Why don’t I have a contact list in windows live mail on my new windows 8 computer?

31. May 2014 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , ,
I have tried everything.  All of my contacts are there under people online at outlook.com.  If I start an email and start typing in the to: space it fills in the contact but there are no contact list to be able to view, change, or edit or add new.  Should I download a different mail program.  I have tried the export import nothing works.  I have saved the excel .CVC file and tried dragging it into the folder, that does not work either.  I have also gone on the people app and tried importing the contacts that way and it can't find my account, all though my password and email are correct.  I got a new window 8.1 computer. The windows live mail on my new computer is really different.  I know others are having this problem because I read it but the answers I have read don't work. 

Problem Upgrading from Windows Live 11 to Windows Live 12

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

I received an upgrade notice some months ago for windows live essentials. It automatically downloaded and installed. Now, my shortcuts to windows live 11 and messenger do not work. In fact, there are no shortcuts anywhere in my computer for windows live 12. In addition, the search feature from the start button cannot locate windows live mail, or live mail, or mail. I have, for all intents and purposes, no mail program on my computer to be found, anywhere. I'm confused by this. 

I tried a bunch of times uninstalling, reinstalling, system-uninstalling, reinstalling, offline installing, you name it. Eventually I gave up and resigned to outlook.com but I'd really like to get my mail program and the rest of live essentials working because hey--they're essentials right?

Anyone have help?

Thank you

You can not - I repeat can not export email to any other mail program - not to a TBA delimited, not to a CSV or any other than the original OLM file. Also, you can not move these olm files to another account. This is bad, bad, bad!

Using windows 8.1, my windows live mail always says it did not close properly.

 In order to reopen the mail program I have to close it first using the task manager?

I have a new computer with windows 8.  When I set it up I added my primary email account (not outlook mail) to outlook.com.  I use Outlook 13 as my mail program.  I would prefer to keep my Microsoft account but I don't want my primary mail account synced to outlook.com

Older e-mail program vs Outlook to open old mail.

08. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,

I save many e-mails that relate to my volunteer work, and I save them in regular windows folders rather than folders on the e-mail program page.

 

This has worked fine on 2 desktops using Windows XP.  I can open any of these files ending with .email or .eml if the email program that is started by clicking the envelope icon on my home MSN page.

 

However, after moving some of these files to my laptop which runs on Windows 7, trying to open one of these files brings up a wizard that wants to modify my account to use Outlook as my e-mail program. That may be fine for my laptop, but will this screw up my desktops which use XP and the older mail program which is probably just one step away from Hotmail?
