In Outlook Express using Windows XP, I had an icon which appeared in bottom right of screen if un-opened mail was in my Inbox.
Now using Windows Live Mail with Windows 8.1.
Can I get a similar icon to show?
How do I send email to groups of people in "mail" Windows 8.1, (NOT OUTLOOK, OUTLOOK EXPRESS or LIVE MAIL pleaseeeeee).
Got a new computer yesterday on Windows 7, the IT guys transferred all our emails and contacts from Outlook Express on our old computer to Windows Live Mail and it was all working perfectly. This afternoon I loaded some photos on the computer, which I then proceeded to email to myself via the windows photo viewer screen by clicking on the word 'email' at the top of the screen.
An error message came up saying it couldn't send, I tried again, same error. There are no messages in my outbox.
Now when I push send/receive it tries to send 2 messages which don't seem to exist ?? Any new test messages I create won't send either. It's like the 2 photo messages I tried to send have jammed in the works.
I have spent an hour on the phone with my email provider, Xtra, but they weren't able to help. If I send messages to myself via another computer and email programme they work, so I am pretty sure Windows Live Mail is causing the problem.
Any ideas to help with this as we don't have a phone support line I can ring in NZ.
Cheers, Stephanie

I would like my old email that was an Outlook Express account to become the email in my Windows Live Mail. How can I do this?
Moving from my Mum away from a Windows XP? desktop, I've just set up Windows Live Mail on their Windows 7 Laptop.
On Windows XP she was using Outlook Express with 2 ISP provided email addresses. (One for her and one for my Dad)
Her familiarity with Outlook Express was the one thing holding her back from not using their laptop.
With a friend she organises a Garden society and has to send regular emails to all of the members telling them what visits they're planning.
On Windows XP from Outlook Express she'd organised all of the members addresses into 5 groups with about 30 addresses in each then for privacy she'd individually send each group the mail with the group in the BCC.
She's been doing this for 4 or 5 years.
I set up a new Outlook.com mail account for her and used the Mail Migration add-on to import the emails and contacts from Outlook Express on her XP desktop into her outlook.com account.
This seemed to work fine, all of the contacts? and groups were imported into her outlook.com account.
I then installed Live Mail on their Windows 7 laptop and added her outlook.com account.
This seemed to work fine, all of the contacts and groups were imported into Live Mail.
Sending mails to individual addresses or lists of addresses seems to work fine.
The problem happens when she tries to CC or BCC her groups of contacts in the Garden Society mails.
The mails seem to be sent and there are no errors shown but no one receives anything.
I've read in other threads that there are temporary CC limits imposed on Live Mail and Outlook.com to prevent spamming. (Possibly as low as 10) ... And sending to a smaller group works OK.
There's no information about when these temporary limits are lifted or how she can prove she's not a spammer.
I understand the need to prevent Spam but this all seems somewhat overkill.
She needs to send to the groups a couple of times a month, 5 mails (one to each group) with about 30 members BCC'd in each group.
She obviously doesn't want to go through the hassle of splitting her 5 groups into 15 (with 10 in each) and sending out 15 mails every time.
A business account is not an option because no money is involved. It's just a load of OAPs who get together a few times a month and visit pretty Gardens.
Is there someway she can do this through Live Mail?
I recently switched to Windows Live Mail (from Outlook Express) for my AT&T e-mail account, which I access from my laptop as well as my Droid Razr phone.
I deleted my old e-mail account on my Razr and created it again and I do receive e-mails through Windows Live and my phone, however, they don't sync. Meaning, if I read an e-mail on my phone and delete it from my inbox, it still shows up in my Windows Live e-mail inbox and vice versa.
When I used Outlook Express, if I deleted the e-mail from my phone, it would be deleted from Outlook Express too and vice versa.
I'd like to get back to the 1 and done process so I'm not having to delete messages twice. Anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks
