Is there a way to make it search the local address book only, like the OLD WAB in Outlook express.

16. May 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , ,

I stopped using Windows Live mail for my business as I have 10,000 contacts and when I start typing an email into the TO field , it took forever to find a match, I think is searches on Live to find a match and this is not workable for me, very disappointing.

Is there a way to make it search the local address book only, like the OLD WAB in Outlook express.

I have found a new email client that has met most of my expectations www.emclient.com and I have reserved Windows Live email client for my Hotmail, gmail and other personal accounts, just not suitable for business beacuse of the address book, which slows me down.

Sometimes I type an email address and it puts in another address changing who I am sending to, this is very annoying

Otherwise the interface is nice.

Is my email account hijacked?

23. April 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,

This just happened again today.  Can I even fix this?

 

I use Outlook.com with a paid hotmail account I have had for years.

My own hotmail address is listed in my contacts with all my other emails addresses of my other contacts or address book. So if an email is sent to all my contacts I get a copy also.

 

Anyway I noticed in my junk email folder that an email was sent today to most if not all of my contacts.

There is a link to click to open but I have not done so in case it’s not safe. There is also something about

“*** Email address is removed for privacy ***”

 

I did not send this email to anyone myself. This is happening about once every two weeks.  And I assumed someone got my email password. So each time I changed it but it happens again.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

Windows Live Mail has separated out my linked contacts; can’t relink

29. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , ,

I use Windows Live Mail and have linked it to my Windows Phone 7. In my contacts list, I have lots of records which consist of a person's LinkedIn/Facebook/Twitter/what-have-you account plus the notes and things I've added on my phone. They are all neatly linked on my phone so that each person only appears once. 

WLM can't seem to figure this out. I have up to three or four records for some people, because I'm their contact on different websites. One contact will be them on LinkedIn, one will be just their name and phone number, ane will be them on Facebook... I can't merge or link these records so using my bloated address book is very annoying. Meanwhile, the contacts have stayed linked on my phone as well as my Live account. In fact, when I click 'clean up contacts' in WLM and get taken to my Live.com address book, there's nothing to clean up as it's all correct there.

How can I get WLM to link my contacts and get rid of duplicate entries?

2012 Windows Live Mail category problem

25. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: ,
I have set up categories from my address book, which names are visible, but when I try to edit, none of these names are highlighted, hence I cannot send an email to these people at one time.  Since the category has the correct email addresses, how do I make sure that they are highlighted again, when trying to edit them?

Shared Contacts – available when disconnected from network?

12. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,

Hello,

In our office most people work off of desktop computers but one user is working from a laptop.

We'd like to use Shared Contacts (through granting permissions and opening each other's Address Book on our respective stations).

If the laptop user is on the network, opens everybody's Address Book, and then disconnects from the network, does the laptop's Outlook "remember" all the Contacts? E.g. if the user goes on a trip, can they still view the Contact from a different user's Address Book?

Thank you!

HOW TO COPY W-Live mail contacts to another computer set up identically

09. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags:

I have a desktop and laptop set up identically in Windows-7 ....

Trying to copy the address book from one computer to other..

I have tried copying entire "Windows Live" folder which contains the address book and pasting over same in other computer.

Location: "C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live"

The second computer reverts to a prior version of the address book.  Can't get around.  Even tried deleting the folder, starting up mail which generates a blank database and then overlaying the blank.  No success.  It even reloads the prior version that I thought I had deleted.

Also W-Live doesn't seem to have an import capability for an address book of identical form.

import contacts from csv to live.com account

22. February 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , ,
i have a csv file with 46 rows comprised of first and last name (together in one cell) and email addresses. when I import the file only the 46 names are imported and no email addresses are imported. is there a particular field structure format that must be used in order to get the email addresses in, too? I also tried an import using an Outlook 2013 pst file and everything came in with % delimiters in the names and included %SMTP % at the end of each email address. I have manually deleted the 46 names from the live.com address book multiple times now.  i am at the point that manually typing in the 46 would have been faster but there has got be an easier way to succeed at this. if there is a way to import to a group just for these addresses that would be a welcome bonus tip. all helpful assistance will be appreciated but don't refer me to online articles as I have already read more than a dozen that did not offer the help I need. step by step instructions or just details regarding the required format is the assistance I seek. thank you.

BCC not sending correctly

04. February 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,

I've just repopulated my address book after a laptop crash and have had to rebuild all my folders. I've just done a mailshot to my contacts and used the BCC box for each folder group that I sent to. For some messages, the BCC didn't appear, so the message just went to the main recipient (myself) and for some it went to a few of the addresses in the folder group and for others it went to all of them.


Can anyone shed some light on what's happening? It's frustrating that I can't contact my clients!


Thank you :)
