I have set windows live mail to empty deleted emails on exit.  I have a couple of IMAP accounts and a POP3 account.  Although my Hotmail/Outlook account set up on windows live mail when I logged into it from the WLM interface so I am not sure if it is POP3 or IMAP but it behaves like IMAP.   The feature to delete emails on exit from the deleted folders  via options - mail - advance is not working with IMAP nor Hotmail/Outlook but seems okay with POP3. To delete from my IMAP accounts and Hotmail/Outlook I have to sign into them and then delete directly from the server.  Should I not be able to delete them with Windows live mail via options - mail - advance - empty deleted items folder on exit as Windows live mail signs into these accounts.  Forgive me if I am wrong but I am not an advance computer user. 

I have also stopped receiving the " No new messages received" when I check to download them if there aren't any is this because I have stopped feeds?

At C:, Users, Name, AppData, Local, Microsoft, Windows Live Mail, Storage Folders: I have some duplicate folders. These duplicate folders have the same name as other ones, but with a (1) added. Some others are duplicated in a folder named "Imported Folders". How can I get rid of these duplicates? And, how can I keep WLM from creating them again when I open the program?  

Hi Carissa,

I recently had to change my Hard Drive due to a malfunction, and  since the change has been made I have been unable to use Microsoft Live Mail. I keep getting the error code flag up when I try to open the program. 

Your calendar contains corrupt data that are forcing Windows Live Mail to close. (0x8E5E0247)

Please can you help to suggest a way to resolve this?

I've already uninstalled then reinstalled the program as you suggested above.

Thanks 

Lee

I have been using Windows Live Mail for years and would prefer to continue doing so.

I recently changed internet providers which necessitated the change to  a web based email address.

I chose MS Outlook as I thought it would be compatible with my other MS products. It seems not so which is very frustrating. My address list is extensive.

Any help appreciated. Thanks

I did a "Program Compatibility Troubleshooter"  on my PC.  the results were that Windows Live Mail is not compatible with my PC.  How can that be the case when I am operating with Windows 8.1 Pro and 600 GB of memory?  Can I fix this problem?

Thank you.

Due to sending issues with my aol and gmail accounts, I uninstalled and reinstalled Windows Live Mail.  Gmail was set up ok but aol will not.  I keep getting a message indicating that the aol server has unexpectedly terminated the connection.

My individual aol account is working fine.

I have set the incoming server to imap 993 and the outgoing to smtp 587.  Why do I continue to have problems.  I have a Gateway NE 722 laptop with Windows 8.1 Pro.

Thanking you for any assistance you can give me.

Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800488E5

and I have lost all my contacts.
