How do I configure Windows Live Mail to NOT delete mail from the server?

22. May 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , ,

I use an iPhone to send and receive my Windows Live Mail with no problems and it is configure to NOT delete mail from server and works perfectly.

I now have an iPad and cannot configure a mail client in the same way. When i setup a new mail client selecting 'other' and configure my POP3 and SMTP settings the same as on my iPhone there is no longer an option under 'Incoming Mail' which allows me to check 'Delete from server' - NEVER so everytime I delete a mail item using my iPad it deletes it from the server?

Contacted Apple Support and they point to mail provider???? Please help.

The same messages fail to appear in 2nd email client

26. March 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,

Hello,

I have 1 laptop (w7x64 home premium) and 1 desktop (w7x64 pro) with the same email client (wlm 2012) and the same server.

After the downloads sometimes the message(s) is(are) missing in the other computer. In theory the two mail client should contain the same messages, shouldn't it?

What is the explanation and how to correct it?

Thank you

windows live mail bugged to ****

26. February 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , ,

ok so i like the idea of windows live and its services. i find the email client to be one of the best ones.......when its working! i had a windows live update yesterday and ever since the mail client is not working telling me i am not connected to the net. however this only happens when trying to retrieve mail from live.com.au or outlook.com. this is not the first time this has happened. live mail has been bugged from the start and the only reason i stick with it is because i like it WHEN IT WORKS!

and before you all start saying edit your registry and delete your account details and renter them and turn your cords around and do a rain dance i have done all that already.

windows live 2012! try bringing things to 2014.

come on microsoft lift your game!

so i guess my question is what is a good email client that i can use to link all my emails together from live, outlook, yahoo, gmail and ISP pop server?

How to Disable Skydrive and Windows Picture Gallery when sending pictures via Right Click > email process

13. February 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: ,

Somehow in the last week I have lost the ability to send pictures via Windows live email client. Prior to this week I would select a few pictures I wanted to email, then right click>email and I could choose the size of the pictures. The pics would then be added to my email as attachments and I would hit send.

 

However when I do the exact same process as I have been doing for the last 3 years soemthing has changed.  After I right click and select e-mail the mail client opens up and a small window appears prompting me to log into windows live and there some mention of skydrive and picture gallery. I don't have an account, I don't want to use skydrive or picture gallery. If I close that window without logging in and hit send in the email window the email fails to send and gets stuck in my outbox.  The mail client will tell me when I try shutting down the client that I have unsent mail and so I want to send it. When I say yes nothing happens.

 

I am looking to return my laptop to the original way it used to send pictures via the right click method as it allows me to resize pictures for those with small displays plus it is a very fast method of sending pics.

 

I am using Windows Live Mail 2011.

 

Thanks alot for the help!

Smtp Authentication – Outlook 2011

03. January 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,

Our company using a local hosting service, everything seems ok until we try to send a mail to a customer which its server needs "requires authentication before sending mail from a locally hosted domain"

---------------------------------------------------error log---------------------------------------------------------

the full error log is; <x@x.com>: host xhost.com [xx.xx.xx.x]

   said: 551 This mail server requires authentication before sending mail from

   a locally hosted domain. Please reconfigure your mail client to

   authenticate before sending mail. (in reply to MAIL FROM command)

Reporting-MTA: dns; smtp.mymailserver.com

---------------------------------------------------error log---------------------------------------------------------


So, problem and solution is clear. I need to provide "My Outgoing Server needs SMTP Authentication" just as Windows based Outlook. But in Mac based Outlook there s no option for this. After Google research;


What i tried;


- Outlook>Tools>Accounts>More Options ; 

Authentication : User Name and Password Selected

User : *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

Password : Ok

Unqualified Domain : Left it Blank.


Nothing Changed. 


- Trying different ports 25, 587 exc. Nothing Changed. SMTP login failed also. Only works with 587.

- Trying to sent with SSL or without SSL on Outgoing Server. Nothing Changed. No difference.

- Trying to send mail 3 different clients. Apple Mail, Outlook 2011 and Mozilla Thunderbird. Nothing Changed.

- Trying to login with different username as; myusername or *** Email address is removed for privacy ***. Nothing Changed.

- Trying to send with free email clients like gmail, hotmail exc. It works! But we cant send email via these services to our customers of course.


