It looks like you used the wrong port. POP should be 995, not 465.

Move email files from windows live mail to office for mac outlook

I would like to move all my Email data from MS Windows live mail to MS Office for Mac Outlook. Can it b done??

OK.
Your provider supports IMAP and POP, so, easy way first.
Go to System Preferences>Mail, Contacts, Calendars and enter the ntlworld account, SMTP for sending and IMAP for receiving (use 'other' as the account type), this will activate the account on the Mac and (depending on how set up on the PC) either sync all of the mail, or only the new mail. Post back and tell me which.

Does Windows Live give POP access?
Older Hotmail accounts would work if you installed the HttpMail Plugin. But if you're account is new (less than a few years old) it may not.

Why does Mail pull in old emails from my windows live email address?

I've got various active e-mail addresses from new and old internet providers, and if i use them they will continue to work, (so i'm told)
but the one i've got from when i had a windows phone (i know.... i was er... experimenting ) and for my xbox account, just seems to
pull in old e-mails (a week or more, e-mails i've already had through other e-mail addresses) noticed it more this xmas,
as the sales had ended by the time i received an e-mail from windows live,
does anyone know why?

Travis,
You have posted in the Mail & AB forum for Leopard, and not Snow Leopard, and the system info posting below any of your responses reports 10.5.6 -- you should correct the latter.
For some using Snow Leopard and using Time Machine, this has been leading edge issue, and one that hopefully will be dealt with by the next update to SL. What seems to happen with Mail 4.x and use of Time Machine, is that the file that in normal use prevents duplicate downloads gets restored to an old version, and thus Mail does not know it has downloaded the messages previously. Purging the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3 file will cure briefly (after enduring one more download of all messages on the server, but the problem will return because of Time Machine. Are you using Time Machine?
As for housekeeping, if you quit Mail, and then shut down your laptop (or maybe even if only putting it to sleep by closing the lid), then Mail housekeeping tasks, which include keeping the index up-to-date do not get finished, and then can be problems. Now that I know you are using Snow Leopard, I am less suspicious of that.

Language setting for windows live account security - keep receiving chinese communication when my account is in English

I keep receiving important security emails from [email protected] in Chinese language when my language selection is in English.
Can someone help to advise me what setting do I need to change to correct this? Thanks

1. Go to https://account.live.com/proofs/Manage
2. Scroll down and set your language to EN-US > Save
3. Under "Security info helps keep your account secure," remove your current email address and re-add it.
(You may have to use a temp email account if you only have one email address for receiving security related emails from Microsoft.)

Why can't i access my hotmail email inbox from Windows Live messenger

I am able to access it when I use the IE browser, but it appears to be blocked when I use Mozilla Firefox. I have changed my password, but can't access my account to change my personal question as recommended by Windows support forum. This problem began on Sept.28th. Until that time,i had no problem accessing my alternate email

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
Why does iphoto not let you access photos in the same way?
Because you are working with a photo management database in iPhoto which gives you a great deal more flexibility and power compared to a folder based organization like you had on your PC. You do need to learn how to use it- there is a learning curve.
Do I first need to store my photos in Pictures and then make copies of them in iPhoto?
No
When you want to attach a photo to a web upload look in the media section in the source pane to the left of the selection box

BT INTERNET EMAIL / WINDOWS LIVE MAIL ISSUE

Good Evening BTCare Community, thanks for taking the time to read this.
I am posting here in the hope that someone out there has come across this problem before when using a BT Internet Email account with Windows Live Mail.
My friend has a BT Internet email account - I've set up Windows Live Mail for him, on a Windows 7 laptop. This was a pretty straightforward process, however my friend is constanly seeing the following error when attempting to send/receive mails through WLM
UNABLE TO SEND OR RECEIVE MESSAGES FOR THE BT INTERNET ACCOUNT
I have tried for several weeks to get to the bottom of this, but sadly with no avail. I have spoken to BT Tech Support twice - the first time an analyst connected to the laptop & checked this - he suddenly suggested I re-install WLM (Which I think was his was of getting me off the phone, as it was approaching 2200 UK time, which I think is when the Help Desk closes!) - so I gave this a try - a complete re-installation of WLM was done - but I am afraid that this hasn't resolved things, the error is still being generated.
I have contacted BT again - spoke to another analyst, who after discussions advised me that there is a known issue between WLM and BT Internet accounts - and that the above error is being displayed due to the size of some email messages that are waiting to be delivered to my friends account. The analyst then suggested that I might want to try another email client - he suggested Mozilla Thunderbird. I've had no experience of Thunderbird - so I've tried downloading this on my own system to see what it's all about - straight away my AV reported a Trojan - MAPIATTACH.TMP - so I'm not going to play about any more with Thunderbird, if I can help it!
Of course, my friend is able to access his email at the BT Internet web page - but we would like his email to be up & running without any problems on an email client - surely there must be some way around the error above, to get my friends email up & running without this error constantly being generated?
I would be extremely grateful for any assistance with this problem - if you have any experience of this error I would love to hear about it - especially if you got it resolved!
Thanks for taking the time to read this - thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.
Kindest Regards
Alex

Intranet email with apple mail and windows live mail on LAN

i have a home wifi network and have two computers using it. one is my macbook and other is my toshiba vista laptop. now my bro and i often exchange emails. he uses windows live mail and i use apple mail. since we are on a slow internet connection with limited data usage per month i was wondering if we could email each other directly over our wifi LAN network without having to use our ISP. i know that we wont be able to use our gmail, yahoo or hotmail or other such internet based IDs but maybe we can make a LAN based ID and exchange emails.
any suggestions?

