I recently migrated to a new laptop and imported my old Outlook 6 messages to Windows Mail Live. I then compacted. I was able to use Windows Live normally, send and receive messages, etc., for about a day. The next time I closed Windows Mail Live, it started a process showing a box that says "Making a backup copy of the current database . . ."
That was 2.5 days ago. It still says it is backing up, the disk is still running constantly, the computer is slow, and I cannot open Windows Mail Live to access my messages.
I have a good-sized email database (about 10G in Outlook 6), but I am concerned that (a) something is wrong, and the backup will never finish, or (b) it could be days or weeks before it finishes and I am again able to access my messages via Windows Live Mail.
Can I safely stop the back-up process? Is it normal for it to take so long? (I have a 7200 disk, and a three-month old Dell XPS15 with 8G RAM, so I doubt it is a speed-of-hardware issue.) Also, how can I set settings so that backups in the future are less long or done less frequently?
I am using Windows 7 Home Premium. Windows Mail Live updated as of October 1, 2012. Dell XPS15 laptop.
Thanks in advance.
I have recieved an e:mail supposedly from the Windows Live team asking me to enter all my details and password
I am dubious about its origin can someone confirm if this info request is genuine or not

My contact's picture has disappeared from my window on Windows Messenger Live and we cannot retrieve it. Both our pictures show up on my contact's window, but only mine shows up in my window. How do we get it back?
