Hi Carissa,

I recently had to change my Hard Drive due to a malfunction, and  since the change has been made I have been unable to use Microsoft Live Mail. I keep getting the error code flag up when I try to open the program. 

Your calendar contains corrupt data that are forcing Windows Live Mail to close. (0x8E5E0247)

Please can you help to suggest a way to resolve this?

I've already uninstalled then reinstalled the program as you suggested above.

Thanks

I had a lot of trouble transfering all my data from one disk to a new one. I finally made it, but when I try to start WINDOWS LIVE MAIL an error windows pops up and tells me that windoiws live mail cannot be started because of damaged or corrupt data of my calendar - error 0x8E550247 . I tried to uninstall and re-install windows live several times with the same result.

What can I do?

Edited to correct the error code   

 

it says Calendar contains corrupt data. The program won't open and uninstalling it and reinstalling does not help. Suggestions please.
OK, I am getting really ticked off at Windows Live anything. Windows Live Mail now reports error code 0x8E5E0408 and says the Calendar contains corrupt data. Fine. But I cannot find the calendar folder, only calendars and I  cannot I delete the folder, rename the folder, or do anything with the files inside it.

Windows Live Mail has been giving me headaches for weeks now. It lost its ability to sort mail into the Unread Mail folder then that "fixed" itself, then it arbitrarily decides email as spam that was not spam a few days ago. And, finally, this morning after working fine at first, now refuses to start.

How about an answer to all this? My previous question was NEVER ANSWERED. Or, at least, I was never notified that it was.

I started a thread with this - error code 0xE5E0247, calendar contains corrupt data‏ - no resolution after days and days.

I completely removed Windows Live Essentials and reloaded. Now clicking "Windows Live Mail" a window comes up and says - Windows Live Mail has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution - then the next window says - A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. Nothing more happens.

I upgraded a 320 GB HDD to a 750 GB HDD.  Everything else from the old Hard Drive works fine.

I'm becoming frustrated.  Have had to use Hotmail and that's too cumbersome and not as easy as Window mail or Window Live Mail.
