Windows Live Mail. Import and export contacts.

I can't find help on how to import and export contacts.   When you open Contacts in WLM and go to the Home tab, there are icons 'Import' and 'export '.

You can be and how they are used.     My main goal is to save my contact list.   If I export my contacts list, where it's going and how I get the list?

If export you it, it exports to a text file that you can save anywhere you like.  On your computer, or safer: on a Flash drive, another drive, or even online in the cloud.

If you need it (get a new computer, your breaks down, is stolen or is burning upward in a fire), you can use "import" them and use this file to restore all contacts from this file.

    sending pictures without live skydrive or windows

    I have windows 7 and now I have windows live mail 2011 and cannot send pictures without this whole enterprise of skydrive or sign into windows live.  I want to just be able to send and resize my photos that I have with outlook or mail in the previous windows and entertain my friends with the same ease. I need to return to the previous version of mail but do not know how and what I lose my contacts and emails from the Inbox?

    1: what version of previous mail? Win7 has no default program.

    2: is it a POP3 account? Open a new message window and then attach the photos. No need for supplements.

  • Windows Live Mail - Unable to delete contacts

    WLM2011, WIN7Pro. Icon 'Contacts' to L.L. (Ctrl-3) returns a blank page. All other L.L. icons work. I do not sign to WLM popup on the launch window. Names in new Message 'To' field is the drop-down window with correct addresses, selection highlights name. Normally send and receive messages. , I can't remove it from the list of contacts. Where is the list of contacts? How can I remove contacts?

    Thanks, Tushar:

    I followed the link you suggested, found

    Is it painful?

    Windows Live Mail REALLY ask you to use Hotmail and done everything in his power to help ensure that, even at the expense of 'hide' your old contacts.

    Follow these steps to recover your contacts:

    (1) in the upper left corner click on the arrow down just above the "Email" icon to open a hidden menu.

    (2) select Options.

    (3) select Mail.

    4) go to the Connections tab.

    (5) click on "Stop signing in.»

    It will be "UnHook" your client Windows Live Mail and like magic your old contacts will reappear.

    In my opinion, it's an EPIC FAIL the part of Windows Live Mail ability to manage contacts.

    and completely solved my problem, as if by magic.

    Thank you.

    Hi Doug MacDonald.

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. What web browser are you using to print Web pages?

    If you use Internet explorer, then change the margin settings to the title of the page setup in the file menu and check if that helps.

  • Windows Live Mail - import contacts very slow

    Import contacts Windows Live Mail is very very ssssloooooooooowwwww.

    I am importing approximately 2300 contacts from a CSV file created using the WLM on the same computer export function, until I had to do a complete Windows re - install. The export function created the file quickly enough. Importation is happening now for 15 hours and has just exceeded 2000 contacts so I guess there are still a few hours or more.

    It's pretty extreme and ridiculous! Am I doing something wrong or missed something? In the previous mail clients such as Outlook Express and Outlook, this task took a few seconds.  It looks like a huge not backward, even a computer in the era of steam dispose of such a simple and banal mission without imposing its only megabytes of ram.

  • 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

  • You want to CANCEL Windows Live Mail Initiation and remove it from my computer.

    Start Windows Live Mail to see what 'new' services it was available.  She TOOK over MY COMPUTER, copied/converted all my e-mail folders to in its files and formats. (Fortunately it seems to have left my files of such ordinary Windows Messaging what.)  I don't see anything new he worth having, format is less than plain Windows Mail - more spread out, more junk to eliminate through to get to what I need.

    I so WANT to CANCEL THE 'CONVERSION', REMOVE THE (duplicate SPACE GASPILLER) FILES IT CREATED AND THEN REMOVE ALL TRACES OF WINDOWS LIVE (all THE COMPONENTS) OF MY COMPUTER.  HOW CAN I DO THIS WITHOUT > WITHOUT< damaging="" my="" original="" plain="" windows="" mail="" folders,="" emails,="" contacts,="" accounts="" etc.="">



    To uninstall Windows Live Mail (WLM)...
    Start button > Control Panel > Classic view > Porgrams and features (or Add and Remove) > scroll to find Mindows Live Essentials, right-click, click UNINSTALL > follow the instructions from there.

    Note: you can check if
    1.) your contact lists are the same in WLM and WM. If this isn't the case, you will need to save it in csv.
    2.) you want to keep the WLM email messages. (If you "leave a copy of messages on the server" turned on, so you have no question there).

    If you like and you don't know how, please post back.

