I am running Windows Live Mail 2011 using Windows 8.  I have NONE of these problems running Windows Live Mail on my computer that uses Windows 7!!! I think these problems must all be related to Windows 8. And I don't know why Live Mail 2011 came with this new laptop, given that it is several years old and there is a newer version out there.

50% of the time, I get these messages when I sign in to look at my emails:

Checking for messages on Charter.

Your IMAP server has not responded in 60 seconds. Would you like to wait another 60 seconds for the server to respond?

 

Some errors occurred while processing the list of tasks. Please review the list of error below for more details. But there is NO list of errors below!

I usually then use a different mail program connected to my Charter IP. Then, at a later point, when I go back into Windows Live Mail one of two things happen. Either my emails finally download the way they are supposed to, or just the headers download and when I go into an email, there is no content to it. Sometimes the program indicates I have say 45 emails, but they do not appear in the In box! Then I have to go into Accounts and click Download Emails. Once I had to wait 3 entire days before the emails came in. I usually have no trouble sending emails, although sometimes I cannot even do that. I get a message that says the mail program cannot cannot to the server.

ANY advice anyone can give me would be helpful. I think my frustration is so high at this point that I am going to start using gmail in hopes that I will not have these problems.
