Windows Live Mail is automatically download Messages

This may sound like a good thing, but I want only to download messages when I do it explicitly.  I disabled the checkbox for automatic checking, but it is still to check (and download) periodically.  How can I do it only download the messages when I said to do?

  • 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 not stop 'download' of new messages.

    Hello, I am running windows 7 on a samsumg RC512. I use windows live mail to check the corporate e-mail. The e-mail account is a pop account. Any time that I start direct mail it will download new messages and send those coming out. Then it starts to 'download' an infinite number of new messages that actually do not exist. It does not overload the machine or anything like that. Just like that until I hit the stop button. Problem is that if I do not have this message that I need to send will not be delivered, because it keeps doing this download new message loop. I tried unistalling the AVG antivirus and backup program (11 Cobian), nothing works. The account settings are ok and I don't know what to do here. I appreciate anyhelp thanks!

    You can back up your messages and contacts before you uninstall / remove Windows Live Mail. Refer to the post of Raphael_S of this link.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Automatic rejection of Windows Live Mail of messages

    I have been informed that Windows Live Mail has been automatically reject email newsletter (all about.com).  I am running Windows 7, but it's the same on another computer running Vista.  Can anyone offer any suggestions?

    Windows Live Mail may not refuse messages. At least is not the sender would know. Rejection messages are coming from your e-mail server. Any chance you leave messages on the server and the Inbox of the server has reached its capacity?

    Right click on the name of the account above the Inbox. Properties | Advanced. Uncheck: Leave a copy of messages on the server.
