Hi.
If you have any anti-virus or other security packages, have a look at any of their settings to see if email scanning is turned on. If so, turn it off and see if that helps.
You may like to edit the post to remove the account name, as this may be an email address portion ....

  • ITunes sync with 'Windows Live Mail' / (not local Windows Contacts))?

    Are there any plans to add an option in the 'Info' panel's sync contacts choice dropdown for 'Windows Live Mail'?
    There's currently "windows contacts", "outlook", and "Yahoo! address book" for contacts sync choices.
    Problem is, in Vista, there's no more outlook express.
    I used to sync iPhone to windows address book in iTunes, then in OE, you could add your hotmail account, then open 'address book', click tools/synchronize, and it would sync your windows address book with your online hotmail one.
    Now in Vista, no more OE, there is Windows Mail(uses local 'windows contacts') and you can download 'Windows Live Mail' but it uses hotmail's online address book exclusively..
    ..and iTunes doesn't give the choice of 'Windows Live Mail' for contact sync.
    so im not able to sync contacts between iPhone and Hotmail anymore.
    Ideas?

    yup what? I asked a question...

  • 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)

  • ITunes for Windows 7 64 bit, Windows Live Mail Contacts not (all?) syncing

    I have researched this as much as I can but cannot find a solution.
    I had my iPhone 4 synced to my Window Vista Home Premium PC using iTunes just fine until January when the PC motherboard crashed. No data was lost and all contacts have been restored to my new PC with is Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit). My contacts are in Windows Live Mail (Windows Contacts) and I'm syncing via iTunes with "Sync Contacts with: Windows Contacts" selected.
    However, not all contacts are syncing with my iPhone. In fact, I'm not sure they are syncing at all, although the sync function goes through. It may be that the only ones that sync are those that existed before the new PC (i.e., the Windows Vista contacts which were in Windows Mail). I have created new contacts on both the PC using the new version Windows Live Mail and on the iPhone since the crash, and would like to get them synced up.
    Symptoms:
    1) Some specific contacts on PC are not on the iPhone after multiple sync attempts.
    I have so far positively identified one contact that did not sync. It shows in Windows Live Mail under Contacts, however it does NOT show up in my Windows username/Contacts folder!
    2) One Contacts group on PC is not on the iPhone, although two others are (they probably were from before the crash).
    I have so far positively identified one group that did not sync. It shows in Windows Live Mail under Contacts groups, however it does NOT show up in my Contacts folder as a .group file!
    3) The same group as #2 also does NOT show up in the iTunes group list under "Selected Groups" on iTunes, but the other two groups do. (I do not use "selected groups" because that disables "all contacts" syncing, but the groups are visible grayed out on the list.)
    4) As a test, I created a new contact on my iPhone, synced, and it shows up now in Windows Live Mail Contacts; it also shows up in my Windows username/Contacts folder.
    5) As a test, I created a new contact in Windows Live Mail and it does NOT show up in my username/Contacts folder. I synced the iPhone again and it does NOT show up on my iPhone contacts.
    OK folks, where are these missing contacts going and how can I get them synced??  Thanks!
    PS: I have the latest iTunes 10.5.3.3, no updates are available. However, Apple Support/iTunes seems to suggest Windows 7 64 bit either "does not use Windows Contacts" (which seemed quite wrong until I ran the tests above), and also that Windows 7 64 requires iTunes 10.4.1, which I cannot install because I have a later version installed. I would have assumed the correct version installed for my OS when I installed iTunes on the new PC. iTunes runs fine by itself and in coordination with my iPhone other than the above issue.
    PPS: This site seems potentially relevant, however is highly technical: http://liveunplugged.wordpress.com/2011/02/04/windows-live-mail-contacts-databas e/
    but doesn't help with this problem.

