I need to read an email from sometime ago. In XP I know where the .dbx files are. I can't find them in Vista 64. Are the still here or are the something else.I have unchecked hide protected bits and bobs.
When I first start Vista mail a popup asks me if I want to find my connection on this phone number or should it dial another number. When I click on newsgroups I get the same message and have to answer and when I click back to my inbox I get the popup question again and I have to click it repeatedly. It asks if it should dial another connection that is no longer on the computer. How can I kill this damned message? I switched to Live Mail but it does the same thing with that so I'm back with mail.
There are discussions on this general subject but no aparent resolution. About two months ago I was sometimes prevented from opening photo attachments on some emails received from the same party and sometimes could open them. By this I mean, I would click on the paperclip where a list of photos would appear and I'd click on on photo and I'd get a message saying: "Windows cannot find file name (photo captions used by sender).jpg. Make sure your typed the name correctly and then try again." Well, of course I didn't type the file name; the sender did. I could click on the save attachments, and once saved to a folder I could open them from the folder. I forwarded the mail to others, and they report no problems in viewing the photos. I can also view the photos in the email itself, but it would be necessary to scan up and down and from left to right to view the whold photo and the caption would not appear.
I've just got a new PC with the dreaded Vista installed so I thought I'd use Windows Mail rather than an older version of Outlook I've been using on my previous PC. I send out email to a number of lists and I use Bcc to hide all of the addresses. Trouble is, I can't find Bcc in Windows Mail. Is it there and if so where is it?
I can't connect to internet by Windows Vista. I tried to establish a dial-up connection, but Windows Vista can't find the modem. Even by giving the dial-up number and other login info, I can't connect to internet. Vista and XP are on different local disk and I can contact you with XP. I'm not sure what the modem is exactly (broadband, WWIS, DSL, etc.), it's a phone line modem with a speed of 56 kbps.
I am not a native english speaker, so don't hate me for language problems. So, the problem I have here is that Windows Vista does not find any DRM protected music files I have. I am a new Napster Flatrate To-Go user. I can download alot of albums, but of course they are DRM protected, which is not a problem for me. But what is an problem for me is, that any downloaded files won't be found by the index. The music files of Napster are stored in my music folder (C:Users...Music), so the indexer should find them. Any other music I had (non DRM protected files) can be found easily via the Startmenu, the search dialog and Windows Media Player. The DRM protected files can't be found, except than in Windows Media Player. I already deleted the old index-cache and created a new one, but that didn't help either. Anyone else with this problem? Or a solution maybe? Or is this a general "bug" in Windows Vista?
I upgraded from XP to Vista Ultimate 32 SP1 yesterday and I'm gradually getting used to everything and adapting all to my needs. I want to install Windows mail, but don't know where to find it. It's not in the startup menu.
I set a rule over a year ago to delete from the server, all mail over 750KBs. Now we have a faster connection and I want to change that, but can't find where. It's not listed in Message/Rule/Mail. Where is it located in Windows Mail? This is a Vista Home Premium computer with serv pack 2.
I upgraded to win7 and win live mail can't find my old vista windows mail to import. Where do I look for the folder. It is a shame that micro?? doesn't make this an automatic feature. I found all my outlook express files from when I imported those into vista mail but can't locate the vista mail folder.
Why can't the windows mail find the server? We have Earthlink and I keeping getting a message that it is trying to connect to "earthlink.net" and below that "Finding Host" . The Internet is up and working so why can't it connect? I have 8 messages that have been there for a week
I recently upgraded to VISTA and discovered I didn't like Windows Mail because of the way the autofill thing works for the addresses. So, someone in this group told me to upgrade to Windows Live Mail. I did that and so far have been very happy with it. Except that, I can't find new stationery for the program. I love using cloudeight stationery and it was working on the windows mail, but not on windows live mail. I emailed and asked them about this and the following is their reply to me. Is this true? Is Windows Live Mail really Hotmail? I look forward to hearing back from someone about this.
I recently discovered that the addresses in Windows Mail only auto completes 29 address. Dave suggested that I download Windows Live Mail the desktop version (not hotmail which apparently I am confusing it with). What is the website to download Windows Live Mail Desktop and is it free?? Please give me a link to the website, I cannot find it and I am confused. Right now I have Windows Mail Desktop that comes with Windows Vista. So I want the desktop windows live version
My computer crashed and I currently have my hard drive set up externally to copy the information off of it onto another computer. I was using Windows Mail that came with Vista on my old computer when it crashed. I've been able to salvage my data, but would like to find my messages stored in my Inbox in Windows Mail. I cannot open the program (Windows Mail) currently, but will be able to open it when my new computer arrives. For now, I'm copying needed files off my hard drive and storing them temporarily on my children's computer. I do not know what folders from Windows Mail, or Windows perhaps, that I need to save in order to hopefully open my saved inbox messages.
