why does windows-live junk filter not recoginize the words "PENIS" "VIAGRA" "ENLARGEMENT" "BIGGER" "****" etc. and prevent 10-30 junk e-mails per day. I have checked and it is not the fault of my ISP. thank you
My windows email suddenly will not send. I called the ISP and they walked me through the programming, and it was already set the way it was supposed to be, and still it will not send. I called them again and they said the only thing it could be is the antivirus firewall interfering and that I should disable the firewall. That does not make sense, the antivirus firewall has been there and it sent, nothing has changed on the computer except for the fact that now my windows email will not send. I have to go to the ISP website to do my email, which is ok but I do not like having things not work, and I want my windows email to work, I prefer using it than the ISP website email. Help please. Thank you.    

Have been trying to get this fixed for months.  ISP is Xtra, Nz who have checked all my settings.   Webmail works OK but not Windows Live Mail.  What do I do next. Uninstall & reinstall?    Trilby1

 

 I can receive, but not send.  It has worked in the past, but I can't pinpoint any incident that may have caused a problem.  I contacted my ISP (Cox Communications) and we checked my settings.  Everything is correctly set up with regard to my SMTP address, etc.  They told me it was a Windows Live problem.  When I attempt to send, the message sits in my outbox for several minutes and then I receive the following error message: 

 A time-out occurred while communicating with the server. 

Subject 'test mail' 

Server 'smtp.cox.net'

Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC19 

Protocol: SMTP Port: 25 

Secure(SSL): Yes

When I tried to delete e-mail from my Junk e-mail folder in Window Live Mail 2011, I got the message "An unknown error has occurred". I deleted one message via my ISP (Shaw.ca) on-line webmail program but this message was still appearing in my on-line Junk E-mail folder in Windows Live Mail even after I re-started Windows Live Mail.

I checked \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Shaw (PaulA 758\Junk E-mail folder and it was empty.

I tried repairing Windows Live Mail via Control Panel\Programs and Features\Windows Live Essentials 2011\Repair but the message headings were still in the Windows Live folder.

I tried going off-line to delete the messages but I still got the "An unknown error has occurred" message.

I suspected that the actual messages may have been deleted from the \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Shaw (PaulA 758\Junk E-mail folder during disk clean-up.


I then:

  • Backed up my e-mail
  • Reinstalled Windows Live Essentials
  • Restored the e-mail backup

The database is now corrupt:

  • The folder tree is not the same as prior to the backup/restore
  • In some of the sub-folders, the To, From and Subject appear to be correct in WLM but clicking on on each of the e-mails in this folder opens the same message

I am using Windows 7. Any assistance would be appreciated.
