Windows Live Mail in Elements 9

Since changing to Windows 7, PSE 9 is not able to send a photo by email. The message comes up that it cannot finish preparing the photo to send. It also will not allow text to be written in the alternative Photoshop mail window. Does it need an update or patch to work?

I don't know anything about PSE9 because I have never used it but in PSE10, there was an option to select a mail client to send the photo as attachment as shown in this picture:
I am now using PSE 11 and it too has a settings to select a default mail client for sharing photos:
Hope this gives you some ideas to see if PSE9 has this option.
Good luck.

I cannot send an email with attachment from elements 11 via windows live mail 2012 on my windows 8.1 pc. Can anyone help?

I am using elements 11, windows live mail 2012 on a windows 8.1 PC. When trying to attach an elements 11 image to an email via the sharing option in Organizer, I get a message that the email message cannot be completed, and to try Adobe mail. I have set preferences to windows live mail, but no success.

Hi,
With Windows 8, the new message sometimes hides in the taskbar
When you see the spinning circle, look at the taskbar to see if the Windows Live Mail has grown another task. Hover over the icon on the taskbar to shown the two images, right click on the right hand image and then select maximize. That should show the message ready for sending.
Good luck.

Photoshop Elements and Windows Live Mail :(

Had Adobe come out with a patch yet to fix their oversight regarding WLM? Windows 7 had WLM and you can't get PE to send photos to WLM. It's very disappointing. I hate to abandon my favorite photo email software for something that works...... but looks like I'll have to.
ADOBE PEOPLE - PLEASE HELP.

Problem with Photoshop Elements 8 an Windows Live Mail...

i get the message that Elements Organizer can not send E-Mail Messages (with Windows Live Mail).
What could be the reason? I work with Photoshop Elements 8 and with Windows Live Mail (11). The OS is Windows 2012
Has someone a idea why it does not work?
Thanks

Hi,
None of the Windows versions currently support Outlook 64bit. I think it is mainly due the problems associated with 32bit applications (like PSE) talking to 64bit applications. Maybe things may change if PSE ever gets a 64bit version for Windows.
I have Outlook 32bit and that works with PSE 8.
Microsoft actually recommends installing the 32bit version of Office to avoid incomparability problems with other applications so I don't think that PSE is unique.

Is PS Elements 12.0 compatible with Windows 7 and Windows Live Mail??

Is the Organize/eMail part of Elements 12.0 compatible with my Windows 7 and Windows Live Mail? I have never been able to make it work with my Elements 9.0 after many hours of trying. The problem is acknowledged by Adobe and a solution offered but the solution does not work in any of my three Windows 7 computers. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Brian, Thank you for responding. I actually have two different questions on the same topic so I'll discuss them one at a time.
1. When I purchased a new Windows 7 computer several years ago I also purchased PSE 9.0 because I had been told my old PSE 4.0 would not work with W7. I didn't get around to installing it until last fall--PSE 4.0 was working fine on the XP machine and I didn't have the time. PSE 9.0 installed fine but I could not email a photo from the Organizer. I recently got interested in fixing the problem which has turned out to be more difficult than I could imagine. I found a lot of evidence on the web that to make it work with W7/Windows Live Mail you needed to make some patches in the registry. I tried to follow the Adobe instruction a number of times but when I got down to: " 4. On your desktop, double-click SetDefaultEmailClient.reg. If prompted, click Continue. Click Yes on the Registry Editor confirmation prompt." it would not work. Double clicking would bring up the browser with some register-like statements: [Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft Internet Mail Message] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft Internet Mail Message\shell] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft Internet Mail Message\shell\open] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft Internet Mail Message\shell\open\command] @="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Live\\Mail\\wlmail.exe /mailurl:%1" ]. I did not get a "Continue" to click on or a "Yes on the Registry Editor confirmation prompt". I got nothing to take action on that might cause the registry to be updated with the specified patches. I'm no expert on modifying the registry and this is beyond my understanding. It just didn't do what it implied it would and I'm lost. I've tried in on my WLM 2011 computer and on my brand new W7 notebook computer with WLM 2012. I tried it using my normal browser, Firefox, and using Internet Explorer.
PSE 9.0 does indeed show Windows Live Mail as an option under Edit/Preferences/Sharing and I have selected it. When I try to share a photo via email all seems to go normally to the end when I get the message: "Elements Organizer could not finish creating your E-mail message." And, that is really not very helpful. When I Google on that "Elements Organizer could not finish creating your E-mail message" I find that I'm far from being the only one with this problem and people with PSE 8.0, PSE 10.0 and PSE 11.0 have reported the problem. I've found no way to communicate with Adobe and even their main support number, 800-883-6687, comes on with a message "this number is temporarily unavailable"!! I've called over 50 times over several days. That seems quite unusual. It seems like selling a software product that is incompatible with one of the most popular Microsoft operating systems and email clients would not be a good thing. Sorry for all the words but I wanted to define the situation as well as I can.
2. Given all of the time I've I spent without solving the problem it seemed tossing my PSE 9.0 and switching to PSE 12.0 might have been a smart move many months ago. And, I'm considering it now. That is why I really would like to get some assurance from Adobe that the problem is fixed and that I will have no problems with PSE 12.0, at least with emailing from the Organizer. The news that it is working for you is encouraging and I hope others will report on the luck they have had. You say it works better with WLM 2012 than with WLM 2011 but I don't know what that means. It seems that the minimum requirement is that any time you want to send a photo via email, it works!
If anyone knows how you can contact Adobe, by phone or email, please let me know.
Thank you very much, Brian.

