I have a fresh Vista machine and this is my first time using Vista. When I start Windows Mail, which seems to work fine, I eventually have to shut down 3 series of popup windows having to do with the installation of Microsoft Outlook 2007, which I do not want installed because, apparently, the version which came with my Vista Home Premium OEM is trial only and I can only start it a limited number of times before it expires (as I found out when I opened Word). In any case, I checked, and Windows Mail is set as my standard default program for email and newsgroups; I cannot make it the default because it already is. Does anyone know what is going on and what I must do to correct things?
Is there a web page that I could use to import the folders in my Windows Mail to Outlook 2007 somewhere? I am not sure what to do with the Import feature, what to choose, etc.
I am trying to set up Windows mail to read my Microsoft Office Live mail. Has anyone done this? All I get is that I need Outlook, but Windows mail says it replaces Outlook,, but the steps I have taken do not work per the e-mail I received from Microsft Office via an e-mail I sent from the site.
I got a new computer last year and it has Windows vista. That has Windows mail. My ISP is verizon but I don't have an email aaccount for verizon. The email address I get by defaut on Windows mail is Yahoo.com. I have no idea what the POP3 and SMTP are for my Windows mail account. I tried incoming.verizon.net which is verizon's POP3 and outgoing.verizon.net which is verizon's SMTP but nothing works. Some retarded error always comes up. This is the latest one: Subject 'blood', Account: 'incoming.verizon.net', Server: 'outgoing.verizon.net', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '250 SIZE 20971520', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): Yes, Server Error: 250, Error Number: 0x800CCC7D from when I sent an email.
The thing about that is that i am using Wi-Fi. So i don't think that i am able to get that info...Is there anything i can do? You can get all of the email account setup information from your emailprovider, usually your ISP (Internet Service Provider). They should have a webpage on their support site for how to setup and email account in Outook Express with full instructions on how to do it. Windows Mail uses the same settings. If you can tell us who your email provider is, someone should be able to post a link to their email account setup instructions webpage for you.
How do I set up Windows Mail from my home computer.I'm not able to go any further as I'm not sure where to find the POP or whatever the code I need is.Am I even eligable to have a microsoft account?
I downloaded windows live mail to fix a problem that Adobe would not send photos. After installing the software (live mail) Adobe msg. is: NEW INTERNET ACCOUNT NOT SET UP). I CAN NOT FIND any account every where I have looked. For example. Start, All Programs, then click on windows live and then click windows Live Mail. the click Tools and accounts. It do not have any account and DO not know where or how to setup an account and associate it Adobe to sen pictures.
I am trying to boot from one of my Setup Partitions. i am trying to boot from a partition containing Windows Xp 64-bit Install Files and later a partition with Windows 7 Install Files. i have deleted all the Setup Partitions except the Windows Xp one which is being a Bi*ch and won't allow me to delete it.
1. Created ISO Image Windows Xp and downloaded Windows 7 build 7100
2. In Disk Management Shrink 2 Volumes on main HDD with OS (Vista) 1 being Setup Files Shrink to 700MB and OS shrink too 7GB
3. Opened cmd and input diskpart, list volume, select volume y (Setup Xp), active, exit, then xcopy Etc.
when i rebooted i would get a bootmgr missing error and thus using my Windows Vista disc to repair. i have be doing something wrong here as i am still new to this dual booting stuff.
my ISP is Charter, but I do not use charter for my email. I use AOL. My parents have AOL and I have a screen name that I use b/c I have had that email for years. I am trying to set up my Windows Mail (I think this is basically outlook???) I typed in my pop3/smtp and so on. It then prompted me to log in so windows could verify and proceed on. Well, I did my AOL screenname and password and it is not working. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I just can't seem to get my AOL mail into outlook so I can use just outlook.
How do I get the autocomplete feature to work on WMail like it does in Outlook? When I create email using Send To and start typing in the TO block, it will recognize two or three of the addresses in my address book but not the whole list of A's, B's, or whatever. When I do same in Outlook, it autocompletes until the correct address comes up.
I understand that Outlook has been replace by Windows Mail. I have a new computer and it has WM. The old computer had Outlook, I copied folders with messages onto an external hard drive. How do I get the old messages and contacts into the new WM on the new computer?
I have been trying to setup Outlook as my default mail client. (Why is this so hard?) Anyway, before doing so I was wondering if there is any value to keeping and using Windows mail. I really want to transfere all my information over to my new PC. I have been an Outlook guy for a while and have alot of information that I don't want to loose. Is there any benifit with windows mail?
I've just upgraded to a new pc with vista and windows mail from Xp & outlook express (with virgin). To save my files and emails etc I used windows easy transfer software and copied the files to an external hard drive and then loaded it to the new PC. I initially had problems as my modem didn't install but virgin sent me a wireless connector and all seemed OK. However, when I click on send/receive mail I get an error message 'some errors occured while processing the requsted tasks - please see details below.' But there are no details! I have 3 email addresses.
