I converted to Outlook (did not rename my account) and added an Outlook alias. When I send mail from my Live account, I don't see a way to set the default 'From Email ID' as my Outlook alias. I can set the reply to as the alias, but not the from ID. Is there some way to do this without renaming the account? I have a windows phone and don't want to go through all the stuff to reset the phone and put everything back on it somehow.
How do I get larger mail capacity, please ?
attachments(e-mail addresses and "read more") will not open and I get an error "application not found" This has just happened and I don't think I have changed anything.

I asked about ungrouping e-mails by conversation, which microsoft apparently automatically did to my hotmail when they forced me to upgrade to Internet Explorer 8:

My saved emails are chained together if they are forwarded or replies. How do I unchain them?

Hi,

 

It is possible that your Conversation threading feature is enable. Please be informed that in Conversation Threading, it’s easier to find the email you’re looking for by customizing your Hotmail inbox view. Just group together messages based on conversation, date, subject, and size.

When you sort by conversation, you can find multiple messages from different people on the same subject. That way you can view them all together and not miss an important response. 

 

If you want to disable this feature, please refer to the steps below.

 

1. Login to your Hotmail Inbox.
2. Click Gear Icon - More mail settings
3. Under Reading email, choose Group by conversation and pre-loaded messages
4. Under Conversation settings, Click button beside Show messages individually to disable conversation setting.
5. Click Save.

To know more about conversation threading, please refer to this
solution article.

Thanks!

I don't see a gear icon.  "Options" doesn't have more mail settings.
 
But the e-mail wasn't delivered.

the font on my hotmail inbox has suddenly shrunk, as has the folder font size, it has shrunk to 10.          I have managed to change the e mail font  I compose and signature back to a reasonable size but how do I change the main page and file name fonts back to decent size??  please could someone help?

I get minimum of 20 plus per day and wish to get rid of them and block them. I can do it in Outlook with the sweep putton but in Livemail I'm lost

Please help me

I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8 over the weekend.  I was forced to do a PC refresh and re-install Windows 8 a second time in order for it to work on my laptop.  I find now that the PC refresh erased my Contacts from Windows Live Mail that I was using on Windows 7.  I am able to recover the Contacts files from my online backup prior to the upgrade.  But is there a way for me to import them into the People app or at least to open the file to get the info to manually add some of my contacts into people?  I have lost some important email addresses that I did not have stored elsewhere.  They were backed up.....
