Windows 8 "Mail" settings

Hello, and Happy New Year to everyone! I recently purchased an "all-in-one" PC featuring the new Windows 8 operating system. The "Mail" pane on the home screen needs to be configured so that I can send & receive e-mail without need for a separate e-mail client program, i.e.: Outlook or Outlook Express. I've learned that the Windows 8 "Mail" pane does not support POP3 settings. Instead, the pane must be configured using IMAP settings. Verizon's online support only provides details for POP3 settings. Does anyone have information regarding Verizon's IMAP settings for use with the Windows 8 "Mail" pane? Please share! Thanks. Orbotron1

Verizon mail server is pop
A way round your issue would be to get a free gmail account, which supports imap, and forward you verizon mail to that account.

How can I transfer Outlook Express / Windows Mail settings and contents etc, to Windows Live Mail?

As a system reseller and support provider, I know that this is going to be a major factor for many home users. I know that Windows 7 does not have a mail client by default, and I know that home users will be expected to install Windows Live Essentials.
Windows Easy Transfer doesn't transfer emails, contacts etc from OE/WM (although it will transfer Outlook).
Therefore, what is the easiest way to migrate from OE/WM to WLM?

Here is the complete transfer procedure from OE to WLM:
MAIL BOXES EXPORT
1. Go to Outlook Express > Tools > Maintenance Tab > Store Folder.
2. Make a note of its location and navigate to it. If you haven't moved it, it's here C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{GUID}\Microsoft\Outlook Express. You may have to show 'hidden' files in Folder Options to see it. Close Outlook Express.
3. Copy the whole folder (not just the .dbx files) to an external source. Remove any ‘Read only’ attributes via right-click > Properties.
As an alternative to 2 above, you could move the mail boxes to an ‘easier-to-get-at’ location, i.e. Open My Documents and create a folder named Mail Boxes. Now go to Outlook Express > Tools > Maintenance Tab > Store Folder > Change and type the location of the new folder, e.g. My Docs\Mail Boxes. Close Outlook Express. The store location is now easier to navigate to and it is not hidden.
CONTACTS EXPORT
Go to Outlook Express > File > Export > Address Book and select Comma Separated Values (CSV) > Export, select the fields you want or, for more safety, select all the fields and save it to an external device.
MAIL BOXES IMPORT
Go to Windows Live Mail > File (press Alt if the Menu Bar is not showing) > Import > Messages OE > Next > Browse to the location where they are stored and follow the wizard.
CONTACTS IMPORT
In Windows Live Mail > Click Contacts in the bottom left corner > Menus top right (or Alt+M) > Import > CSV (Comma Separated Values) and browse to the file you exported from Outlook Express.

How can I migrate my junk-mail settings from one Mac to another?

I would like to move my junk mail settings from one Mac to another. I found this article (https://kb.siteground.com/how_to_synchronize_the_junk_email_settings_in_mac_mail /), but can't locate the file indicated in the article, so I suspect that the article is out of date (though it's not dated).
Both machines - MacOS 10.9.5; Mail 7.3.
Any insights much appreciated!
Best,
Doug

Make your user library visible and see if you can find it.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library.

URL links provided in emails (Windows Mail) stopped working. I get a popup message: "Windows cannot find...." asking me to make the URL is correct. I connect to Internet Explorer, but not Firefox, my default browser.

I have already updated Firefox to latest version and reset the default mail program to Windows Mail. But Windows Mail now doesn't want to recognize Firefox. If I shift to Internet Explorer, I have no problem. I have no problem receiving or sending emails, just using links contained in them.
This happened suddenly, two days ago, at the end of a day when linking had been possible, per usual.

nothing that I could find would solve my problem, so I just gave up trying...
then I had a group of Microsoft Updates badly interact with each other, causing me all kinds of stability problems involving SQL and printer drivers.
To fix those issues, I backed out all updates within the prior two months, then [slowly and painfully!] reinstalled them -- when done in groups, you can tell how Microsoft corrects bad updates by noting which ones are not reinstalled.
I also had to download and install every single MS SQL update available before everything that was broken worked again. Note that none of the updates had titles that suggested anything at all to do with web browsing (other than Internet Explorer) or Firefox.
There was also at least one Firefox update shortly after my re-installation of Windows Updates.
Funny thing happened along that path: as of today (version 32.0.1) has none of the problems I reported, but I cannot say for certain which change fixed them: I was far more concerned fixing SQL and printer issues to even test Firefox for default file association settings.
Sorry that I cannot be more useful, other than the general suggestions to:
(1) keep your system fully updated with all patches
(2) keep your anti-virus, anti-malware, and anti-spybot software current as well
(3) keep any program that uses HTML and other browser protocols also up to date
(4) take regular snapshots of your registry, and create a system restore point before every system and software update, so you can more easily back out problems
(5) keep the installation package(s) for prior version(s) of software (and Windows Update files) at least until you verify an update hasn't broken anything.
Hope that helps.

