The OS isWindows Vista 64bit Home Premium. Windows Mail tries to connect via Dial-up when the computer is on DSL, and of course fails. Cannot get it to connect to DSL like Windows Internet Explorer does,automatically. Tried HP support and they finally said I would probably have to uninstall Windows Mail and reinstall it. Any other ideas out there? Is it difficult to uninstall and reinstall Windows Mail? Or perhaps it would be better to just use another e-Mail program like Thunderbird?
I am using Windows Mail on a dial-up internet connection. When I open Windows Mail there is no-longer a prompt to connect to the internet.Instead I just get an error from each account saying the server could not be reached.Internet options all appear to be set correctly.
My notebook has a dial-up problem. Whenever I try to dial-up using any modem, it stops at "Modems Connecting". I thought it was a driver problem until I tried another modem that had always worked. I did a bit of goggling and found others have had the problem, but I did not find a solution.
I am working on moving over to Windows Vista, in hopes of going officially to Windows 7. I know I should be checking for Windows 7 but I have a full Vista Ultimate 64Bit. I have most of my devices configured but I do not seem to get my GVC modem to install. It is based off a Conexant processor and XP was able to use a "generic" Conexant driver.
4 try to fix a Bad keyboard my computer keeps giving me an Error 815 and say i'm not conecting--(I have broadspeed RR) because it cant find the dial up
When sending and recieiving, I get a dial up connection prompt asking me what service I want to sign up for? I have cable boradband and have neevr had issues with this?
I have a vista ultimate quad core 32 bit machine. It works great. I had to fax a doc yesterday and I couldn't do it. I loaded the program, went to the page, typed in phone number and other info. I hear the fax program dial ... on my speakers, not the modem speaker - the stereo speakers. I do not hear the dial tone - it just dials the number and then it rings 18 or 20 times and gives up. Two minutes later, it redials. I took DSL filter and telephone wire and connected to my backup celeron 1.7 machine and BVP (I think it is) software, I can print-fax a document. So, I know the wire and the dsl filter is ok. I got the fax off my desk but it sure is inconvenient. The kicker is that I did fax from the program 6-12 months ago. It was prior to upgrading vista to service pack 1.
First, my system is a Vista Home Premium, 64 bit with 8 GB RAM, Intel E8400 @ 3 GHz. Second, I have Hughesnet broadband; HN7000S modem/router, and a netgear switch, and a Linksys WRT54G as an AP for a couple of notebook computers that are sometimes connected. I also have a dialup account with WT.NET for "backup" (HN is rather unreliable).
I've have four or five computers on line since I had these two accounts, but the present Vista computer is the only one that keeps trying to access the dailup account, even though the comnputer is on-line with Hughesnet. (all the other computers are running XP.... I'm really beginning to hate Vista.)
Just purchased a new HP desktop with Vista and Norton Internet Security. DSL connection with line connection to Ethernet slot. The Internet connection is slower than dial up. The old crappy desktop I'm replacing was faster! Been through Norton and HP support desks, both of which have not fixed the issue. What suggestions do you have? If I can't fix this, I'm returning it and purchasing a MAC!
I fear to update Vista anymore, because there's always a new trouble with each update. First, the network icon for dial-up went off and dial-up showed not connected after SP2 installation, then bluetooth discovery went dead, after some time whole network center was behaving strangely and finally, week or two before, most strange thing started to happen after a bigger update rollup - a directory or directory link named A or B was created hidden on the system drive, which basically lead to the drive itself, but after trying to remove the directory, explorer hung and eventually went dead- hard reset needed. After a restart or in the safe mode, directory is empty and can be deleted.
After some time again, it's back, causing another hang-up. Spybot found nothing, updated ESET Smart Security is always on and found nothing, internet was disconnected, if it's a virus or malware, it's pretty unknown. Enough for my nerves- I did a complete Vista reinstall, this time I also installed Ubuntu just to have at least one reliable system ready. Well, everything went ok, after installing SP2 from offline package network icon worked ok, bluetooth and wifi as well. My happiness didn't last long indeed- after installing remaining post-SP2 updates, annoying A and B directories appeared again.... and yes, I know it would be much easier to stick with Ubuntu, but I've already spent lot of money for Vista software to just trash it, so I want to get it working well somehow.
I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium & connected via broadband with tiscali. Windows Mail randomly pops up the dial-up conection box but I can't get rid of this. I just click on the 'x' at top right and it goes, only to reappear at some random time. It's not a problem as such, just irritating.
my computer slows to a crawl. Control Atl delete yields, after a long black screen,?failure - security options?logon process has failed to create the security options dialog.?Have run complete checkdisk and hard drive tests and everything comes up okay. No events shown in event viewer. I see postings of this problem all over the internet but no solutions.