If I click on the little arrow next to send/rec and then click on each email separately there is no problem. Equally, if I click on 'receive all' there is no problem. When I click on send/rec the first time I open windows mail there is no problem, but thereafter always the error message. I've had Virgin remotely controlling the pc for 90 minutes and they can't suss it!
Also, bizarrely at the top of the page it says inbox - outlook express provided by virgin net even though I appear to be running windows mail (it certainly isn't the usual outlook I have on my old pc). Did I inadvertently load outlook as well as my emails on top of windows mail and they've kind of merged?
I've been getting by with Windows Mail for a while, but miss Outlook from when I last had it. Windows Mail just seems so slow and klugy by comparison--and the Calendar is also usable, but annoying. What do you all think? Outlook worth the investment for someone who is a heavy user with their own business?
When my laptop updated yesturday it replaced my outlook with windows mail. It did not ask me if I wanted this. ALL my contacts are gone, as well as ALL the appointments on my calander. Why did this happen, and more important how do I get my contacts back.
Im trying to import my mail folders/messages from Window Mail to Outlook. In Outlook, I choose, File, Import, Import from another file/program, Windows mail. Outlook finds old mail files (from Outlook express) and imports them perfectly. Problem is they are not my windows mail files. I dont know where outlook is looking for the files or how to find the outlook files to delete them and move the windows mail files to where Outlook is looking.
I use Outlook, (not Outlook Express) and am gearing up to send a work-related HTML newsletter from my personal PC. It looks like I need to do this through Windows Mail. My question: after I configure the ingoing and outgoing mail servers for Windows Mail, will this disable my Outlook functionability? In other words, I'd like to know before I go any further whether or not I can use both Windows Mail and Outlook on my PC (using Vista, Home Premium). I want to keep all my personal emailing intact in Outlook, and only use Windows Mail to send the work-related newsletter.
MSN 9 - (I use this as my main email - waiting for live and hotmail to get stable) to windows mail - will not allow me to do this - message pops up stating that outlook express could not be found - I looked all over for outlook express to download it and can not find it anywhere, or would not let me download - went to Office Depot trying to buy but could not....I have only found problems with windows mail - does not function like outlook express.
I just got a new laptop that doens't have MS Outlook. I want to transfer my .pst files from my old computer to my new one but it doesn't seem to work. If Windows Mail won't accept any .pst files - is there another Mail program that might (for free or affordable price)?
I am quite amazed that you have not been able to make a better product than Windows Mail as a replacement for Outlook Express. On 7/3/2007 6:10 PM PST Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM" wrote in a related discussion: Why do you have to make life difficult for the users? When I check the box "Automatically complete e-mail addresses when composing, I'd expect more than just the 29 last addresses.
Furthermore, Windows Mail has got a lot worse search feature than Outlook express. When searching for emails, it will not find all the emails. For instants, when I'm searching for parts of an email address, it finds only the messages for 2008. I would like to have Outlook Express on my Vista Home Premium system.
I am using Windows Mail but I think my Outlook 2007 is getting in the way. As follows:
1. If I click on an address inside an email to create a new email then despite my being in Windows Masil it pops up as an Outlook email. 2. If I click on address on a website it defaults to my Outlook 3. And some addresses do not appear when I begin to type them despite the fact that they are in Windows Mail address book, I assume because they are duplicatess from my Outlook address book, though I can't find them there.etc etc.
How do I disable Outlook and just stick with Windows Mail (which is not half as good as Outlook Express but alas, with Vista, can now not be used)
I have Exported my Windows Mail to Microsoft Exchange multiple times this morning, but I can't seem to find the .PST file it made. I have checked for *.PST in all indexed locations as well as all the hard drives in this computer. It made me create a profile (lvsysop) and I have searched the same locations for 'lvsysop' and "lvsysop.pst", but I can't find the file Windows Mail made. I've also checked for "outlook' and "Outlook.pst".Did it make a .PST file and if not what file did it make? It sure looked like it was making something as it scanned through the folders in Windows Mail.
I am using Window's Mail because Outlook did not come with my Office Suite. All of my saved emails from February are now gone. Does Window Mail only keep the files for 1 month like my Verizon mail account? where I can get an email service that will keep my emails for as long as I want them.
Just migrated from Outlook Express on XP-SP3 to Windows Mail on Vista. Trying to import .dbx files from OE to WM - and following the import "wizard". Having selected the drive where the .dbox files definitely are, I get the message "No messages can be found in this folder or another application is running that has the required files open" Windows Explorer confirms the files are in the selected drive and I am quite unaware of any other file which might be using them. Any ideas what I may be doing wrong/how to solve ?
I've recently upgarded to windows vista and i'm now using windows mail to access my email accounts. However when i click on a link to an email address, either on a website or through contacts, it attempts to take me to outlook, which i no longer use.
