Windows Live Mail: You receive only the value of the year of mail
Strange problem; I set up Windows Live Mail and added a Hotmail account. However, only mail from last year is shown - to be exact, anything sent after August 19. This applies to all records of the account. I checked that for each folder sync settings is set to all Messages. When I check the account online via a browser, it is fine and I see previous emails.
Any help appreciated,
P.

Is there a way I can recover my Outlook Express e-mail account. I downloaded Windows Live Mail and don't like it at all. I can't understand how to add a new contact.
You post in a forum of Vista and Outlook Express last used in XP. If you mean Vista Windows Mail, unless you have removed the account, just open the program and use it. You can remove WLMail whenever you want. It is a part of the programs in the window Live Essentials Control Panel uninstall section.

Conflict between the settings of the computer and Windows Live Mail
I have a conflict between my computer settings, Windows Live Mail and Windows Live Hotmail/Calendar. When the computers ' regional and Language Options | Date - short Date Format"settings are set to"dd-MMM-yy"is in conflict with the Windows Live Mail and Windows Live Hotmail/Calendar 'date of birth and birthday' date formats. Whenever a date is placed in the Windows Live Mail "birth date and birthday" field the date in the field becomes "mm/dd/yy" which generates a conflict in date format. Enter "mm/dd/yyyy" in the date field of "birth date and birthday" in Windows Live Mail when your computer settings are set to "dd-MMM-yy" and Windows Live Mail passes the numbers 'mm and JJ '. Is there a solution? I'd like to see dd-MMM-yy on my computer.Also why Windows Live Mail and Windows Live Hotmail contact list different? In Windows Live Mail, you can enter a "anniversary date" but not in Windows Live Hotmail contacts list!WinXP all updates, WLM 2009 v14