Windows Mail can receive but not send until exiting application

Hi, and thanks for taking time to read this as I’m in need of your help.
I have a Toshiba P200, Vista Home Premium, Tiscali as my ISP, Norton Internet Security for AV and firewall, and am accessing my broadband via Ethernet to a Belkin ADSL router (and occasionally a Siemens router) and I’m experiencing some strange happenings with Windows Mail.
In short I can receive mail with no problems, but when I send the mail it stays in the outbox despite the Send Immediate option being checked or pressing the Send/Receive button. When I exit Windows Mail the mail is sent straight away, and is in the Sent Mail folder when I restart Windows Mail.
So why do I think there’s a problem with the laptop. Well, I’m fortunate enough to have a friend who has an non-Toshiba laptop, where all of the above can be replicated. Guess what, Windows Mail sends the mail exactly as it should (on my Tiscali account and on my network, through my router and ISP etc.), so I conclude that the only difference is that my laptop is a P200.
I have called Tiscali who confirmed that all my Mail settings were OK, POP, SMTP etc, which I’d expect (as they work on my friend’s laptop), and they advised I contact Microsoft, which I did, and since the P200 has Vista pre-installed they say I have to contact Toshiba, and here I am.
My P200 has been restored to factory settings, and I have tried to get this working without Norton IS, and no firewalls (Vista and router), but no luck.
Any ideas would be much appreciated and if I find out by other means, I’ll post back with outcome. If the answer is already out there, I apologise for being too dumb to locate it and beg your patience.
Many thanks.

Hi
It is typical for support people. Every of them try to send the customers away and the reason should be by them. In my opinion Microsofts reaction is strange for me. They have designed operating system and they should be responsible for the functionality.
I have Satellite A200 and Satellite P200D and I use Windows Mail on both of them successfully. My notebook is connected to WLAN router and router directly to the phone line. To be honest I have configured Windows Mail like you and all job were done in few minutes.
It is not easy to say where the problem can be but I believe there is some problem with some settings on your notebook. Some of them block it somehow. To compare your, with friends notebook is also not the best because he can have completely different OS settings (antivir application, firewall settings).
Try to disable all features who can block Windows hotmail to see if there is some difference.

The e-mail message could not be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly

I have a 2 server SharePoint farm.
All outgoing emails were working fine.
I just restarted both servers and now after that none of the emails are being sent. I am using OOB publishing workflow and it shows message:
The e-mail message could not be sent. Make sure the outgoing e-mail settings for the server are configured correctly.
Even if I setup Alert on some list, it doesn't send email.
I have checked that outgoing email setting in CA is defined and like I said it was working fine without problems but after restart it is showing error.
What could be the cause of this and how to fix it?
EDIT
I removed outgoing mail server in CA, added again and restart IIS but still emails from OOB workflow is not being sent. But email from Alerts are being sent. Don't know what to do now.

This is really weird, It works when an alert is set but workflows doesn't send emails... Can you create a simple 1 Step workflow in SPD to send an email when a specific field is set. See if this sends an email..
AJ MCTS: SP 2010 Configuration MCSA: Windows 7 If you find this post useful kindly please mark it as an answer :) TY
I created a test workflow which sends email to user and it is also not sending email. But I am getting email from SharePoint regarding "variation" page changes as well as alerts which I told above.

I can't send email with Adobe acrobat 9.2.0 and Windows mail

Hi, I have the problem mentioned in the subjet: I can't send e-mail with pdf attached from Acrobat 9.2.0...when I click on the envelope acrobat tells me it can't estabilish a link to Windows Mail (latest version).
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.
Massimo.
Ps: I try to use the search funtion but without luck.

Andrea. Just fixed my issue.
This worked for me.
1. I deleted my iCloud account from Mail settings on my iPhone and iPad. Make sure to keep all information in your iPhone
2. I then went back to settings and chose iCloud instead of mail and logged in using my Apple id (.mac). It asks you to merge data (say yes)
3. I went back to Mail setting and then iCloud account. You will notice apple Id reverts back to (.mac) address but if you select Account <apple id> and look under advanced the email address under mail will be your new (.me) address.
Hope this helps. I've been trying for 5 days. Just make sure to add back iCloud through the iCloud settings and not through Mail settings.

