Windows Live mail stopped working out of the blue yesterday.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled windows essentials 2012.  When I try to open mail I immediately get an error box "Window Live Mail has stopped working."  Same error message popped up before and after reinstalling.  No clue what to do from here.
I use Windows Live Mail 2011 with Windows 7 (64 Bit) and am considering upgrading to Windows Essentials 2012.  I don't want to lose all my email account settings etc  and am wondering if Essentials 2012 will instal over the top of 2011 and will carry forward all account settings and emails etc..  Any advice, please?
I recently upgraded from Windows Live Essentials to Windows Essentials 2012.  Now I can NOT seem to find out how to search/find an old message (i.e. by sender, recipient, subject, content, etc.).  I see the FIND button, but it only shows the TEXT search;  The "message" portion is greyed out and does NOT work.  Step by step, how do I access the message search box/feature?

Also, how do I accessmy CONTACTS for editing and the creation of groups?  In the old WLM version it had a "GO TO" menu.  I can't find a way to get to my CONTACTS list do the group management in 2012.

Your help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

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

I have Windows Essentials 2012 and my contacts in messenger see me as offline but we can still type to each other. When they post a comment in my messenger window it shows like an offline messege with the time above it. They are appearing online to me. This has been happening for the last few days and I have done 2 repairs trying to fix it with no luck. I am running Windows 7 if that helps. Can anyone give me any help with this?

I just upgraded my old Compaq Presario from XP to Windows 7.  I can't seem to install Windows Essentials 2012.  I download the install exe, but when I run it (as administrator) it does nothing, or it asks if I want to Reinstall.  In either case, nothing happens.  No error messages, nothing,  CPU usage and memory usage are low.  Ram is 2GB, processor is 2 GHz, plenty of HDD space,

 

I tried turning Windows Firewall of and MSE real time off.  I ran disk cleanup as recommended.  I rebooted. Nothing seems to help.

 

Any suggestions?