I m run out of ideas, ma i find a bug or solution is still out there? Any ideas will be very welcomed.




Mail Client won’t send as Outlook Alias.

09. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , , ,
I have:
Outlook.com account with 1 alias (I didn't come from hotmail) 
Apple Mail desktop client.
iPhone
 
In the past my desktop mail client allowed me to check mail individually from different addresses from gmail, yahoo, etc. and reply from that same address via a drop down menu.  I'm guessing because of the structure of an alias vs. linked accounts though this has not been the case for outlook.com.

When I select to send from my alias address in the desktop mail client it sends and shows that it sends from the alias address.  But when I go to outlook.com and check it actually never sends from my alias address as it should, but it sends from my primary address.  It's really confusing for customer service people who have multiple cases open for me because of the different email addresses showing up.

Would someone be able to provide a workaround for this?  Right now the alias setup vs. the linked account setup is becoming more of a pain to work with my desktop client and my phone.

Thanks a ton for your help!

I run Outlook 365 under windows 8 as my mail client on a PC for 3 mail accounts (gmail, yahoo and btinternet).  My mail all works fine on my iphone 5 and ipad, but I cannot get the Outlook calendar entries to appear on either I-device.  I have checked all settings, but cannot see what is wrong.

Cannot type email address on Mail Client

26. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: ,

Hi.  We've upgraded to Windows 8 and have downloaded Windows Live Mail. Emails transferred over without a problem. HOWEVER, we have lost the capability of typing in email addresses and system pulling up all previous addresses, or indeed remembering after typing them in.  Is there a setting we have overlooked but cannot find?

Problem with mail flow from hotmail.com servers

25. July 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,
We are having mail flow from hotmail.com servers to valecohomes.com.au.  The emails look to be failing through to the A record or using old DNS data.

I have no idea if the forum will help but have been referred here as the only avenue for support.

MX records were updated recently and point to valid servers.  Previous MX records had mail.valecohomes.com.au as a backup server but it was never configured to accept email fro the domain which was why it was removed.

A record valecohomes.com.au and mail.valecohomes.com.au:
206.217.137.18

Sending an email from hotmail intermittently fails with the following error:

Reporting-MTA: dns;bay0-omc4-s8.bay0.hotmail.com
Received-From-MTA: dns;BAY177-W38
Arrival-Date: Wed, 24 Jul 2013 17:13:51 -0700

Final-Recipient: rfc822;*** Email address is removed for privacy ***
Action: failed
Status: 5.5.0
Diagnostic-Code: smtp;550-Please turn on SMTP Authentication in your mail client, or login to the
550-IMAP/POP3 server before sending your message. 
550-bay0-omc4-s8.bay0.hotmail.com [65.54.190.210]:30043 is not permitted to
550 relay through this server without authentication.

I can reproduce the error by setting up a telnet session to their web hosting server listed on the A record and trying to send an email to it.  After the RCPT TO command it fails with the exact same message (spacing) which to me shows it is going through to the wrong server:

220-server1.austrodns.net ESMTP Exim 4.80.1 #2 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 10:28:42 +1000

220-We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicited,

220 and/or bulk e-mail.

HELO 14-202-4-187.static.tpgi.com.au

250 server1.austrodns.net Hello 14-202-4-187.static.tpgi.com.au [14.202.4.187]

MAIL FROM: xxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx

250 OK

RCPT TO: *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

550-Please turn on SMTP Authentication in your mail client, or login to the

550-IMAP/POP3 server before sending your message.

550-14-202-4-187.static.tpgi.com.au [14.202.4.187]:12383 is not permitted to

550 relay through this server without authentication.



Since the MX records are correct in the DNS I have no idea how to troubleshoot any further with Hotmail admins.  Unfortunately, being the IT support for the company, it is reflecting badly on us even though it looks to be Hotmail's problem, as far as we can tell.

I can no longer log into my ISP’s mail without logging out of my Hotmail account because they use Outlook for their mail client.

I can no longer log into my ISP's mail without logging out of my Hotmail account because they use Outlook for their mail client.  I used to be able to swap between them with great ease.  Why was this feature removed?  It makes little sense.

The constant logging in and out is awful, how do I get my ISP to use Google mail instead?