Running Vista on an HP...When I get the pop up to compact the mail I click OK and it gets about 3 quarters of the way thru and I get the message Windows Mail has stopped working and Windows is searching for an answer. The answer was DEP (Data Execution Protection)was shutting it down to protect my computer..What's the problem??? Norton internet Security up to date and nothing found with complete system scan..Vista up to date as well.
How to make a "Connect automatically" check mark stay in a "Dial-up Connection" window? The "Connect to:" field is "ADSL".The check mark disappears after a hibernation or restart. I have to check the "Connect automatically" and click "Connect" every time after a hibernation or restart to resume the internet connection.
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?
I received this after my computer locked up when trying to open up windows Mail "Windows Mail could not be started, initialize junk filtering. Your computer may be out of memory or your disk is full. (0x80070002)" After closing that error out I get "Windows Mail could not be started because MSOE.DLL could not be initialized.
I've had a problem for a while now. Every time I open Windows Mail up, or the news groups, I get a message saying Windows mail isn't my default mail program, and asks if I want it to be. I click yes every time, but I will still get this message when I open Windows Mail again the next day. Everything's works OK after I click this message. No other errors or anything.
I 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.
Every time I open Windows Mail it will erase all my SBC yahoo mail. I go to Yahoo Mail and all my e mails are gone. How can I change my settings so it doens't do that anymore?
Can't Windows Mail autofill e-mail addresses from Windows Contacts into the "To: "line? Opening Windows Contacts searching for an address and moving an address across seems awkward. It seems that you should start trying the address and it should autofil.
i also tried to change my default email to windows live, it doesn't work, comes up w/ some weird kind of mail that doesn't send messages (not sure if it's trying to use windows mail even tho it's set to windows live mail, or what). so, i'm trying to set up my windows live account (which is new, just set it up a couple of months ago), through windows mail. tried setting to pop3.live.com and smtp.live.com and when it goes to connect i keep getting this error message:
The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'pop3.live.com', Server: 'pop3.live.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
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.
How stable is Windows Live Mail? Does it convert your old Windows Mail messages and keep storing messages on your computer, or only online? And what about Contacts? Is there something good to read to read about moving from Windows Mail to Windows Live Mail? The material at is pretty superficial.
What, if any, inferences can be drawn from the fact that there are typically three times more posts about Windows Mail (WM) than Windows Live Mail (WLM). Could it be that:
(a) WM is more troublesome than WLM (in view of the greater complexity of WLM this seems improbable)?
(b) Many more people use WM (seems probable - I wonder what the figures are)?
(c) A higher proportion of technically savvy users are likely to be early adopters of Windows 7 who have to find an alternative to WM. Some then migrate to a non-Microsoft email client such as Thunderbird, while those that try WLM find they can master it with few problems (plausible)?
My feeling is that there seem to be an awful lot of folk hanging on to WM and that they might be put off updating to Windows 7 because neither WM (nor Outlook Express) will not be available (at least not in a securely supported version) to run on it. I am cross-posting this to both newsgroups and suggest that replies go to WM as it has the larger following.
I'm unable to send emails in my windows mail. When i select 'send/receive' a pop-message comes up telling me: The message could not be sent. The authentication setting might not be correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. For help solving this problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and read the "I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help determining the proper server settings, please contact your e-mail service provider.
The rejected e-mail address was 'natanyafeigin@gmail.com'. Subject 'Re: hi', Account: 'pop3.mweb.co.za', Server: 'smtp.vodacom.co.za', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '554 5.7.1 : Recipient address rejected: Access denied', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 554, Error Number: 0x800CCC79
For the last couple of weeks when I receive mail with attached pdf files, if I try to move or delete the mail Windows Mail hangs. Sometime it recovers but otherwise I need to kill it. I can open the attachment by clicking on the paper clip etc and everything seems fine so I don't think it's a security thing.
Using Easy File Transfer, how can I transfer just my e-mail settings from OE6 to Windows Mail? Everything else I "need" to move I can move by other means that I have already tested. E-mail is my only problem child.
i just installed the latest windows live mail beta software client and i wanted to know how do i get junk mail to be displayed automatically ? before it would show automatically on the layout of the reading pane to the right of the message list but now i have to click to open them because they wont show in the reading pane like they did before
