Why does my Messenger icon keeps disappearing from my Taskbar?

13. November 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Messenger · Tags: , , , , , , ,

I have been using Live email for about 2 months now and only use Messenger so I am alerted to new email. This morning I logged into Windows Messenger from the taskbar, it logged me in, alerted me to my emails but when I clicked on it it vanished from the screen and from the taskbar. I went into Start menu and clicked on Messenger, logged on, it alerted me to my emails, then vanished etc etc. So I went into my email page via www.live.co.uk and it tells me I am logged onto Meseenger and listed some friends that were also logged on, but I cant get the Messenger screen/list up? I havent changed any settings - and have stried to click onto the menu to look at my settings but Messenger justs vanished!

Any help would be good - I'm not great with computers though :-(

 

Thanks

Management of Windows Live Mail – Windows Essentials 2012 – Windows 8 Pro (64)

11. November 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , , , , , ,

Hi

 

Having upgraded to Windows 8 Pro 64 bit, I have discovered that I have limited control of my options, in Windows Live Mail (Essentials 2012 version)!

 

Prior to the upgrade, and with the 2011 version of WLM, I was able, through the Options facility to select certain actions, such as:

 

"Send/Receive on Start up!

and

Delete messages from the deleted folder on close down!

 

The Options Tab, which allowed these choices, was on the tool bar, at the top of the window, just below, and just to the left of the Close Window X!

 

This facility does not appear on the current 2012 version!

 

I would appreciate any advice on this matter

 

At the moment, I have to manually select Send/Receive, and manually delete old messages

group contacts

I have a group in Windows Live Mail. I want to add a new address.  When I open the group (Start,user name, select contact, find the group .....) and add the contact it gets added.  But..........when I then go back to  Windows Live Mail and access that Group name it has not been changed.

Also if I try to add a new contact the same thing occurs.  It's in the contact file but not in Windows Live.  Must be I'm missing a step some where?

It worked once, and two days later, which was about a week ago. It stopped working again, and I repeated this process to see If I could fix it again. But it failed to work a second time. I really need help with this... Thanks.

How do I send an email to a group from within Windows Live Mail 2011?

01. June 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , , ,
I have created a group using instructions from on-line.  (Start, User, Contacts, new group)  I am allowed to create the group and I click OK.  From within Windows Live Mail I can not find the group in my contacts list.  If I do a search of my computer it finds the lists so it is there.  It has an extension of .group.  How do I get this new group into my Windows Live Mail and sent email to it?
