Should I use Windows Live Mail or Outlook Express ...

I have always used Windows Live Mail, as it is a very simple and pleasant program to use - great graphics, interface and reminders.
I found Outlook way too fiddly and technical, with a very boring interface and comparatively poor reminders that email has arrived.
However, since getting my E71 setup with Nokia Messaging, I have overcome this for the sake of being able to sync my contacts and messages - Outlook 2007 is now set as my default browser.
This was ok, but now when I use Windows Live Messenger I get email reminders up - and clicking on those takes me into Windows Live Mail.
I just want one, streamlined email/messenger service - one of these email managers must be deleted!
- Can I sync my E71 into Windows Live Mail instead of Outlook?
OR
- Can I replace Windows Live Mail with Outlook 2007, as the email manager used by Windows Live Messenger to open emails?
I want everything done with one email browser!

You can use iCloud Mail with Windows Live Mail, but not Calendars or Contacts.
If you want to use iCloud on Windows download EMClient, you can access the core services (Mail, Calendars and Contacts) using it. Installation and configuration will be manual.

HT4864 Can you use Windows Live Mail to send/recieve iCloud email and share contacts or can I just use iCloud email on my PC without use Live Mail?

Can you use Windows Live Mail to send/recieve iCloud email and share contacts or can I just use iCloud email on my PC without use Live Mail? I want to use one email adress, one contact list and one calendar. I want to be able to have access to all this on my iphone and pc.

You can only use Mail, contacts and calendars will not work, for that you need Outlook.

I use windows live mail and cannot seem to sync my address book with theiPad

I use windows live mail, but i can never sync my address book ( contacts ) with the iPAD.
Can I ??? or how to i export my contact list to iPAD

I have big problems with windows live mail all the time and I know my password but it wouldn't let me log on. It was a nightmare when I tried to get Xbox live. :(

How can I read my incoming emails in one folder?Like I do in Live mail and Outlook express.

Now we can only read emails in different folders if I am managing multiple email accounts.
It does not feel so comfortable as we use Live mail and Outlook express.

'''Unified Inbox for pop and Imap mail accounts:'''
If you use the Unified folder view, this will show an Inbox with all emails from all accounts, with sub folder Inboxes for the individual Inboxes for the various accounts. Then you can choose to view the collective Inbox or the individual Inbox.
This method can be chosen simply and quickly.
* View > folders > Unified
'''Setting up Pop mail accounts to use Global Inbox.'''
Pop mail accounts can be set up to use a Global Inbox in Local Folders.
Imap mail accounts cannot be set up to use Global Inbox, but can use the Unified view.
To change Pop mail accounts to use Global Inbox, you would need to move all emails into Local Folders Inbox.
Then change the settings for each pop mail account.
Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the pop mail account
click on 'Advanced' button
select 'Inbox for a different account' and 'Global Inbox (Local Folders)
click on OK
You need to do this for each Pop mail account.
Then close Thunderbird. You must do this before downloading anything otherwise the emails may continue to go to the wrong Inbox.
Wait a few moments for Thunderbird to fully close and then restart Thunderbird.

Como transferir emails y contactos de Windows Live Mail al Outlook de Mac

Como transferir los emails y contactos de Windows Live Mail (Windows 7) al Outlook de Mac (SO Maverik)

Can't send or receive emails using Windows Live Mail. Webmail login says "account disabled."

Since yesterday we have not been able to access our Verizon email through Windows Live Mail or loging on to the webmail service. Nothing happens and we get a "accounts disabled" message. I checked all of the POP settings and it won't connect. When we try to log in to the verizon webmail service, it says our accounts have been disabled. Please tell us what is going on. I've chatted with a representative and am speaking to one on the phone and they can't tell me why it's disabled or how they can enable it again.

Ok, now they're telling us that one of our email accounts is associated with someone in Texas. But we're from California and have always lived here.

My scool uses Windows Live for webmail (Outlook), and when I try to access it, it says I have to enable cookies; I already have, but it doesn't recognize it.

Everything worked fine until I was closing my webmail session, and Windows Live said I was not logged out - I had to delete cookies and close all other tabs. I did this, andWindows Live then said I had to enable cookies to log out. I checked my settings, and cookies are enabled (custom settings for history, "accept third party cookies" and "keep until"l are set). I even closed out of everything and did a restart, but no luck. It all works OK in IE still, so it's not the school website's problem. (But I don't want to use IE)
Everything was fine until I deleted cookies - I have always ignored the message about closing Windows Live before - I just didn't today...

Since recent fixes fron you Thunderbird now downloads the same e mails twice from the server within a few minutes I use Windows live mail

Since first using Thunderbird it worked ok but following recent upgrades/fixes it now downloads some e mails from the server twice within a few minutes. I have it set to check for new mail every 10 mins. I generally leave my e mails on the server but I deleted all mail from the server to try to fix this thinking it could be server side but the problem continues!

Ok
Item one.
Live consider 15 minutes the minimum period to check mail . More frequent attempts are access denied and repeated attempts results in a request for your password as Thunderbird decides it obviously has it wrong.
Item two'
Disable email scanning in your anti virus program, It is by far the most common cause of duplicate mails being downloaded.

I'm using windows live mail as my default, when I click file, send link, the proper mail window opens but the link is not highlighted in blue and cannot be opened by recipients

The link that shows up in the e-mail I send cannot be opened, there is no hyperlink I believe.

There is usually a toolbar button in the editor to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).<br />
You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.<br />
If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each.

I am fed up!!!
Apparently Nokia is not listening to their customers and instead diverts them to a damn Nielsen forum to write down all their frustration and needs again and again.
Why is it so complicated to provide an easy syncing tool between Windows Live Mail calendar and the N8 and C7 or E52 phones i.e. their built-in calendars (e.g..). Yes Nokia, I have bought all three phones within a time span of 5 months and have NOW FINALLY DECIDED to end my Nokia-sympathy due to lack of listening support. It comes as a joke that the internet is full of grief towards this standard problem and that none seems capable to do something. Apparently none wants to do anything as the whole situation looks like a "friendly agreement" between Nokia and Microsoft. They call it Marketing, I call it short-term-wannabe-software- regulation-policy as an aim to support, e.g. Outlook!!!
Goodbye Nokia. I'll turn to Apple! Please excuse my frustration

Windows live mail keeps uploading deleted emails. using the HP Pavilion Slimline s5623w

Emails that have been deleted months ago are continuously reloading to my inbox. I have the Norton anti virus running on my desktop and it is indicating that everything is fine. Not quite sure what to do. I haven't installed any new software to my computer.

Hello queenbre2000,
To clarify you are using the Windows mail application and not necessarily using Live mail from Microsoft?
What email accounts are you using within Live Mail? Since the application supports many different email providers knowing your exact provider and how you have it configured is going to help with providing proper steps.
So questions for you
1. Clarify that you are using Windows Live Mail as in the application?
1a. If yes, what email provider are you using within the application?
1b. If no, what application are you using to get your Live Mail?
2. Are you configured for POP or IMAP access?
3. Are you running the latest version of the application that you are using?
4. Do you have the latest Microsoft Windows Updates?
5. Don't delete, instead manually move an item from the inbox to the trash by dragging and dropping, does it reappear in the inbox?
6. If you view your email online through the website is the email showing in the inbox?
Please post back clarifications to the questions.
If I have helped you in any way click the Kudos button to say Thanks.
