Windows Live Mail will not default on my default e-mail account

I have several accounts email for different purposes.  Recently, I've upgraded to Windows 7 and Windows Live Mail.  I entered my 5 accounts, which work well for the entry.  But when I write a new message, Windows Live refuses to choose the account which I have appointed as 'default'.  The result is that a lot of my emails bounce because the receiver does not recognize me.  HOW can I tell Windows Live to use the account that I have referred to as 'default' as my default account?

Which account is the default account is not used when you click New.
The account being viewed will be in the field. This is by design and cannot be changed.

Check the field to see which account is used.

By clicking on the field opens the list of accounts to another account.

  • cannot access my original Windows Live Mail account

    I signed n additional Windows Live Hotmail, skydrive etc I thought that he would give a private e-mail account and added the private storage.  Now I can't access my original windows live account email... and that's where all my emails be sent to present so I need!

    Open Windows Live Mail and click on profile.  Then click on the button black options up next to the help option (not the options button in the profile) and then click More Options.  Click linked IDS.  Then click on link an Exlisting Live ID and follow the instructions to add your ID of origin linked to it.  There are some links on how to switch between accounts in Mange bound ID that you will see if you will have instructions on how to access your old account as well as your new account - or just after if you have problems doing but I think that it is relatively simple.

    I hope this helps.

  • Multiple e-mail in Windows 7 Windows Live Mail accounts

    I'm trying to migrate my emails from my old XP PC to a new Windows 7 PC.

    I use Outlook Express on the old PC and use multiple accounts e-mail on it.

    When I import mail to WLM on the new PC, I don't know how to keep a common inbox for all accounts.  WLM seems to insist on the creation of a set of folders box of reception/drafts/feel Items / deleted for each account.  How to merge these into common folders for all accounts to make it work the same way as Outlook Express?

  • How do you define separate in Windows Live Mail accounts as you would in Outlook Express?

    I used Outlook Express for years.  Now that I have Windows 7, Outlook Express is not an option.  That's ok.  However, I have problems of establishing separate accounts in Windows Live Mail as I did in Outlook Express.

    I created three accounts in Outlook Express.  When you open Outlook Express, we saw all three names in the window.  Would you click on a name, a password, and then you connect.

    I want to do the same thing in Windows Live Mail.  I tried everything I know.  Someone suggested to go to the accounts and make new ones.  I did, but who made new account to go on Windows 7.  I don't want to do that.

    If anyone knows how to help, please contact me with directions.

    Thank you.

  • Windows Live you will not install Scanner of care

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas: this system is most stupid of THE I never thought possible. I am in the internet Explorer IDIOTICLY stupid, that works properly and is the reason I use Google Chrome in the first place, I'm trying to install this scanner and it won't install because of the stupid 'blocker'. I disabled the stupid thing, and it will not install. I thought that these idiots @ Microsoft sued for monopolizing once already, and that perhaps they had learned their lesson to make us use their crappy products (IE)? Apparently not. This is ridiculous. They want us to be proactive, and then they make it almost impossible for us to PROTECT US? WHY? Why would they do something fundamentally stupid? Honest to God I'm beginning to wonder if go to Apple would not be a better idea instead of having to go through all this BS and probably not get help anyway. What a joke!

    WLM signs component snap perfectly when the Connect button is used, but simply refuses to connect when the computer starts.

  • Windows Live Photo will not use HP F380 for scanning

    I have a HP F380 all-in-One on an Acer Aspire running Windows 7 32 bit. I tried to get a scan if Windows Live Photo Gallery, but it allows me to choose which device (appears as Hp Deskjet F300), when I hit 'Import', the window of the unit closes and does nothing.  I have no error code. (Runs fine)

    I have edited/reinstalled/restart the driver, run the printer if troubleshooting and when I hit the scan button on the printer it scans (will not let me change it), but live didn't do nothing despite knowing a scanner is attached. I tried to use the paint and Windows Fax and Scan, but when he tries to connect, it lags behind on and I have to use the Task Manager to close the programs.
