Windows live mail used compared to outlook express

I prefer windows live mail. How can I remove the outlook express program that keeps popping up from time to time?

Hi Bobwisda,

Thanks for posting. To remove Outlook Express, follow these steps. Please note that you will need the Windows XP CD to reinstall this component.

Click Start
Click on Control Panel
Double-click Add / Remove programs
Once the icon Add / Remove programs is open, click the Add/Remove Windows components on the left side of the screen.
You should see that outlook Express is listed when the dialog box opens.
Just remove the check mark from the box next to Outlook Express and click on "next".
You will see a progress bar as Outlook Express is being uninstalled, and when it's done, you can simply click Finish.

Outlook Express has been removed.

I hope this helps!

  • Windows Live Mail using my screen goes black

    I use Windows Live Mail. But after a while, my screen goes BLACK

    These symptoms are probably caused by your graphics card. Have you checked for the updated drivers on the website of the manufacturer of the computer? Or the Web site of the company that produced your graphics card? Some video card manufacturers have been slow to release new drivers who play well with use of hardware acceleration WLMail.

    Windows Live Mail has its own support at the Windows Live Solution Centerforums. Please address any other question you may have on one of the forums on the right side of this page.

  • RSS Feed error in Windows Live Mail using Windows RC 7100

    I use Windows RC 7100 with Windows Live Mail.  I have uninstallied IE8 (64 and 32) because of the incompatibility of this browser with some Web sites I frequent.

    Now, when you open Windows Live Mail, I get the message "Initialization of RSS Feed support Failed". I can click OK to continue, but it's using Live Mail an unsavory experience.

    How do I remove this message.

    Try the version to the final version of the EU. The RC is not designed to run Live Mail without IE8.

  • 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.

  • Why windows live mail doesn't stop me to set up my gmail account using pop

    I am trying to access gmail via Windows Live mail 2011.

    However, I am not able to set up Gmail account in windows live mail using pop.
    A message prompts me to use the IMAP protocol.
    Why?

    The default value for the new Gmail accounts is to use the IMAP protocol. If you particularly want to use POP3, press Ctrl-Shift-T to start the Add your e-mail accounts Wizard. On the first page of the wizard, select manually configure settings, and then select POP3 on the next page.

    Once you get the job account via the POP3 service, you can delete the IMAP account. Don't forget to read and act on the warning message that appears when you try to delete the account.

  • Emails, do not download Windows Live Mail of BT Yahoo

    My wife's cell phone bought in 2011 running Windows 7 and it uses Windows Live Mail to his email. She has accounts of BTinternet and until about two weeks ago e-mails downloaded easily from the BT Yahoo accounts. E Mails can be read on the BT Yahoo server but do not download in Windows Live Mail more. Strangely it can send form emails Windows Live one of his accounts.

    How can I fix this please?

    Microsoft no longer supports the so-called synchronization delta including windows live mail uses
    If you use ONLY to send and not calendar & contacts windows live mail (any version), you can configure to operate using IMAP/POP.  If you do not need to synchronize the calendar & contacts...
    It is an excellent replacement for Windows live mail which is free to try (up to 2 accounts) that BECAUSE of the work with the new outlook e-mail format called emclient.  There is also a paid version. You can either get here
    It works with Exchange, POP, IMAP and looks like Windows live mail.  Frankly, it's the first replacement I've seen that actually works.  I spent.
    They have their own support forums, a decent product and seem to be the only replacement for WLM that has the appearance of it.
    You can import all your windows live mail in emclient easily by doing a file > import > windows live mail.  This will import your current data of WLM in emclient
    On the side of caution I make a copy of the entire record of the WLM and save it somewhere safe.
    There is a good wiki about it here

  • Windows Mail to Windows Live Mail without program

    My motherboard is dead - have hard drive in the external case. When the desktop is dead, I was using Windows Mail - had never updated. I need the contacts and e-mail desperately from the hard drive. I'm running Windows 7 on my laptop. Installed Windows Live Mail but I am unable to get the info from the hard drive.

    I know where my Windows Mail files. I tried to import live but no luck. Can anyone help please?

    For contacts, simply copy the contents of the folder to

    {command} \Users\ {user} \Contacts
    TO
    C:\Users\{user}\Contacts.

    In Windows Live Mail, switch to the contacts (Ctrl-3) window, and then select import > address book for the current Windows user.

    For saved messages, it may be best to copy the folder to

    {reader} \Users\ {user} \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail

    somewhere appropriate on a local drive, for example on your desktop. Then, in Windows Live Mail use the import messages feature on the file menu (Alt - I M) to import Windows Mail messages into the desktop folder.
