Windows Live Mail Inbox too light to be readable

I just upgraded from Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail.  The color of the list in the Inbox (and all other folders) is so light that it can barely be read.  The brush offers 12 pastel colors and other colors.  The color does not work.  I tried changing the appearance of 3d objects and it does not solve the problem but change the whole Windows color scheme.

I have more use WLMail and have not used WLMail 2011, so if you need further assistance, then I can provide, please ask here.

A workaround is a simple message rule.

Box 1: Check: all messages.

Box 2: Check: highlight with color. Click on the blue color and choose black, (no default).

Name the rule.

  • Import messages from Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail Inbox

    I can't import my Inbox of Outlook Express to WIndows Live Mail.  I saved my OE Inbox to a file .csv to a flash drive.   I then copied the file from my desktop flash player.   I open Live Mail, import, Microsoft Outlook express and stressed the desktop icon of the file.   I get an error that no message is available.  What I am doing wrong?

    Contacts can be saved on one. CSV, no messages file.
    OE contacts are stored in a .wab file. You can import this (or a CSV file)
    in WLM. Just open WLM, open Contacts, do a file-import-etc.
     
    Your messages in OE are already stored in .dbx files. Copy all the .dbx
    files on the XP computer in a temporary folder on the Windows 7 computer.
    Be sure to include the folders.dbx file.
     
    then open WLM and don't file - import - etc.

  • preserve in the "Inbox" emails in Windows Live Mail

    When the messages are downloaded from my provider ISP (Charter) in my Windows Live Mail Inbox, they disappear at random.  Email I get and then put in the folder delete remains, but not those I decide to leave the Inbox.  I think it may be related to email on my Smartphone (Nokia 925) settings.  I recently changed the POP IMAP settings and this is where the problem started.  Is there a way to change the settings in Windows Live Mail to preserve e-mails in the Inbox?

  • Lost e-mail account and subfolders in Windows Live Mail.

    I closed my laptop using the power button on a hurry last night, now I connected this morning my hotmail account to Windows Live Mail, Inbox, and sent Follders etc. were lost. Ridicule me. Live Mail was open at the time wherever I stop. However, I am sure that I did it before with no ill effects. I am concerned about the loss prevention mechanism in Live Mail. It is only a disadvantage as my account is on the internet, but everyone knows it?

  • I have windows live mail with two email accounts comcast and hotmail all of a sudden all of my comcast Inbox mail appears in the hotmail account,.

    whenever I check that my windows live mail all the emails sent to my accont comcast also are appearing in my Inbox hotmail also.

    I don't know why. the comcast account is my account by default, all emails sent to hotmail stay in hot mail, but all emasils sent to comcast account also appear

    in hotmail too. How can I stop this. I thried to delete windows live mail a reinstall it thought that it worked but still past. does anyone have the answers.

    I'm ready to dump hotmail and windows live.

    The most plausible explanation for this is that you asked to Hotmail to collect messages from your Comcast mailbox. Connect to your Inbox Hotmail, pointing to the Inbox in the left column, click the gear and select get one email from another account. If your Comcast account is mentioned on the page that opens, delete it.
