Can Windows Live Mail be synced with my iPad?

My mail account is with Comcast; however I view my mail in Windows Live on my PC. I am able to view the mail on my iPad e-mail app, also. My problem is getting it to sync. I can't get my contacts to copy to my iPad and when I delete an e-mail from my PC, it remains on my iPad. If my understanding of the whole syncing process is correct, I thnk once I delete from my PC it should be gone from my iPad. Am I doing something wrong or is it not possible to sync Windows Live with my iPad?

Comcast does not support imap. Personally I would leave them just for that if I didn't for crappy and overpriced service 10 years ago.
There are two problems you are dealing with right now. One with pop accounts sync of the mail is going the way you noticed. There is a way to adapt settings and there are instructions here
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3228
I didn't find for windows live, but you can try use "windows mail" once you see you will get the gist of it. You want to keep mail on the server for 7 days. It will give you time to download mail to both and then deleting should sync.
Second problem are your contacts. At that time sync with windows live is not supported. If windows live mail however put your contacts inside of your "windows contacts" folder then you can get itunes to sync those. Search location of that folder for your Windows on Google. Check if you see your contacts inside and then sync using regular itunes sync.

You need OSX 10.7.2 or higher in order to access icloud. The mobile me account is now defunct (it closed down more than a year ago).

Windows Live Mail 3 beta with Calendar support is now available

Windows Live Mail 3 beta is now available for download. One important new feature is a calendar which automatically synchronizes with the Windows Live web calendar. I'm hoping that Palm's "Hot Sync" will eventually support Windows Live Mail 3 so that Outlook is no longer necessary. Is there a plan to support WLM3?

Windows Live Mail not connceting with BT email

Hi
After 11 weeks trying to get help from BT I managed to get my BT email working, sort of. The problem I'm left with is that Windows Live Mail will not connect to it, an error message of user or password not recognised appears. I've read various messages on the internet but still have had no success. My Windows Live settings are as follows:
Servers
My incoming mail server: POP3
Incoming mail: mail.btinternet.com
Outgoing mail: mail.btinternet.com
Email username: [email protected] (have tried this with the part before the @ also)
Password: xxxxx (Password working on BT email)
Log on using clear text authentication
Advanced
Server port numbers:
Outgoing mail: 465 with SSL ticked
Incoming mail: 995 with SSL ticked
Any idea what is wrong? Should I go back to BT about this when incoming and outgoing mail is working using BT email? Thanks for any help
Goggs

I use the following settings on Windows Live Mail with BTMail on Windows 7
Open your Windows Mail
Go to Tools > Accounts > Properties
Check in user Information that you have entered your name and the full email address. Tick the box “include this account when receiving mail etc”
Click the Servers Tab
My incoming mail server is POP3
Incoming mail (POP3) mail.btinternet.com
Outgoing mail (SMTP) mail.btinternet.com
Incoming Mail server:
Email username: Prefix of your email address
Password: (your normal email password)
Tick the box “remember password”
Tick “log on using secure authentication”
Outgoing Mail Server:
Tick box “my server requires authentication”
Click on the button “Settings” ensure that it is using “use same settings as my incoming server”
There are no changes in the “Connection” or “Security” tabs so ignore them.
Click on the “Advanced” tab
Server Port Numbers
Outgoing (SMTP) 465
Tick box “requires secure connection (SSL)
Incoming (POP3) 995
Tick box “requires secure connection (SSL)

Tick the box “leave copy on server”
Click OK and close the mail down.

How can I STOP mail from syncing with .mac????

I don't have a .mac account, I will never have a .mac account, I have in mail prefs BOTH boxes under "synchronize with other computers using .mac" unchecked, and yet Mac Mail tries to tie up my entire system "synchronizing with .mac" all the time, especially when traffic is heavy (downloading or uploading). I've got activity viewer on and the stop sign is ghosted, there appears to be no way to stop Mail from doing this useless tie up time wasting process that manages to completely freeze up mail until it's completed and sometimes slow up other programs as well. I only have POP accounts, no IMAP accounts that have to be synced.
This didn't start happening until I upgraded to 10.4.11. Prior to that Mail blazed through everything, and it NEVER tried to sync with .mac.
Is there any way to turn this useless "feature" (for me) OFF?
Thanks!

I was on Tiger earlier, but just got home to a Leopard machine... and a power outage during the day seems to have blown my Tiger's Monitor, but look for...
/Users/bd/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local/clientdata/com.apple.DotMacSync
I'd try dragging the whole folder, if it exists...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
to the Desktop & reboot, we can always move it back if need be.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.DotMacSync.<ethernet MAC address>.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.DotMacSync.plist
are both other good choices to drag to the desktop.
We might even have to go in and Copy this to the Desktop then Trash the originl...

Is Windows Live Mail 2012 compatible with Windows 8.1 ?

