Using Windows Mail and BT Yahoo

I use Windows Mail with an email address ending in @btinternet.com.
I also have a BT Yahoo webmail account using the same email address.
As I use Windows Mail most of all I've tended to keep the BT Yahoo Mail account as a "back up".
Recently however I have noticed a few emails reach my BT Yahoo Webmail but do not appear in my Windows Mail inbox.
I was embarrassed recently when an important message fell into this category and I missed it because I only log in to the webmail a couple of times a week.
Does anyone else have this problem, or know why it happens
In every case the messages have been from individuals, not from businesses.
And in the case of one particular individual, a friend in the USA, all his recent messages have gone to the webmail account only and not reached the Windows Mail account.
Thanks in advance for your kind help/advice/support

Hi. Welcome to the forums.
May I ask where these webmail emails appeared ? Were they in the Inbox, or perhaps the Spam folder or another folder you've added ?
Only emails in the Inbox will arrive at Windows Mail. I assume you've set an advanced option within Windows Mail to "leave messages on server", and hence have all of your emails held in webmail ?
It is possible that Windows Mail has a slightly corrupted index, which makes a note of the emails it has last received, and therefore not picked up the new ones. This index can be reset, but you could effectively start receiving all of the emails stored on the mail server again - which could take a long time.

  • All email links have stopped working from both Windows Mail and Thunderbird. It is probably caused by a recent update to Firefox. How can I sort this?

    It was OK until a few days ago but now no links work in either Thunderbird or Windows Mail. I have changed nothing so I can only assume that this is another case of an update changing things without my knowledge.
    Links within web pages still work. Firefox is the default browser and we have been using Windows Mail and Thunderbird (gmail and googlemail) for at least a couple of years on this computer.

    Open your firewall program. First check the settings. Make sure that the
    program is set to tell you if a new program wants access to the web. Then
    go to the list of programs the firewall has. Make sure that all the programs
    you want to access the web are set to '''ALLOW'''. If it is set to '''AUTO''', the
    firewall may not allow access.
    This problem occurs when your Internet security program was set to trust the
    previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as
    trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet
    again:<BR><BR>
    * Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)<BR><BR>
    * Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.

  • Setting up windows mail and accessing webmail

    two issues which I suspect are linked:
    In trying to setup windows mail, and trying to send test emails I get:
     Account: 'mail.btinternet.com', Server: 'mail.btinternet.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR [AUTH] Error logging in. Please visit http://mail.yahoo.com', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92
    I've followed the steps for setting up the account as supplied at
    http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9701/c/346,412/related/1/session/L2F2LzEvdGltZS8xMzAz...
    and tried two variants on my username: firstname.surnameXXXX
    and [email protected]
    when I try to send/receive in Windows Mail - a windows security box appears asking to username/password
    on entering the username/password the dialog box just reappears, and no progress is made. On cancelling the dialog the above error appears.
    When trying the webmail login, and on entering my username ([email protected])
    and the supplied password, yahoo login gives this error:
    This ID is not yet taken. Are you trying to register for a new account?
    This is a new account with BT broadband, with the account starting on 1 April, and broadband going live on 13 Apr.
    Having setup Mail for other cable/broadband suppliers this is the most trouble I've ever had.
    Had double checked that I'm not mistaking 0 and O in the username/password, and have even copy/pasted them from my original order confirmation, so confident I haven't typod either of these details.

    that's the page but actually log in on that page to your mail and not use windows mail just to make sure it is working before checking to see if you have an error setting up windowds mail.  sometimes it can be 3/4 days after your broadband account goes live
    I use windows live mail to pick up and send my btinternet mail without a problem

  • Webcam on Satellite A500 using Windows 7 and Windows Live Messenger 2009 (14.0.8089​.726)