    I didn't get any help on this from the forum, but from studying around and experimenting with different approaches, I have come up with the following conclusions:
    Under Windows Vista, Windows Mail synced its contacts with Windows Contacts [which are in c:\users\username\contacts]. iPhone via iTunes synced with Windows Contacts. Changes to either Windows Mail Contacts or iPhone contacts would always update each other. Life was good.
    Under Windows 7, Windows LIVE Mail (WLM) does NOT sync its contacts with Windows Contacts. It puts them into a hidden database. If you have prior Windows Contacts and brought them along for the ride, they are still there in the folder but they are not connected to the WLM contacts database
    When you first set up Windows Live Mail, you can import your Windows Contacts and they appear to be synced. (In fact, they are, but only at that single point in time.)
    If you change any Windows Live Mail contact or add a new one, it does NOT change in Windows Contacts. It only changes in the WLM contacts database. It therefore does NOT sync to your iPhone.
    Similarly, if you change a contact on iPhone or add a new one, it will sync with Windows Contacts. However, this does NOT update your Windows Live Contacts.
    So, from what I can tell, here is what this means: to maintain a steady state, you have two choices:
    Whenever you update or add a contact, add it in either iPhone or Windows Contacts [the Windows Contacts folder has a "New Contact" button], and they will stay in sync with each other. Then manually update or add it in Windows Live Contacts to keep those up to date so you can use them for e-mail.  OR
    Whenever you update or add a contact, add it in either iPhone or Windows Contacts, and they will stay in sync with each other. DO NOT manually update Windows Live Contacts, but realize they are not always up to date. If an address needed for an e-mail is not in there, manually retrieve it from your Windows Contacts or your iPhone and insert it into the e-mail. [Having done that, you can right click on the address in the e-mail and add it to your WLM contacts if you want.] Periodically, manually delete all of your Windows Live Mail Contacts and then re-import your Windows Contacts into Windows Live Mail and, voila, your contacts are in sync again! (Isn't that great, I mean really awful??)
    NOTE: If you follow course #2, DO NOT import your Windows Contacts into Windows Live Mail contacts without deleting your existing Windows Live Mail contacts, or you will end up with a double set plus the new ones.
    FURTHER NOTE: I obviously can't make any guarantee you won't lose data if you follow course #2. Be sure you have a complete backup before deleting your WLM contacts. However, I will say that after experiencing a double set of WLM contacts (by failing to understand the first NOTE above), it was impossible to pick out the new items [WLM will now show you the date of entry or modification of the contact, so you can't sort by date], so I deleted all of them and re-imported my Windows Contacts and had a complete set again.
    AND ONE FINAL NOTE: I have not tested how any of this affects Windows Live Contacts used online outside of Windows Live Mail, because I do not use Windows Live online.
    Please post further comments if you have any more information on this topic.

  • Pdf files wil not open under Windows Live Mail

    PDF Files will not open in WIndows Live Mail. I deinstalled Adobe Reader and reinstalled a more recent version but to no avail. It will open very well using WIndows explorer or when opening the reader. Any clues someone?

    WLM is version 2009 14.0.8117.0416. I'm running under Vista and all other more recent versions are not compatible. The file association has been made and I can open all pdf files in Windows explorer. Under Outlook mail it works as well. It worked until recently when I loaded a program that was supposed to convert pdf files to Word but that did not work so I had to deinstall it and redo the file association. It worked everywher except in WLM.

  • Windows Live Mail ?   Links to this forum not working correctly.

    I got a new computer running Windows 7 and have been using Windows Live Mail.
    This is where I get my e-mails for updates to messages on this forum.
    The link for the message thread has a link that includes the # sign with the correct message to go to on the page.
    Now with Windows Live when I click the link it leaves the number after the # sign and just goes to the top of the thread instead to the exact comment.
    I can copy and paste the link into a browser and it works fine but if I just click it it does not work like it used to with Outlook Express.
    Any ideas if this might be fixable.
    Thanks:  GLenn

    I still have outlook express running on my OLD SLOW windows XP
    My new Windows 7 only has Windows Live Mail so I have to use it unless I get another program.
    I just thought that someone here might have figured it out.
    I dont know what the extra part after the # sign is called so i havent been luck searching google for an answer.
    Here is the link to your message:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2965072#2965072
    but when I click it it just puts this link in the browser:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2965072
    it does work but just takes me to the top of the thread.
    Im not sure why it doesnt use the part with the # and number that follows it.
    It does see it and if hover over it it sees the whole link.
    Just something new to figure out.
    I will try a Windows Live Forum too but if anyone knows any hints that would be great too.
    Thanks:  GLenn

    windows live mail having problem after joining in domain examples incoming is good but sent or outgoing is not there and also send mails are not exporting at the time of live mail exporting time?

