What is the difference between a free msn account (which we have had for years) and a pay account?

29. December 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

 We have updated our PC from a Gateway with Windows XP  to a Dell with Windows 7 and have been unable to access our Windows Live e-mail for 2 days. (Hotmail account still works but this is not the account I use for my home business.) When calling tech support as directed by our internet provider, we are told that since we have one of the "old free accounts" there is no tech support available to us! We were directed to this site. Wow! What have we missed?

 

Server Error 3204 is given every time e-mail is checked on Windows Live Mail. The last time it worked was December 26th. Internet provider is Century Link.

My Macbook Pro is not able access shared documents on Windows server 2008.

Is there a risk downloading Live Mail on older XP machine?

08. December 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , , , , , , ,

Our home PC is older running Windows XP, as well as IE 8 with Outlook Express.

Love Outlook Express!  Our home users all use that still.

But I realize that when our old PC dies soon, we will be getting Windows 8.  I have another personal laptop running Windows 7 and IE 10, so begrudgingly getting used to Live Mail for email on that machine (and getting used to Windows 8 on my new Surface, but it has a useless mail app). 

Seems like I read a lot of problems experienced by XP systems downloading Live Mail.  And in fact, it doesn't list XP as a supported system.  But it would be nice if I could do that on our old PC, because other household users besides myself could get used to it and transfer data, before the machine dies.

Of course, I'm thinking that Live Mail can store information in the cloud, so it's easy to set up a new machine? Is that true, or is information stored only on the machine?

Anyhow, should I try and download it to XP, too much risk to bother with it?

Need a way to delete duplicate contacts

02. November 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , , , , , , , ,
I use an internet service provider (Cox Communications) for my email and the Windows 8 Windows Live Mail client (just upgraded from Windows XP and Outlook Express).   I have many duplicates in Contacts, spent hours deleting and when I logged back in, they had all returned.  I don't use Hotmail nor do I want to.  I actually keep my 'good' list of contacts in gmail as that seems to be the only thing I can figure out and which seems to work.   But I'd like to be able to delete the 5000 contacts in the Windows Live Mail Contact folder and start over.  Any solution to this?

Hotmail Contacts

I just changed my operating system from Vista to Windows XP, and the Contacts section for Hotmail looks very different.  I don't see how to find out who is in a group or how to add or delete a person from a group.

MSN Contact notification

29. October 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Messenger · Tags: , , , , , ,

I have just had a new laptop with windows 8.  I am unable to see when my MSN contacts come online, in windows XP a pop up appeared (similar to email messages) saying which contact had just signed in.  Is this something I can change.  Otherwise I don't know who is online if anyone.

 

Thank you

back up mail to alternate drive

10. October 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , , , , , , ,

 Windows XP SP 3 Dell inspiron 530 desxtop Internet Explorer 8. Hot mail Plus with Live sign in and remember windows xp so dont send a link for windows 7 as moderaters have done in past.

I want to extract emails and save them on alternate drive. Nothing I do helps and the MS links are not germane to my screen images. Not being sour but I am given an answer to refer to link and proceed from start button and nothing looks like my system. I cant understand why this is so hard. Dont even tell me to start a new email account because thats just not working. There has to be someone who has a similar need so lets earn those points and give it a little thought becase numerous answers of the same advice have been ineffective. If there is no way to do it , as I think, just say so.

In hotmail my e mails received are timed 4 hours later then actual time

Windows XP, Hotmail.  When I receive e-mails on my desk top the time is 4 hours off.  Instead of 1 PM it will be 5 PM.  The time on my desktop

is correct.

I am having trouble with sending a group contact in Windows Live Mail (2012 Version)

26. September 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , , , , , , ,

I recently moved from my old Windows XP computer using Outlook Express to  new computer with Windows 7 . I downloaded and installed Windows Live Mail 2012 version. I (apparently) successfuly migrated my OE email address book to WLM. I routinely sent group email messages to as many as 30 recipients in OE. When I tried the same group that I had successfully used a few weeks previously in OE with WLM it truncated the list of 32 and sent the message to 14. I did check through the list of 32 to make sure that the transfer had resulted in valid email addresses for all.

 

 In looking around  at various forums there was some speculation that WLM would allow no more than a group of 12. I therefore set up three new group contacts consisting of 11, 11 and 10 email addresses. When I attempted to send to all three of these new groups simultaneously a message was sent to only 13 with a distribution of 4 from group one, five from group 2 and 4 from group three. Perplexed, I tried sending to only one goup of 11. The message was sent to only 7 of the 11.  I tried another group and it sent to 8 of the 11. Finally, it would only send to 1 of the group of 10.  If I repeat the experiment for any of the three groups WLM seems to choose any old random number ranging from 1 to 8 that it will send from the group of 10 or 11. Given how long I have spent fussing around with this I could have just typed in the individual names (which I have not tried to see if there is a limit there too). But, that would defeat he idea of a group contact wouldn't it? Normal messages sent to 1 or 2 recipients seems to be working ok.

 

Does anyone have any idea as to what is going on here? Is there a limit to a contact group size with teh 2012 WLM? This really seems like a step backward from XP and OE which never gave he smallest problem with this type of thing.

 

Thanks for any suggestion you might offer.

 

Larry
