Windows Live mail download 20 000 messages

I just got a new computer and found that as it was windows 7 I could use outlook express, so I started using Windows live mail.

The first day was fine, but the second day (today) he started to download all my old messages from my BT account. I have more than 20,000 messages, and to about 4,000 that I couldn't stop their download I deleted the program.

I tried to go to my bt account to remove, but can only remove a page at a time that will take me forever. I tried to remove the 4,000 or so already uploaded to the account of direct mail but there was a tab "select all."

I do not want to reinstall direct mail, until I know I can stop all my old messages to download. I googled this problem and found a lot of people complain about this, but couldn't find an answer.

Thank you.

I'm glad you've made any progress.

To remove all the: select one and Ctrl + A will highlight all. -Delete.

To delete a section: highlight the first one you want to remove. Scroll to last and click while holding down the SHIFT key. -Delete.

To delete several messages that alternate: hold down the CTRL key while you click each message in order to highlight. -Delete.

  • Windows live mail does not retrieve messages unless a restart occurs first. Why?

    Window live mail will not recover messages unless I restart my pc. If I reboot and then open direct mail all right, but if I wait a few hours (perhaps a shorter time...) I do not know) and try to retrieve the messages it just hinders is when extracting them... I get no error message, it's just trying to get back the message without success. If I then reboot my pc, direct mail works (until next time).

    Any ideas?

  • Windows Live Mail - Import .pst file messages

    Hello, I recently bought a new computer that is running Windows 7.  My e-mail program is Windows Live Mail.

    My old computer has Windows XP, and I served my Outlook e-mail program.

    I saved all my e-mail messages from Outlook (old computer) to a "PST" on an external hard drive, before wiping my old hard drive clean.

    I need to help the transfer (or extraction) my messages in my file .pst in Windows Live Mail (new computer).

    So, to summarize:
    1. old Outlook emails stored in a .pst file in an external hard drive
    2. new computer running Windows 7, and the e-mail program is Windows Live Mail
    3. I want to transfer my old emails (stored in the .pst file) into my new computer.

    How can I accomplish this?
    Thanks in advance.

    By downloading and installing the trial version of Office 2007, add the PST to the mail profile, and then import in WLM.

    BTW, if you have used the 'export' function in Outlook on your old machine, then you may well have problems with pst file that results. Unless you connect to Exchange Server, your data Outlook WERE already in a pst file. If you find my answer helpful, please click the button "Vote as helpful"! Thank you! My Blog

    I've been using Live Mail in windows 7, I recently tried to install updates and a message that came if I installed the updates I would lose Live mail? then, they want us to buy outlook? or is there an equivalent version of the direct male for free download?

  • Windows Live Mail does not sort messages by date

    Specifically the new Essentials 2011 - the old version would be sort the messages in the forums per day but I can't get the new version to do it properly.

    Secondly - I hate the toolbar bulky at the top with all the huge (and mostly unused) buttons - the simplicity of the old version was much, much better. If theres a way to return to the old version that would be great.

    Operating system is WIndows 7 Home Premium 64 bit if there is no difference.

    Thank you very much

    A lot of people don't like the new Ribbon interface in Windows Live Mail 2011 and want to go back to the old version.  For more information on how to do this, please see the updated Windows prompting users to install Windows Live Essentials 2011 and follow these steps here:

    1. Uninstall Windows Live Essentials.
    2. Install the 2009 version.
    3. Hide the Windows of Windows Live Essentials 2001 update.

  • How to make Windows Live Mail Notifier of new messages permanently & stay in the tray on close program

    Windows Live Mail may seem a new mail alert, but only once. It can also be in the notification area / bar tasks, but do not continue to inform. I would like continuous notification because when I'm not away and come back, I don't know unless I manually open the program that I have received the mail.

    I would also keep it in the notification area, even if I close the program.

    If you want to do something like that then you need either a third-party utility or a different email client like Thunderbird where you can change the notification.

  • Import e-mail messages from Outlook Express in Windows Live Mail?

    I have recently moved to a new PC with Win7 and have been using Live Mail - more often with success, I thought with the exception of one or two faults, but I'll probably post a question on those.
    On the audit of my old PC today, when I open Oulook Express have been downloaded more than 100 emails that have not appeared in Live Mail - dating back to the time I went.
    I tried to export these messages of OE, put it on a USB key and then import in LM LM do not seem to recognize them - these are the dbx files. Suggestions anyone please?
    Thank you in advance.
    Jeff.

    If both computers use the same e-mail address, you must do this to get the messages on both.
     
    On both machines: tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Check: leave a copy of messages on the server.
     
    On a single computer only, make sure to delete messages after X days to satisfy your allocated space that you get from your server.
    *********************************************
    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. Tools | Folder options | View.
     
    For addresses:
     
    Open the address book in OE and file | Export | Address book (wab) and save it to the desktop. Copy it to a flash drive. Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail.
     
    Open the Contacts list in WLMail, (go |) Contacts in the Menu bar) and the file | Import | Address book (wab) Windows and the point where you saved it.
     
    Note: If you use a CD or a DVD instead of a flash drive, after placing on the new machine you must remove the read-only attribute in the properties before you import.
     
    For the account settings:
     
    In OE: Tools | Accounts, select the account and export it to the desktop. This will be an .iaf file. Copy it to the new computer and WLMail desktop: tools | Accounts and import the settings from the location you saved the.
     
    WLMail specific help, please use this forum.
     
     
    If you just need to transfer these 100 messages, put a Windows folder on the desktop. Drag the messages of OE this folder. Copy the folder on the new machine and drag the messages into a folder of WLMail.
  • Windows Live Mail - only a single Inbox shows message in the message list.

    I'm using Vista Home Premium 64.

    The Inbox of my mail from Comcast in Windows Live Mail indicates that a message in the message list, but if I click with the right button on the Inbox folder and click Properties it says that I have 24 messages. I know that messages are there but hidden because if I delete the message that is displayed in the message list that which is hidden will appear.

    How can I get all the messages to show both in the list of messages?

    BTW, all other folders show all messages in their lists respective OK message including my Hotmail account Inbox, only the list Comcast Inbox folder message is this thing that is 'hidden '.

    Thanks in advance to all those who may have an answer.

    I just thought about it!

    Tab 'View' / 'Conversations' must be set to 'Off' then in this case.
