Question about Outlook Express

The results show a strange icon, even though Win 8.1 is set with Live Mail as default for .eml files.  When I try to open one of the emails by selecting or reselecting Live Mail in the drop down options of "Open", "Open with" or Properties, it doesn't work.  However, if I go to Control Panel/Programs/Windows Essentials/Repair all Window Essential programs, and run it, the problem is temporarily fixed.  Then when I run search, the results display an envelope icon, and when I click on it, the email opens.

This does not reoccur each time I restart the PC, just irregularly.

Any help most welcome.

Thanks.

Hello, 

I have downloaded windows live mail in my pc, I gave all the info my email, password, IMAP Server and Port, SMTP server and port and I always get an error saying non-internet error maybe ram error or something when I have enough ram 4GB etc

Hi, Can anyone help with login and error message with windows live mail. on Friday after a talktalk outage issue my main account would not authorise the login and password kept appearing and the error message at end is 0x800CCC92. I tried amending password through properties and other suggested solutions but still can't get past this problem, the other users came alright after initially failing but the main one seemed to have a whole box of asterisks in the password so reckon this is where the problem was and changed it back through Properties but without success. Any suggestions ?
