 7.

    Is there a way I can recover my Outlook Express e-mail account.  I downloaded Windows Live Mail and don't like it at all.  I can't understand how to add a new contact.

    You post in a forum of Vista and Outlook Express last used in XP. If you mean Vista Windows Mail, unless you have removed the account, just open the program and use it. You can remove WLMail whenever you want. It is a part of the programs in the window Live Essentials Control Panel uninstall section.