    Hello. This is my very first post and maybe I can find a resolution to the problem. Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you if you can assist me in resolving the problem.
    I recently upgraded from Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium using the Windows 7 Upgrade Media that was sent to me for my Toshiba Satellite A500. The upgrade loaded successfully. My laptop already had the Windows Live (MSN) Messenger on it when I was using Windows Vista and the webcam worked okay then. Now with Windows 7, when I try to do a voice/video chat using the Windows Live (MSN) Messenger version 2009 (Build 14.0.8089.726), my built-in laptop webcam does not work. When I initiate a voice/video chat, all I get is a big red X next to the webcam icon in the little view area window when it attempts to run. I can receive voice/video from people using MSN Messenger but my laptop can't send out any video. My laptop sends out voice but no video. I un-installed the Messenger, rebooted and re-installed it but it still won't do video output.
    Interestingly, when I tried doing a voice/video chat with Gmail, my webcam worked. I haven't tried Yahoo yet. My webcam worked fine before upgrading to Windows 7. I suppose I could just forget about MSN Messenger and use Gmail but not all my contacts use Gmail. I'd like to be able to continue using MSN Messenger if possible.
    So I'm posting here to see if there is any resolution or suggestions I can have to get my webcam working with Windows Live (MSN) Messenger. Not the end of the world if I can't make it work again.
    Have a nice day. Regards,
    Doug

  • How to use Windows Mail with Firefox

    I want to use Windows Mail as my default e-mail program when using Firefox to browse the internet and initiate e-mail messages. How can I get Firefox to use Windows Mail? Right now, it is using Thunderbird, which I do not even have installed on my PC, and it is using the web e-mail Address Book and Sent folder on my ISP's web site, rather than being able to reference the Address Book and Sent folder on my PC.
    Thank you!

  • Sateillite A200-1A9: Issue with sending/receiving E-mail using Windows Mail

    Using Windows mail I have to close/open the programme to be able to send mails, they get stuck in the Outbox. By closing and reopening the programme the mail gets sent. Also the Blue figure 1 in brackets showning 1 unread mail in the Outbox is there all the time although there is no mails read or unread in the Outbox
    Not a server problem as all mails are going/receiving fine on my desktop.
    Pressing send and receive button does not help. although some of the time it will receive mails when pressing send/receive but will not send them
    I do have Norton Internet security 2007 and am getting fed up with the continuing problems that this seems to cause over the period 2004-7.
    Is there an issue with the Windows mail programme running with Vista that is known

    I think I have found a solution
    Please check this:

    It seems that the update of Software Desktop SMS to the newest version will help to sort out this problem.

  • I use windows XP and recently upgraded to FF 6.0 when I click the FF shortcut it attempts to load with the hourglass icon but then stops. 5-8 minuets after it loads. This is obviously frustrating. I love FF and need your help.

  • I use Windows Vista and Microsoft Outlook. After migrating to iCloud, the calendar of iCloud tranferred only part of my past Calendar items to the folder iCloud Calendar in my Outlook. How can I transfer all the entries?

    I use Windows Vista and Microsoft Outlook. After migrating to iCloud, the calendar of iCloud tranferred only part of my past Calendar items to the folder iCloud Calendar in my Outlook. How can I transfer all the entries? In iCloud's site all are there.

    If the calendar is on iCoud.com, all you would need to do to get it on your phone is go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your iCoud account and turn Calendars on.  The iCloud calendars will then download to your phone.

  • I just factory restored my iPod 5 touch and when I plug it into iTunes to restore the back up I made, iTunes becomes unresponsive and closes. But when I unplug the iPod, it starts working again. Using Windows 8 and iTunes is updated, please help.

    I just factory restored my iPod 5 touch and when I plug it into iTunes to back it up, iTunes stops responding and closes. This only occurs when the iPod is plugged in, when it isn't, iTunes works fine. I am using Windows 8 and iTunes is updated (as of this posting). Any suggestions on getting around this? Thank you.

    Also, when I put it through the Windows diagnostic, it lists an "incompatible program" WHILE my iPod is plugged in.