  • Problems with Windows Live Mail send and receive e-mails

    Hello

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium and I used Windows Live Mail 2012 (WLM) for many years without any problems, and I prefer it much to Outlook.com. I have my own personal e-mail account and three other accounts available in WLM. I can send and receive emails from three other accounts, but my own account keeps giving the error message:

    Can't send or receive messages on behalf of Clive Read.
    Server error: 4402
    Server: 'https://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx '.
    Windows Live Mail error ID: 0x8DE00002

    That being said, I can actually send emails, but cannot receive them-weird!

    I spent several hours internet research solutions, including Microsoft pages, forums, etc and later of the end of "solutions" offered in 2013. Many of the suggestions I've tried, without success. I ran other controls have shown that initpki.dll is absent, but I don't know if it's possible causes and, if this is the case, my attempts to locate, re - save or download one have failed.

    My version of WLM doesn't have a "Tools" link, and I can't seem to find where the incoming and outgoing port settings. It gets really tedious, so I'd be grateful for all solutions to update to my problem and perhaps an explanation as to what may have caused it in the first place.

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

  • Windows Live Mail, send and receive error message: error in Live Mail ID 0x8DE00001

    original title: sending and receiving erratic

    Today I created 2 new email my Live Mail account addresses.  Sometimes, I am allowed to send and receive, and at other times, I get an error (Server error 4102) with Live Mail error ID 0x8DE00001.  After the repeated efforts to send/receive, a box appears for me to decipher the CAPTCHA letters.  Yet once, it takes repeated efforts to have accepted answer.  By the same box, told me that I could make verification easier by my cell phone available that I might have a check of the text sent to me.  Don't you know, my Cricket phone is not accepted.  I had a few problems with Windows Live since put so that it uses a couple of years.  Why this problem all of a sudden?  I want to prove once and for all I'm not a crook or a spammer.  What can I do?  It's so frustrating.

  • Windows Live Mail 2012 request username and password

    Windows Live Mail 2012 never asked me user and password because it has been installed. After trying to send a photo from my Canon camera software after I had downloaded the images from the camera, asked for the username and password. Joined those from Microsoft. E-mail does not; It is in the Outbox. Choose the icon on desktop for Windows Live Mail 2012 and all contacts are gone. Email arrives, but can not send email. Need problem solved.

    If you try to use the Windows function send to > message recipient to send an image, you must be logged into Windows Live Mail. There is a bug in the program.

    When you are connected, you will see the contacts that belong to the Microsoft Account sign in to help. These are the same ones you see at http://people.live.com so sign here with the same account. If you are not signed in, you will see the default contacts list. There is no link between these different sets of contacts.

    To avoid the bug, start by opening a message compose window in Windows Live Mail (for example by pressing Ctrl-N), and then apply a Insert > single photo to insert an image or images in the body of your message, or attach a file to send in the form of attachments.

    If you are not able to send messages, please remove any message not sent from the Outbox, then compose a simple message, try again with a single topic and send it to yourself. Send the error message in your response.

  • How can I import groups of Windows Mail contacts in Windows Live Mail?

    I work in a small office where we have computers running Windows Vista and using Windows Mail (version 6.0.6000.16388).  We have hundreds of contacts and a few contact groups on these computers.

    A few months ago, we got two new computers running Windows XP and Windows Live mail (version 2009, version 14.0.8089.0726).  Other computers at the office always have Vista and the other version of Windows Mail.

    I was able to export our hundreds of contacts and import them into Windows Live Mail for new computers have all the contacts... but I was unable to find a way to import groups.

    These groups are all very large and comprise mostly/entirely out of contacts that do not have individual contact entries.

    I've been Googling for a solution to this problem.  The page nearest you, that I could find was this:

    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/3818-Windows-Live-Mail-import-Vista-contacts-contact-groups.html

    I was very discouraged when I saw the big red warning to the top of the page:

    ---------------
    In the Groups of Contact with Vista, only contacts who are also included as normal Contacts will be imported into Windows Live Mail. Contacts that have been created for the Contact Group only will not be imported into Windows Live Mail. You will need to write these down and add them manually in Windows Live Mail.
    ---------------

    This pretty much described my situation exactly, but manually going through all groups, write all contacts, and then import them manually into two separate machines should always and is simply not an option.

    Are there really no other way I can get these groups into Windows Live Mail?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you very much!

    I have not actually tried this, but I think this method will work.

    1. get a free Live ID (or @hotmail.com or @live.com).

    2. install Windows Live Mail on Vista computer. During the installation, it will offer to signature with a Live ID. Do.

    3. the first performance of Windows Live Mail, it will be important to all contacts from Windows Mail. Give him enough time to synchronize all contacts with the web version of this Live ID.

    4. open Windows Live Mail on the new computer and then connect with the same Live ID. The automatic synchronization process will transfer in all contacts of the web version of this Live ID.
