Windows Live Mail FAQ
Purchased new hard drive - technician put all data on the "Z" drive.
I copied the pst files to the "C" drive, Windows Live Mail 2012.
How do I import from the "C" drive to the various places, i.e. documents etc?
My previous email program was Windows Live Mail.
Thank you any and all.

Windows live Email program does not recognize that I have entered a group of addresses and will not send Email and states that I can not send with out an addressee. This only occurs if I have left Windows Live and run another app. I save the new email in drafts. Restart the computer go to Drafts and insert the same addressee and it will send them out normally. Only restarting the computer will allow me to send the Email using the same address as I originally inserted.
I did noted that the saved message in Drafts "To:" line blank when I open it.
I recently purchased a 64 bit computer with Windows 7 OS and Windows Live mail, and a Canon 700F scanner.
The scanner is supposed to attach scanned documents to the email program just by a push of the E-Mail buttom on the end of the unit. This fails to happen, howerver. I am fairly confident that I have properly selected the various settings and preferences on the scanner, and have also downloaded the latest drivers for the scanner.
When the attachment fails, a message pops up advising to check the mail programsettings. I have looked at the various settings, but cannot find any that I think would make a difference.
Any help in this regard would be appreciated.
Windows Live - after saving an email I CANNOT delete it. Was told to change security settings: right click on email, choose properties, choose security and change it from system to LIN. Even using Edit, it will not stay set to LIN so I can delete email. Can anyone help with that? And does anyone know another email program that is more useer friendly than Windows Live? I have found that I cannot get the answers I need easily. Their HELP section is extremely limited.
THANKS!

Hi everyone, I am new to Windows Live Mail Essentials, but was a former user of Windows Live. Unless I am doing something really wrong with WLM, it is the most cumbersome email program I have ever tried. So please, hopefully there is someone out there that an help me with my issues.
1) I have tons of email folders on the left side of the inbasket. If I want to select a folder, I scroll through the list and click on it only to have it flip me back to the inbox or to the last folder I was using and I then have to scroll back to the folder I needed. Is there a way to fix this so it remains on the selected folder the first time?
2) I imported my contacts list and also all of my email from a Vista 32bit machine where I used Windows Live to this new Windows 7 64 bit with Windows Live Mail Essentials. Nothing imported as it should. It all appeared in the 'Special Folders' section which wouldn't have been so bad if I could drag and drop those folders to appear under the Inbox at the top. I also thought I would just leave them where they were, but the folder names had changed and that would mean I have to scroll clear to the bottom each time I wanted to look in one of those folders. So I am in my second week of selecting each one, highlighting the messages within the folder (you can't move the folder and all of the emails), creating a new folder and moving the contents to that folder at the top. What a waste of time.
To make matters worse, I selected all of the email files during the export and only about half of them exported. Eeeeek. So I now have the other laptop sitting next to the new one and I am comparing what I have and don't have.
3) Is there any way I can move the 'sent', 'deleted', 'draft' 'junk email' and 'outbox' folders from the bottom to the top under the inbox? This is so cumbersome and so much scrolling.
4) Is there a true user guide or is there a help within the email program? If there is, I just haven't found it.
So you can see from my questions, this has not been a very pleasant experience. I'm really hoping someone out there can say 'you dope, here's how you do it' and it will clear up all of my questions.
Thanks so much,