I'm having ongoing problems with WLM 2012 not responding after I try to attach a file to a new email.
As soon as I click 'attach' the program stops responding and I have to close it down.
I've used 'Find & Fix Problems' and in 'Programs' it offers different settings for WLM saying it is "An incompatible Program".
This temporarily fixes the problem until I close the program and restart it when it comes back again?
Is this a known problem with WLM 2012 and 8.1?
Are Microsoft offering a fix for it?

Hi,
No, this should not be a compatible issue, sounds like a software conflict, perform a reinstallation to fix it.

How can I get Outlook to sync with my iPad?

I have a Dell Latitude with a new hard drive and Office 2010. I installed iTunes and successfully synced my iPhone 5 with my Oulook contacts and calendar. Then I immediately synced my computer and my iPad Air. While I was successful in syncing my contacts, my calendar did not sync and actually deleted all previous events on my iPad's calendar. I have tried to sync several times without any success? What should I try next?
Thanks.

Had you previously synced your iPad to another computer?

How does iCloud have anything to do with this, you have 2 email accounts, neither of them an iCloud account?
If you want to get Gmail on your iPhone add it to your iPhone. Same goes for Outlook.

Contacts Sync with Windows Live Mail 2011

I'm using Windows 7 with the Windows Live Mail 2011 desktop application for email and contacts. Is it possible to sync the contacts in my Windows Live Mail 2011 application with my iPhone (iOS v4) using iTunes?
In Windows Vista, I used Windows Mail which stored contacts data in the Contacts folder within my profile (c:\users\username\contacts). These contacts did sync with my iPhone without any problems. Windows 7 doesn't have an email application built-in so, I'm using Windows Live Mail 2011. Windows Live Mail 2011 doesn't store contacts in the Contacts folder within my profile though. Is there anyway to sync my iPhone with my Windows Live Mail 2011 contacts?
Thanks,
Matt

Found this with a quick Google search:
To sync contacts with your computer, choose Sync Contacts on your Windows-based PC, or Sync Contacts with Address Book on your Mac.
You can sync your contacts with:
* Microsoft Outlook 2003 or Microsoft Outlook 2007 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7)
* Windows Address Book (Windows XP and Windows Vista)
* Address Book (Mac OS X v10.4.11 or later)
* Microsoft Entourage 2004 or Microsoft Entourage 2008
So it looks like the answer is no, you can't sync your contacts with Windows Live Mail 2011.

Syncing contacts from Windows Live Mail

I have just bought a new ipad and am trying to sync my contacts from Windows Live Mail. I have found a previous post detailing what to do bit I get to a certain stage in the instructions and can't get any further. Here is the answer I found:
If you are using Windows Live Mail (online version) with Windows 7, here's what I did. Hope it helps someone.
Before you do the following steps, in Windows Live Mail, export your contacts as a CSV file and save it where you can easily locate it.
1.      Click on the little WINDOWS Ball in the lower left-hand corner of your screen (this is the same as clicking START).
2.      Type WAB in the search box. The first thing that comes up SHOULD BE a file called WAB.EXE. Double-click so it opens up—it may or may not be empty. This file is NOT the same file as the windows live file so don’t worry about overwriting anything.
3.      Click IMPORT at the top of the screen.
4.      Select CSV, then click IMPORT again. It will ask you to find the file you want to import. Find the backup you made.
5.      Once it’s done importing, you should see all your contacts.
6.      Plug in your Apple device—iphone/ipad.
7.      iTunes will launch automatically. Give it a minute to completely load etc.
8.      At the top of the screen you will see: SUMMARY INFO APPS MUSIC MOVIES TV SHOWS etc. etc.
9. Click on INFO
10. You will see ‘SYNC CONTACTS WITH’. Make sure there is a check in the box and that after ‘with’ you see WINDOWS CONTACTS. If you don’t see WINDOWS CONTACTS, click on the drop-down menu and select it.
11. Then click on SYNC at the bottom right-hand corner of your screen and let it run.
12. That’s it!
14. To sync another device repeat steps 6-12
I got as far as number 9 where I clicked on INFO and it showed SYNC CONTACTS with some text, but not SYNC CONTACTS WITH and there were no boxes to check at all. Can anyone shed any light on what I should do next please?

Hi,
Actually I don't have any problems with mails and calendars as both of them work back and forth with Windows Live Mail and IPad.
The problem is only with contacts. Once a new contact is created in my IPad it does not go in my Windows Live contact box.
Thanks

The iPhone 3 and Windows Live Mail Calendar

I have a few questions that I hope someone can answer.
1. Is the Windows Live Mail Calendar compatible with the iPhone?
2. If not, why not? Are there any plans for this to happen?
3. If they are, how do I sync the two?
Thanks!
Richard

Yes, it is compatible and it syncs over the air.