Windows Mail server error 501

Every time I foreword an address or web page etc. using the "File" E-Mail Link the following happens. The e-mail is sent but there are five old error messages shown below. The e-mail goes trough but I have to hit the [close] box to clear the sent message. I can't figure out how to remove the old rejected e-mail addresses.
Here is a copy of the message.
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 '*****@picturetrail.comAccount:2051017:return'. Subject 'Account:2051017:return', Account: 'Dave's Mail', Server: 'smtp.att.yahoo.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '501 Syntax error in arguments', Port: 465, Secure(SSL): Yes, Server Error: 501, Error Number: 0x800CCC79

This has nothing to do with Firefox. Mail is being rejected as you have set up your mail in a wrong way with incorrect ports etc.. Please contact the appropriate people for this issue and not here.

ICloud mail settings not saved in System Preferences on Mountain Lion

I note that iCloud mail settings not saved in System Preferences on Mountain Lion even if I tick mail in Icloud then close system preferences then open system preferences and it is untiked again?
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Cheers

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Possible to synchronyse Iphone calendar with Window Mail calendar ?

I am using Windows Mail (default mail software delivered with Window Vista)on my computer and would like to synchronyse Window Mail calendar with my newly acquired Iphone 4. Unfortunately, calendar synchronisation settings proposed by Itunes don't seem to recognize Windows Mail (only Outlook proposed). Is it possible to perform such synchronization with Window Mail and if yes what is the process ?
In addition, would Outlook Express be proposed in the synchronization settings if loaded on the computer ?
Many thank in advance for your answers.

No.
Syncing calendar events is supported with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing contacts and notes.
The iPhone does not sync with Outlook Express or with the Outlook email client. The iPhone supports syncing contacts with the address book app used by Outlook Express with XP, or with the address book app used by Windows Mail with Vista and Windows 7.

Switching from Windows Mail to either Mac Mail.app or Mac Outlook (help!)

Hello,
My wife has been using Windows since forever but I'll be getting her a new Mac next week. I've been using Macs since the Mac Plus so I'm comfortable with her making the switch. The one main question I have is about her email.
I registered a domain for her a number of years ago (she uses POP3) and she uses that domain for her email. She currently uses the basic Windows Mail application (not Outlook). She has a large number of emails filed away into a ton of nested folders in Windows Mail.
I'm debating if I should have her use the Mac's Mail app or if I should but Outlook for Mac for her (part of the Mac Office suite). A few questions:
If I have her use the Mac's Mail app, is there a way for me to export all of her contacts and emails from Windows Mail (including the way all of her emails are organized into folders) and then import those into the Mac's Mail app? (and Contacts)
Does the Mac's Mail app support a lot of folders, nested multiple levels deep? The last time I checked (a number of years ago) it seemed like nested folders to organize downloaded emails was an afterthought at that time.
Any idea how I would go about exporting saved emails and contacts from Windows Mail and import them into either Mac Mail or Mac Outlook?
Thanks!

Mail allows for nested folders and complex rules for automatically filing items into these folders as they're downloaded to your local computer.
Any switch in technology can be a little daunting and annoying at times, before you try transferring a lot of sensitive information let her use Mail.app for a week or so and get to know her way around and feel comfortable with the features, then make a decision on how to import old information.
Outlook for mac is a large complex and expensive piece of software, there are other mail options available in the App store if Mail doesn't cut it.
If she wants to try the new program and you don't want to disrupt your POP3 settings on that domain, try a google account.
I'm not sure how Outlook is made available, but there are many Windows emulation programs if she cannot leave some programs behind.

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.

How do I copy my windows mail contacts to my iPad mini?

how do I copy my windows mail contacts to my iPad mini?

If your contacts are stored in the Windows Mail server i.e Hotmail, now Outlook.com, you can go in the iPad into Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars ->Accounts->Add Account, Tap on Microsoft Hotmail, and add your Windows Live account there, and all your contacts will be synced over.

Yahoo Classic and Windows Mail

Hello,   I am new to this board and NOT a techie, hence my enquiry.
In 2009 I changed PC's and had xferred contents of XP to current Vista including Outlook Express.
A couple of months ago I noticed OE had vanished and replaced by Windows Mail. Fine except address book was missing from WM.   In the last few days I note Windows LIVE mail is also active, but without address book being xferreed.
In general I only used OE in order to xfer mail to Document file since I could not establish how to drag mail from Yahoo classic to documents.     Am I able to xfer address book from yahoo to windows mail.
Many thanks

Open Windows Mail, go to File, Import, Windows Contacts and you should be able to transfer your e-mail contacts and settings. However, it SHOULD have happened automatically !
One thing I'm puzzled about - you should never have been able to use Outlook Express with Vista, as neither it nor Windows 7 have ever supported Outlook Express ( most users are still cursing Microsoft's decision to ditch Outlook Express ).
Good Luck
Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.