I'm using Windows Mail for my emails. When I exit the program, all the messages in the Delete Folder are permanently deleted. Under earlier versions you had the option of keeping messages in the delete folder when existing. I can't find that option in the current version of Windows Mail.
I have a simple text file with a certain word in it. I try to find this text file, but vista won't find it. Windows 2000, linked by network, finds it within a second. I have tried all available options.
It just doesn't work. Why is there not a simple search function that actually works like in windows2000? I am using Vista Ultimate 64 bit. But not having a working search function doesn't look that "ultimate" to me.
My main mail client is my office XP system, I also receive mail in home. So I select the 'Leave mail on Server' in my home XP system and it work fine. But after I upgrade my home PC to Vista system (I export my mail account for XP outlook express then inport it to my Vista system.) then it have problem - when the mail that I received in home Vista system Windows Mail then i no longer can receive in office mail client. Does anyone know is it the bug of Vista Windows Mail?
Why when I click on a link in windows mail do I get "windows cannot find? make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again" after that it go's no to open my browser.
I have over 20 different Groups set up in my Address Book. In the good old Outlook Express Address Book, I could open a Contact and in the "Other" tab, I could see a list of all the Groups that the person belongs to. In Windows Mail Contacts. I successfully imported all my Contacts and Groups. But is there a way to find out which Groups a person belongs to? It's too time consuming to manually search through each of my 20 groups. The Help section claims that Windows Mail has all the features of Outlook Express. but the list of Groups a person belongs to is obviously missing. show me that I can display a list of Groups for each person. I rely heavily on Groups. Just for example, if I have multiple entries for the same person (with different email addresses), I can tell which one is the most current by looking at which email address is part of a recently set up Group.
I do not have Vista, or Windows Mail, or Hotmail, so I'm flying a bit blind here. I have an acquaintance who has Vista, but does all her emailing via Hotmail. Recently, she has had some problems with the Hotmail service, and she has asked me if it is possible for her to change to the mail program that comes with Vista. (Windows Mail?) The snag is, she would like to import the contents of of all her web-based Hotmail folders, (her email messages in other words), and her Hotmail contacts into whatever email program she changes to.
1. Would this be possible with Windows Mail, or does she need to write off all her Hotmail stuff and start again from scratch?
2. If it is not possible with Windows Mail, is it possible with any other email client, such as Thunderbird or similar?
How do I remove Windows Vista, so that I can make a clean install of Windows 7. Does the removal of Windows Vista also removes Windows Mail and IT8? Do I have anything (Antivirus or other software) at all left on the PC after removal of the Windows?
I was using avg 7.5 without problems. Since installing AVG 8.0 my email scanner stopped working. It says, " no email client plugin installed". (I know I can disable the scanner, so something esle.
We frequently send mails with Windows Mail in Vista. Recently we found out that some mail were sent but never were sent to the e-mail adress on the e-mail. We found this out by testing and sending a test mail to our gmail account and it was never received allthough it was in the sent items in Windows Mail. We also sent the same mail from my old computer (outlook Express) it was received correct by gmail.
I have reconfigured my mail "account" settings over and over according to their "help" instructions. No matter what I do, I still get this stupid message. Where am I going wrong ?
I have a problem with my Vista Home Premium that I think is somehow connected to Vista`s Windows Mail. In my documents folder and on my desktop, 4 things show up that when I delete them to the recycle bin and empty the bin, they show up again the next time I go into Windows Mail. They are labled edb.chk, edb.log, edbres00001.jrs and edbres00002.jrs. Any recommendations on what they are and how to get rid of them?
I cannot open or save Windows Mail attachments. I have observed the process with procmon the sequence of events is as follows. Attachment is E013982279S15.pdf Winmail creates a file in the temporary location. Winmail the calls C:Program FilesDefenderMpOAV.dll. Winmail then apparently deletes the file. how to prevent the call to Defender? My other Vista computer doesn't do this. I installed IE8 and reverted back to IE7 in an attempt to fix this issue.
How do I send pictures with windows mail using vista. My message with pictures attatched are ready to be sent in the outbox. I use netzero.net for my ISP.
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.
Like many others, I've wasted more than enough time trying to get Windows Mail to work yet it remains completely unreliable. I have Windows Live Mail but it does not meet my needs (e.g. no provision for sub-folders or bulk despatch of emails). The email client "Thunderbird" has been recommended to me (though by an XP user - not Vista).