BTYahoo and Windows Live Mail

Hi,
I use BTYahoo online mail, and Windows Live Mail desktop client. I want to be able to sync my Windows Live Mail address book with BTYahoo mail. Is this possible?
Thanks
Dave.

Well I suppose the good news is that I am not the only person with this problem but it has made me think of a possible resolution.
Trying to follow this logically, I am not getting any problems with my android devices which connect wirelessly so I am not sure that it can be slow broadband connection or intermittent line problems bearing in mind that my PC is connected to the router by ethernet cable which should be better than wifi. It would therefore seem to be the way that Windows Live Mail is connecting, and on checking I see that the server settings are different. I have matched my PC to the Android settings and I will report back the results.
I can quite see if the server keeps dropping the connection for some reason or different servers settings are being used to access the emails then this might trigger the request for a new password.

Windows Live Mail could not be started. Closing Windows Live Mail. Your calendar contains corrupt data that is forcing Windows Live Mail to close. (0x8E5E0247

Hi
Can you please HELP??
I recently had to change my hard drive for my laptop (Sony Vaio). The IT guy replaced my HDD and ghost all my information
from old to new drive. Everything works perfect except for Windows Live Mail.
When I open WLM I get this error:
“Windows Live Mail could not be started. Closing Windows Live Mail. Your calendar contains corrupt data that is forcing
Windows Live Mail to close. (0x8E5E0247)”
I have since done the following:
PROBLEM SOLUTION 1:
1. Close Windows Live Mail and any other Windows Live programs.
2. Click Start (then Run for
Windows XP), paste the following path below and press Enter:
%Localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Calendars
3. Rename the folder of the account you use to sign in to Windows Live Mail to
sync your calendar (ex. rename [email protected] to [email protected]).
4. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
5. Launch Windows Live Mail again.
THIS DID NOT WORK SO I DID THE FOLLOWING:
PROBLEM SOLUTION 2:
I removed WLM (uninstall) and reinstalled and still nothing.
PROBLEM SOLUTION 3:
I also renamed the WLM folder and reinstalled WLM, then deleted the new WLM folder and still nothing.
PROBLEM SOLUTION 4:
I also tried to import my emails from WLM to Microsoft Outlook but I only have a copy of my mails from the directory.
I do not have an EXPORT copy saved anywhere. Is there any way I can export the WLM to Microsoft outlook?
PLEASE HELP I AM AT WITS END.

I have had many problems with permissions on Windows Vista, 7,8 & 81.1. It is usually after an update or installation, especially one that requires a reboot to finish (some AVG, Windows Live, Windows Updates, etc). Once File(s), Folder(s)
and Registry Key(s) permissions are screwed up, it can take days to work them out if ever.
After having spent several hours on a clients PC and online forums with this problem. I transferred her user profile with a free program called
Transwiz (run as Administrator) to a zip file on the HDD. I renamed her user in manage User Accounts to "Username old". I then ran Transwiz again to restore the profile but telling it to create a new user using the original Username.
After it completed restoring the profile, I logged out of "Username old" and logged in to Username and all wass well, I only needed to supply the email password which is not transferred. When you move profile data, all the old permissions
have to be removed and <st1:personname w:st="on">new</st1:personname> permissions added so the data and files belong to the <st1:personname w:st="on">new</st1:personname> user. This cleared up all the permission
problems.

ICloud won't download whole msg to Windows Live Mail 2011 program if pdf attached

I just posted a message about this but think I posted it in the wrong section, so, am posting again here. Has anyone had this problem? The email arrives in Windows Live Mail 2011 program with the pdf attached but what the sender typed to me in the email is missing.
This email was generated originally by a mac user who sent it to another mac user with a pdf attached. The second mac user sent it to me after typing a couple of words asking me to do something with the pdf. I never saw what he typed in - it was hidden. If I clicked Forwardd, then the draft of the forward showed some of his message to me but it was in weird format (lines broken in half, letters missing). If I clicked Reply, I could not type into the reply.
I checked iCloud mail. The message was there in the iCloud incoming mail folder, intact, everything visible. So the problem occurs when the IMAP server goes to send the mail on to my computer's email program. Junk filters are turned off both on the IMAP server and in my email program so that is not part of the problem.
One thing that occurred to me is that Windows Live Mail 2011 is receiving the email with pdf attached as though the text in the email were a photo or image.
Has anyone encountered this? Can anyone guess what is wrong? Does anyone know how to fix it?
I am using an HP Pavilion Laptop with Windows 7 home premium 64 bit.

Does the ext directory have the php_oci8.dll? In the original steps the PHP dir is renamed. In the given php.in the extension_dir looks like it has been updated correctly. Since PHP distributes php_oci8.dll by default I reckon there would be a very good chance that the problem was somewhere else. Since this is an old thread I don't think we'll get much value from speculation.
