Contact importing in WLMail problems

07. August 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , , ,

After an Msft service call, my desktop WLMail contacts got blown away.

 

Fortunately, they all still exist in the cloud WLMail,.  So I logged on, and used the Web interface to save my WLMContacts.csv file to the desktop.

 

When I select "Import" and CSV from the desktop WLMail too, nothing gets imported, and I don't see any messages.

 

Wot to do?

Windows Live Mail Storage Folders missing – they’ve all moved into Recovered Items.

03. August 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , , , , , , ,

I'm using Windows Vista with Windows Live Mail for desktop, Version 2011 (Build 15.4.3555.0308).

I noticed yesterday that all the storage folders (I had about 10 or 15) I created have disappeared.  When I delved deeper I saw that they have all been moved into folders buried under the "Recovered Items" folder.   Two folders appeared to have been created on 20th May this year (the folders have the date as the name) and all my missing folders are under here (with a few levels of hierarchy in between)

 

Why has this happened and how do I recover all the lost folders and emails?

I know I could re-create the folders manually and manually copy all the messages across, but this will take a while and should NOT be necessary. 

Is there a quick (or slightly quicker) fix?

 

I read somewhere that I should compact the messages (go to Options/Mail/Advanced/Maintenance/ Compact messages after every 1 (not the default of 100) runs.   I did that but it made no difference.

 

Can someone help please?  Thanks.

How import Notes dragged from older database and saved as html files?

02. August 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , ,
Please advise me  on how to import 1,633 html files into my current database's empty Notes folder.    I am running Outlook version 14.2.3 and Lion 10.7.4.

When I lost all Notes from my current database and rebuilding Outlook didn't help , I dragged the Notes from a 2-week-old database clone to a desktop folder where they were converted to html files.   

With the exception of the empty, current Notes part of the current database, everything else works perfectly.  I don't know how to import only  Notes without losing hundreds of new and changed Tasks, Reminders, Mail, and Contacts  that were incorporated into the current database over the past two weeks.  

Thanks very much for reading my plea for help.

Office Reminders window outside visible screen area

27. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , , , ,
I use my MacBook Pro sometimes as a laptop and other times connected to a cinema screen in my office.  I've found that if I popsition the Office Reminders window too far to the right when working on the large screen, if I then detach it and open the MacBook screen the Reminder window is so far to the right it is outside the visible area of the screen.  Othe items such as desktop icons don't seem to suffer from this problem, they adjust to the screen size and remain in the positions they were.  Is there some way to make the Reminders window do the same?

Recently upgraded iMac and now the alerts for incoming mail messages do not pop up even though the setting is checked to do so.

Outlook won’t send mail

21. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , ,
I have Outlook 2011 set up as my primary e-mail on my MacPro desktop. I recently set it up  on my laptop for traveling. The laptop account will receive mail but it won't send mail. It displays a variety of error messages like "relay not permitted".

I have tried changing the settings for the outgoing server, but nothing seems to work.

I would appreciate any advice

"Could not change to that identity"

Split From: "MAC OS X 10.7.3 and MS Outlook 2011 - "Could not change to that identity" error"

I've gotten the same Outlook error with a brand new (as of today) Mac and a brand new install of Office 11 for Mac. 

None of the solutions has helped.  I've rebuilt the database, deleted all identities, updated Office, tried Outlook with a new user account (for the Mac) and moved the Office Identities folder to the desktop. 

I still get the same error with Outlook.  All of the other applications launch OK.

Apparently, then, the issue is not with my User folder, but with the MS Office files themselves.

I can't think of anything else to do except uninstall Office and start over, or find an email client that might actually launch and work.

This is beyond extremely frustrating.