There's no practical, simple way to do that as far as I know. Apple Mail, like virtually every other mail program is only able to communicate with a mail server, not with another such program.
You would either need to set up a mail server on your LAN (not a trivial task) or you'd have to find a "peer-to-peer" email program and I'm not aware of any such application. Furthermore, in your situation, it would have to be cross-platform (Windows and Mac).
In more technical terms, the email programs we all use are "Mail User Agents" (MUA). An MUA has to communicate with a "Mail Transfer Agent" (MTA), i.e. the email server. An MUA has NO way to communicate directly with another MUA.

Cant create email account but can with windows live mail

I have an email account that thunderbird just wont create I have contacted my isp and have all the settings correct but everytime i get a message saying. Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account. but on my other email account with charter thunderbird set it up just fine. but when i used the settings to set up the email account in windows live mail it worked. My isp told me its a problem with thrunderbird. can someone help me please.

Not a problem with Thunderbird, a problem with your anti virus blocking Thunderbird from accessing the internet.
the configuration for charter is here https://autoconfig.thunderbird.net/v1.1/charter.net
If Thunderbird can not find it, it is because it can not connect.
Check the firewall component of the anri virus and make sure Thunderbird has full access to the internet.

How Can I Receive (Non BT) Email Via 'Windows Live...

We've recently got BT Infinity, and I want to send and receive Emails from various Email providers via Windows Live Mail. Before, all I had to do was go into Windows Live Mail and set the incoming servers to whatever the Email providers was, and the outgoing servers as "relay.plus.net" and everything just worked. I've tried setting the outgoing servers to "mail.btinternet.com", but I still cannot send anything.
The instructions I've found so far, are for logging into BT Yahoo Mail and 'verifying' Email addresses. But we don't have BT Yahoo, the only BT Email we can access is BT Mail via the BT website. This has a different interface.
Could someone give me a step by step guide how to do this and tell me exactly what I'm meant to be putting in my Windows Live Mail account settings?
An example of the error message I get is as below
The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's e-mail address. The sender's e-mail address was '[email protected]'.
Subject 'TEST'
Server Error: 530
Server Response: 530 authentication required - Your email could not be sent. To fix this you must make a simple change to your email client (known as SMTP authentication). For advice visit http://www.bt.com/smtp
Server: 'mail.btinternet.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC78
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 25
Secure(SSL): No

Check you have the correct settings as per this link

Windows Live Mail - How to Set it Up

I've been trying to set up Windows Live Mail to display emails received by my BT Mail account.
None of the detailed instructions on the Internet correspond to the Wndows Live Mail screens that appear during the setting up process.
In addition to the above problem, Windows Live Mail asks for ingoing and outgoing details. I've been using imap.btinternet.com for ingoing, port 993 and smtp.btinternet.com for outgoing, port 465, all gleaned from BT on the internet (although I've lost track of where that all came from during my hours of searching).
At the end of the hit-and-miss set up attempt, the user screen in Windows Live Mail (which looks a lot like the old Outlook Express screen) displays my email address in the left column, along with some folder names that were there before I started setting up, but it won't display the folder names corresponding to my BT email address and it won't display any emails. Basically, my actions have only worked to the extent that my email address is displayed, but that's all.
Can anyone please give a detailed, step-by-step description of exactly what needs to be done from absolute scratch, such that a three year old with no computer knowledge could complete it successfully.
Thank you if you can help.

Many thanks for both replies and the links in the second reply.
I've digested the first recommended link and carefully followed the second recommended link, following the further sub-link therein for 'Windows Live Mail'.
As per my original post, there are differences between the recommended link screens and the screens that appear in the version of Windows Live Mail I've downloaded from Microsoft and installed.
Thus:
(1) - 'login user name' in the recommended link appears as 'login ID if different from email address' in the Windows Live Mail software. The recommended link completes that entry as 'example.user', which is meaningless. Is that my BT email address, without the '.com' extension? Then again, applying straightforward logic to the instruction, since my BT login ID is my email address, then the entry should be blank, should it not? Therefore, I've left the entry blank. If that is incorrect, what should I enter, please?
(2) - Continuing completion of the entries from top to bottom, I eventually come to the 'outgoing server information' entry, most particularly the port number. I've entered '465' as the outgoing server information port number. Continuing further, when I subsequently tick the box against 'This server requires a secure connection (SSL)', the port number entered earlier is altered (without any other action by me) to 25. I can go back and change it back to 465, which is what I've done. Is that correct, or should I allowthe software to impose 25?
(3) - I then discover that the 'NEXT' button is greyed out. I therefore can't select 'Next', so, having completed the entries in the window, I'm currently stuck there.
Any help would be gratefully received, with thanks.

Cannot Sync Windows Live Email on E71

When I go to the Windows Live icon in Messaging, then select Options>SyncEmail - my E71 tries to connect, then times out. If I go to Settings>Email and select Windows Live I get 'Feature Not Supported'.
Q: How do I configure Windows Live?
Connectivity for all other Messaging accounts is fine.
The Messenger functionality of Windows Live is fine - my Hotmail address is entered and can chat no problem.
Thanks!
Simon

Ok I fixed it.
In Messenger, I signed out, then did Switch Account. Then re-entered my hotmail address, and the next step is given the option to Sync Email at same time as setting up Messenger. I selected it. After completing Messenger set-up, when I go back to Messaging>Windows Live then it has now sync'ed ok.
