Dear team,
My Windows 7(64bit) Live Mail will not Go Online after many, many
attempts; it calls up an Error message that will not go away.
1. I am able to go online with Firefox and gmail, but Live mail locks
me out when I try there.
2. I have successfully reset the password
3. I have rebooted Live Mail many times
4. I have rebooted the computer ... mail still stays Offline
Nothing works, and I don't know how to re-instal Live Mail.
Help.
JHM
Introduction: After realizing that Office Outlook performed "poorly" with the "hotmail connector" I uninstalled it and transferred everything related to Hotmail over to Live Mail - that is after i decided to re-try Live Mail again. While Live Mail
imported folders, emails and accounts w/settings from Office Outlook virtually flawlessly, it did not import my address book with contacts. To this end I manually exported them from Outlook into a cvs file and then imported that cvs file in Live Mail and an
address book filled with contacts was created in Live Mail.
Problem: However, those contacts in the Address Book are not showing up when I create a New Mail Message in Live Mail. With the Live Mail Address Book Open i can see a listing of my contacts. But when I flip over to the blank email message and click the "to" button, the contact list is blank. Clicking around that blank contacts dialog window trying to find a method to select or link the address book is helpful as well. It is though the address book and the contacts are 2 separate sub-programs in Live Mail. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I don't recall why i gave up Live Mail a couple of years ago, but perhaps this is one of the annoying quirks that annoys the **** out of us.
Solution 1 - Incidentally, i don't use messenger so its connection is disable in Live Mail at this time.
Solution 2 - Repair Live mail resulted in no change.
Thanks for any suggestions or solutions (or opinions).
ps: I am impressed that Live Mail works much "MUCH" better for hotmail than Office Outlook. I almost lost all of my data in Outlook several times, but if it were not for system restore that saved them (and my sanity).
Office Outlook works much better and appears stable now without any connections to Hotmail.

After Live Mail decided it wanted to rebuild my email database, all the email messages now have a " or < in front of the TO: or FROM: name, which prevents me from sorting alphabetically and hitting "f" for instance. In this instance there were many thousands
of emails affected, so I had to start over and import my Outlook Express emails again.
The 2nd time this happened was only for a few new emails in my inbox and new sent items, so I wouldn't mind manually fixing these one by one. Is there any way to fix these emails?
When the error happened Live Mail created a copy of the email. In this original email in the message pane is this error message:
Message cannot be found
The contents of this message cannot be found.
Windows Live Mail
The email copy does have the original correct message in the message pane, yet Live Mail altered the FROM: name. It puts " " (quotes) before and after the name and also included the full email address. In other words the original FROM: name was "Anthony" and the altered FROM: name was
"Anthony" <*** Email address is removed for privacy ***>
The problem this creates is if later on I want to sort alphabetically all the emails in my Inbox, it will sort the emails with " " like "Anthony" in a different spot than the Anthony without quotes.

I am using windows 7 and Live Mail. I have found that whenever I attempt to access the contacts, whether to add to an email, or to just try and delete or edit my contact list, this causes the program to freeze up and become unresponsive. I have lost several long email compositions because of this and it is very frustrating. I have followed some links and tried deleting the contact cache without success as far as fixing the problem. I have also unassociated social media, such as facebook, with Live Mail with negative results. Please help with this frustrating situation.
I am thankful that HOTMAIL still exists. Windows Live Mail doesn't seem to have a capability for reporting Phishing Scams. I don't know what you do with these often stupidly-constructed attempted frauds in HOTMAIL when we label them and they vanish, but it's comforting to know that less cognisant "Dear Beneficiary" or "Congratulations, you've won the Lottery" recipients might be protected from sending their personal details to these evil liars.
If it's a known company, I always try to alert them. My own bank insists on messages pretending to come from it being copied or Forwarded to their security website [and somehow, the scammers cloned one of this bank's actual web security addresses!].
As to Live, am I missing something? All the Web Help is for HOTMAIL.
Since the last update, Windows Live Mail will NOT go online regardless of what I do while it is open. If I send myself an email for testing, and then close Live Mail it will ask if I want to send it, ask if I want to go online and it will connect just
to send that one email. HELP!!
I have windows live email and also have bigpond email attached as well, problem is I am not receiving any email into my live mail account, can someone please help?
System is Vista Home Premium 32 bit. Have tried exporting to Windows Live mail - nothing appears. Cannot find how to import contacts to Widows Live Mail. HELP!
Any one aware of a conflict between the latest KB2670838 patch for Windows 7 / Live Mail 2012 and the Nvidia 307 driver?
Running a Geforce 7300 LE card on a Dell Dimension E520 desk top with Win 7, Live Mail 2012 and if I try and apply the K2670838 patch in conjunction with the Nvidia 307 driver my desktop in Live Mail turns black. The message pane and preview pane remain white but all the surround is black.
Rolling these both back removes the problem.
Regards
Jeremy
I have Windows 7 and Windows Live Mail. After an overnight update by MS, my Live Mail, when opened, has a solid black background for the left column which has my various accounts and organizational folders. I can no longer read the text there since the background was white before.
I cannot find anywhere how to change this background color. HELP!
