  • Why Thunderbird all in my Inbox dump if I check my email on my desktop using Windows Live Mail instead of this laptop?

    I don't have a printer connected to this laptop, so I often send emails my PC computer in the basement that has a printer. I use Windows Live Mail on the basement PC and having my main email as a second e-mail address on this computer. Whenever I open my Thunderbird on this laptop after checking email on the basement PC, I find that every email in my Inbox disappeared. I would like to know how to avoid that this happens in the future. Thank you.

    IMAP works best in your situation. Then you wouldn't have to worry about transfer of messages from one account to the other.

    If you must wear the use of POPS, set your email clients, leave a copy on the server.

  • How are updates to Windows Live Mail generated?

    I downloaded Windows Live Mail shortly before I upgraded to Windows 7.  This has worked like a charm and copied on everything from Windows Mail.
    Now I wonder how updates are handled.   My Windows Update is configured to do the Windows updates only.  If there is an update for Windows Live Mail, I will get it with this setting?
    I don't want to change my settings, if I can avoid it because I not updated from Microsoft products, I do not use.
    Thank you.

    If you are using Win7, Microsoft Update is your source of default update. As long as give me updates in the same way I receive important recommended updates is enabled, you will be offered updates for Windows Live Mail Security and others installed Windows Live applications.

  • Problem: Sent mail is not in the correct folder in Windows Live Mail.

    I installed Windows Live Mail on XP this weekend and imported all my mail to outlook 2003.

    I have two accounts, both using IMAP and both with sent folders. There is also a generic sent folder below, as a catch-all folder and is where to send the elements of these two accounts are current.

    Is there a way to make sure that sent items go in the right folder sent for each account? I ticked the box: "save a copy of sent... items. "in the tools of-> Options-> Send.

    Thanks in advance,

  • What is the difference between Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail?

    Separated from this thread.

    I realize that starting from 7/11, Windows Live is more effective on my Windows Vista system.  I understand that and I have since beengetting my Hotmail acc't workingusing only Windows Live Mail.  This am, I tried to create a new account hotmail for my friend, but we couldn't get it to accept and just stopped trying.  Now, today, I can not send any e-mail because "you cannot configure Windows Mail to use a web (HTTP) that is running Windows Vista based."  WHA?  I managed somehow to get into Windows Live when I tried to get a new account hotmail for my friend?  Also, I also receive a message from the Assistant on "you want to want to leave, you have not created your new account?  (probably not the exact wording).  In response, I clicked Yes and no, and still I can't get out of this Windows Live.  I would like to purge my system of this needless to Windows Live and only use Windows Live Mail.  Can someone help me to do this?  (My knowledge of couputer is at a basic level, so hopefully it won't be too difficult to understand.)  Thank you!!!

    (With the HTTP mess), it seems Windows Mail and Windows LIVE Mail are two very different things.

    I am not a technician, but try to stay up-to-date. I have known that Vista sucks because it came out, but it surprised me, never have used before today. So I wonder...  Windows LIVE Mail can be installed on a Vista unit, and if so he would remove the format HTTP bug? It's all THE Microsoft, after all! On my PC with Windows 7 HP with complete Essentials, including Live Mail (for PC, to avoid confusion with the version online), I have not had any problems to Hotmail at work, send or receive. GMail also, no problem, the only thing I did NOT like about Live Mail is that it doesn't have the handy function "Sweep" that I love, I just go online to own things very quickly. With only Windows Mail (which I assume is supplied with Vista), it won't let me even try to set-up Hotmail/Outlook account. It's stupid, because like I said it's all EM!

    peace ~

    Windows Mail is the e-mail that comes with client program and a part of Windows Vista. Windows Live Mail is a program available for free download; It is an e-mail client, the timing, the Manager contacts, aggregator and newsreader at a single feeding program.

    Until a few years ago, it was possible to synchronize the Hotmail accounts with e-mail clients on Windows XP and Vista (Outlook Express and Windows Mail respectively) using WebDAV over HTTP protocol. This method has been deprecated after a long sequence of initialization in September 2009. Before that date, POP3 access has been made available for all Hotmail accounts. At any time it was not possible to access Hotmail email clients accounts. There is no bug involved here, nor in HTTP format or anything else.

    Windows Live Mail is built to use a different former WebDAV protocol; DeltaSync protocol allows the synchronization of e-mail folders, contacts, and calendars between client and server.

    You may be able to download the installer for Windows Live Mail 2011 of this page: How to install Windows Essentials while offline? Do not try to include Windows Live Writer or Messenger in the installation; None of them will work and you can gum up toward the top of the entire installation Essentials if you do. It may be better to stick to one mail at first. Windows Live Mail 2011 is the latest version which runs on Vista.

  • 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.

  • Windows live mail 2011-sorting of mail

    My OS is windows vista 32-bit sp2.  I have windows live mail 2011. This has recently been updated to 2009 when I installed a windows update that includes updates of windows live essentials.  I don't know if this problem appeared at this time or not as I just noticed. Problem is that when I check my email list and I want to sort on the column, it will not be. There he performs a sort on the column of the object. The "arrow" appears in the column to watch either ascending or descending, and messages are not sorted by the column's.  I tried to sort on the column of the object to see if it would then sort by the column to, but he did not. I tried to close the output of WLM and opening it again, which was not resolved. I went to the display option in the toolbar access and selected for the type by option but that is also not sort by To.  Ugh.  It's complicated!
