I am using Windows live mail. Version 2012 (Build 16.4.3508.0205) The operating system is Windows 7 and my default internet option is chrome.
The tab to allow me to work offline is no longer working as it should. 
I have no problems sending or receiving mail from any of my accounts. Windows live mail is generally in online mode.
The issue is that sometimes I like to work in the offline mode and the tab in the tool bar no longer works. (does not change to - go online- when activated)
The page tells me ( in the lower right corner that I am offline) but as soon as I send an e-mail it automatically goes online. If I was in offline mode then this should not happen?
How do I re-activate this option to work off-line.
Would appreciate any advice.
Thanks
