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

  • Cannot open attachments in Windows Live Mail on Windows 7

    I bought a new Windows 7 machine, a few days ago (July 12, 2013).  I installed Windows Live Mail and uploaded (with limited success at best) messages from Outlook Express in WL.  I uninstalled McAfee and installed and activated Norton.  Then I started using WL email today.  I have received a few messages with Word attachments.  I can not open them with a double-click or with right click then click on 'open '.  I can not print them.  When I try, nothing happens.  I can save to a folder and then open them, but it's a great nuisance.

    Surprising oddity: I think THAT I managed to open the first attachment that I received.  I know that I looked at, and I don't remember any problem.  But I can to open it (the email with the attachment is still in my Inbox queue), or any other accessory.  It is a particular idea to any aspiring detective software!

    In the windows of forum I see that others have had similar problems, and no one could help you after several tries.  Is this just a problem with WL?

    Good luck.

    FWIW, I used Outlook Express for years. When I got this Win7 machine, I tried WLMail 2009, which was "pre Ribbon toolbar" and I did not like much for her. 2011 is a disaster. I switched to Thunderbird and I am very happy with it.

  • My windows Live Mail has frozen. Lost contacts, does not work online, can not open messages

    While away from home, I used my mobile to get online and download emails. As soon as I saw them, I clicked on 'work offline' in order to read and write the answer without using the 3 G for too long.  Since then, I have not been able to work online so I can't send or receive emails or open the 'old'. Also, my contacts have disappeared.
    I tried "System Restore" and repair Windows Live essential.  Neither made any difference.
    Can anyone help, please!  It is a disaster.
    Thanks, Ros

    Dear RosMarsden

    Even if you have lost any info at the end of Windows Live Mail client on your laptop desktop computer, it can not be lost completely, as the good sign is have you worked offline, data so never synchronized with the real Active Server to web-based Microsoft account. Try as a solution to connect to http://www.outlook.com/ and see if you can see all of your emails and contacts. If you can view online repair and then at the end of your computer is easy, let us know if you can reach your contacts online via the Web page and NOT Windows based on the client software.

  • 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)

  • How to import Windows Live Mail storage folders in Thunderbird

    I am trying to import the .eml files that I have in storage files in WLM in Thunderbird. Of the help section on Thunderbird:

    Windows Mail (.eml files) in Thunderbird import is enabled by ImportExport third-party add-on tools. Download and install this add-on to transfer messages from Windows Live Mail into Thunderbird.

    However, import Tools is an as file and my computer (Windows 7) cannot open it. Although I found an online program that convert into something readable, my software virus identified the program as malware. Does anyone know a way to safely convert a file as something Windows can recognize and run?

    Or y at - it another way to get this add-on to run?

    You should have a new tab under tools at the bottom that says "import/export - tools".
    You can watch modules / Modules to see if
    ImportExportTools is installed and activated. The choice of installation it is probably fine as it is.

    Do you know if you have Intel Rapid Storage Technology software installed?  I found some people having a similar problem on a Microsoft support forum...

    The user named "" §ansaL ~ "" seems to have found the answer.  It's like the 7th or 8th answer down on this page.

    "Anyone who receives the error 8E5E0247 in trying to connect to Windows Live Msgr. and/or Windows Update that has an INTEL processor & HDD more than 300 GB to install the Intel rapid storage technology software."

    It gives a link to download the software, but this link is no longer valid.

    A quick search for "Intel Rapid Storage Technology" refers to this page where you can specify the operating system and download.

  • Pavilion HPE Elite 150ff: error message on windows live mail

    I have 1 email account which works fine, but when I try to enter a different e-mail account, even if it is configured correctly, I get an error message code 800cc0f, I'm not a grumpy if don't want not to mess with the registry, this office has 8 GB of ram and a 1 terabite HD and almost nothing on it except for a couple of videos no music or images, but every time I try to download the necessary files for this new e-mail account, I get this error message.

    I did a certain rate of recovery by using the discs purchased from HP, I have Norton installed and also have Malware Bytes Anti Malware coming to clean up so no malware or viruses. Everything that I do is check my email and write my own recipes so enough on it to use my disk space or memory, but I can't get the address of an e-mail to work. I contacted my ISP server and they checked to make sure that I had configured it right and they suggested to uninstall windows live mail and reinstall what I did several times as well as recoveries from the factory

    Any ideas on how to fix the Please this problem, I'd appreciate it.

    MIcrosoft has taken a decision on Windows Live Mail (WLM).  Last night I suffered, once again. I thought that my advice was useful, but I'm also trapped me.  As I have 5 computers with WLM, whenever I change the password on 1 machine, it cripples the other 4. Looks like Microsoft has a plan? only 1 machine? It's maybe just me opening WLM on other machines, trying to work around their decision.

    (1) it made me 3 times to call manager automatic password change my password because I have treid open WLM.   It retains all the passwords you have used, so I have to choose a new password. I can ALWAYS use a previous password.

    (2) forced me to change my Messaging Manager in OUTLOOK.   This isn't like WLM. He also forced advertising as a sidebar to the right.

    (3) now I hate Outlook. I mentally joined the millions he hate too.

    (4) now, I have to have 2 different e-mail managers, (Outlook and Cox.net) just to get all my mail.
