View 4 Replies View RelatedI have upgraded from Windows Mail to Live Windows Mail and have imported my emails and contacts. The contacts have worked ok but I cannot find any of my imported emails. I have looked in the storage folders and imported folders as well as all other folders but there is no sign of any of my emails.

However recently this has changed back to Microsoft Outlook for no particular reason. Checked all the defaults and they all point to Thunderbird still being the default program for email. Under file associations, have checked that for protocols, SENDTO is set to Thunderbird. However the "E-mail" button still now brings up Outlook. How can I change this back. It's very frustrating and I've played around for a good long while.
After installing Office 2003 on a Dell 1330 with Vista Home Premium, the default mail tool changed, of course, from Thunderbird to Outlook. I uninstalled Outlook, and the default email tool changed to Windows Mail. I have tried using the Default Programs control panel and other means to change the default email tool back to Thunderbird, to no avail. Each time it starts it asks me whether I want Thunderbird to be the default. Each time I click yes, but the setting doesn't hold.
I have gone through all the usual steps to define Thunderbird as the default. In Windows Mail, the option to change it so that it is not the default is mysteriously grayed out. how to get around this? Windows Mail seems more like a virus to me than a legitimate piece of software. It doesn't even show up in the list of Windows services, so I can't even turn it off! What's so weird about this is that it all worked fine until I installed Office 2003 ... now, I can't change the default mail tool.
When trying to post to newsgroups, such as this one, with a graphic =
attachment such as a .GIF file, Windows Mail is incapable to post. =
Thunderbird posts it like a champ.
I'm running Vista Ultimate.
pst files and every time it defaults to adobe?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am being forced to use this tacky Windows Live mail program (coz I want to open attachments after IE8!), I have installed it and as I would expect from a Microsoft install it didn't go smoothly!
After quite some period of time the install program announced that it could not import my contacts - probably the most important aspect of my mail program!
It tells me to do so manually, with no instruction how to of course. I am merely told to point the program in the direction of my Winmail address book.
How do I get my address book to show up in my Vista Email? I have put my email addresses from my old comp into my new Vista syst. and windows mail and they are stored as contacts list. They do not show up when I try to send an email from Windows Mail. I have to go to the list, copy it and place it in the send message myself. I have tried to import this list into the windows mail and it won't do it.

i really want my default e-mail server to be set up to something that works. and i do not want to go back to using my yahoo account.
I've been using Windows live mail for some time now and I like it, it works great!! I've ad it set-up to read all in one place all my different e-mail accounts, I've got 3 hotmails, one g-mail and another different one. I just changed my Laptop, still got my old one as a back-up, and WLM was already installed on it and it's a newer version then what I ad, the latest version I think. I would like to know how can I import all my contacts, all my different e-mail accounts set-up, my save e-mails, etc without having to start all over again and enter everything manually, because I've got a lot of stuff in there.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having problems importing contacts into Vista Contacts. I tried 2 things :
1/ LDIF
I exported my contacts in Thunderbird under an LDIF format.
I then imported this LDIF file within Contacts
The import stops 1/5 of the way, simply saying that there is an error
in the contacts, and it stays stuck
2/ CVS
I exported my contacts in Thunderbird under a CVS file. I then tried to import the file within Contacts but cannot do the mapping:
- all column headings are lumped together, with plenty of ","
- all accentuated caracters are replaced by squares
Also, with the LDIF method, 50 contacts out of 300 were imported. In these imported contacts, all accentuated caracters were replaced by symbols. I opened the CVS file in Microsoft Excel: everything is fine.
I've had no luck at the Thunderbird forum. And this is one of those situations I find it hard to believe I'm inventing the wheel. Surely others have tackled this one. I tried one more measure this morning after googling around a bit: I told Vista to search hidden files and folders. But it still isn't finding my Thunderbird emails. A few days ago someone suggested going to microsoft and looking for an add-in or plugin. I didn't find anything there searching "thunderbird."
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been trying for a few days to set up a group mail list but keep getting
an individual error message back for each address on the list (5.1.1 - Bad
destination email address 'invalid domain "": no dot found') I have made
individual contacts of each person thati wish to send to (as despite what the
help file says about clicking the toolbar and choosing "group" all I ever
have available to me is the individual contacts. I then put all of these
contacts in one named directory in the contacts folder but this folder is not
available to me when I go to send a new EMail.
I am using Vista/ Windows Mail with no issues for a year or so and recently I can no longer send email. There is no error message but I looked into it a little closer after not getting replies from several email I had sent out. The email go into my out box and appear to leave as normal when sent. I have tried emptying my out box, checked all settings with my ISP, and read a lot of post with out seeing anything else to try.