    This is not usually related to AD issues, but it may be more of a DNS issue. I posted a request in your other thread to post an unedited ipconfig /all of the DC and of the client.
    This may help use diagnose this issue and your other thread's printer issues.

  • Clicking on an e-mail address will NOT open Windows Live Mail which is already the default mail program which is already set as the default mail program

    Clicking on an e-mail address will NOT open Windows Live Mail. Windows Live mail is already set as my default e-mail program.

    Sorry you're having this problem. I think it was previously reported only by Windows XP users.
    When you reinstall, were you making Firefox your default browser? Some users have reported that ''not'' making Firefox the default browser was an effective workaround.
    However, you may have success with this approach, suggested by a user in another thread, which appears to more thoroughly update the Windows registry:
    # Open Adobe Reader / Acrobat
    # Edit->Preferences
    # In the Categories column click 'General'
    # Near the bottom of the page click the button marked 'Select Default PDF Handler'
    # In the dialog, select 'Adobe Reader XI' (or Adobe Acrobat, as the case may be) and click 'Apply'
    # A Windows Configuration screen will appear. Allow it to do its stuff (takes a few minutes), then restart your computer when prompted.
    Does that resolve the issue for you?

  • Windows Live Mail could not be started .... Your Calendar contains corrupt data .... ox8000fff

    I downloaded the Windows Live Essentials for Windows 7 running under Parallels 5.0.9310.  When I try to bring up Windows Live Mail I receive the 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.  (ox8000fff).
    I have:
    1.  Done a repair via control panel
    2.  Deinstalled just mail from the control panel, removed the registry entries for Windows Live Mail in hkey_current_user and hkey_local_machine.
    3.  Reinstalled just mail.
    Nothing seems to work.  I am still getting the error.

    Hi Caprichoso,
    Since it is to be more of Windows Live Mail issue, I kindly recommend you to contact Windows Live Mail Technical Support Team for a specific solution. Here I would like to share the following method based on my research:
    You can click Start, click Control Panel and click Clock, Language, and Region, click Date and Time, click Change time zone and uncheck the box in front of “Automatically adjust clock for Daylight Saving Time”, click OK twice.
    Best Regards

  • 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.

  • BTInternet - Folders not in Windows Live Mail

    I have managed at last to get my Yahoo / BTinternet mail account working with Windows Live Mail sending and receiving mail however the 30 or so folders i have in BTyahoo mail do not appear in Windows Live Mail so I cannot access the emails.  I can only see the main folders such as Inbox, drafts,Sent,Junk and deleted.
    How can i get WLM to recognise/show the folders

    The simple answer is that you can`t. A POP3 mail client can only read the Inbox, the rest are simply local folders which do not appear on webmail.
    If you want to read all folders you have to configure Windows Live to use IMAP and not POP3.
    There are instructions here

  • Firefox w/Win 7 and Windows Live Mail does not auto-hyperlink from Send Link. I know cut-and-paste. Is there fix?

    On other computer, w/Vista, Windows Mail, clicking Send Link works perfectly, providing one click hyperlink. Running latest Firefox on both computers. Made Windows Live Mail default email. No help. Uninstalled Windows Live Mail and switched to thunderbird, made default. Didn't work.

    I'm searching for a solution as well.
    For now, when the compose message windows opens with the plain text link, I just click anywhere in the body of the message below the text. This will place the cursor at the end of the link. I then hit Enter, and the hyperlink becomes active.