IS PSE8 compatible with Windows Live Mail

Before installing W7+WLM I was able to share my photos using the "Photo Mail" feature with Outlook Express.
Now in W7, I use Windows Live Mail (since OE seems to be replaced with this email program) but I'm not able to use it to send photo emails.
After selecting the photos in the "photo mail" feature, and right before the photo email is supposed to pop up, I get this error message:
"Elements Organizer could not finish creating your E-mail message.
Alternatively, you can use the Adobe E-mail Service via the Elements Organizer Preferences dialog."
In the preference/sharing tab, I get two options: "Windows Mail" and "Adobe Mail"; I do not see "Windows Live Mail".
What am I doing wrong?
Is PSE8 compatible with Windows Live Mail?

Thank for your reply, V.
You are implying that Windows Live Mail is not supported by PSE8... is this the case?

Windows Live Mail

I have just upgraded to Windows 7 and installed Live Mail as Outlook Express is not included. I still use PSE 5 (OK I know I should upgrade) and now get the message
'Photoshp Elements could not finish creating your email message'.
How do I change my Sharing preferences from 'Windows Mail' to make it possible to share photos with my own email again?
Mike R

Yes, but the new free optional extra required for Windows 7 is windows Live
Mail, which is not packaged with the OS. Outlook Express is not supported
by Windows 7.
It appears that PE does not support Windows Live Mail so I am being forced
to use the Adobe email. That is not the end of the world but it is
annoying.

Windows Live Mail 2011 & PSE9

I raised a query with Adobe and was told that Windows7/64bit/WLM 2011 works with PSE9. However
I am also reading in this forum that it does not support WLM2011 ... see below
Which is correct ... I need to know before I part with money to purchase PSE9.
Nov 5, 2010 1:07 PM in response to: lorainechubb Re: PSE9 and Windows Live Mail - Help
Adobe have had problems with the Windows 7 email client ever since they issued a patch for PSE8.
Furthermore it will not work with 64 bit editions of Outlook, to the disappointment of many but you would think they would have sorted out Live Mail before launching PSE9. The product help screens are entirely misleading.
Both PSE8 and PSE9 are said to be Windows 7 compatible, but in reality they aren’t. Even after downloading the patch Adobe customers are still reporting problems.
If you are using a purchased copy of PSE9, rather than the trial I would suggest you raise a ticket with the support team and claim your entitlement to help with a solution.

Thanks for your replies.
I guess that waiting for PSE10 is the best route. Seems difficult to get direct answers about the compatability of Windows Live Mail 2011 ... Adobe say OK but no forum user reply (that I have found) seems to agree? My WLM is completely 'as offered' by Microsoft and up to date and I am sure that there are many 100's/1000's of Elements users who have the same setup as myself eg Windows7/64bit. To them I ask for a reply 'it works/it does not work'.
Maybe a 'trial' is the best route. But I am not keen on a 'suck it and see' solution. It works or it does not on 'standard installations'.
Thanks again.

PSE9 and Windows Live Mail - Help

I am trying to send photos via "Share" email attachement and Windows Live Mail. I get to the part where you are supposed to be sent to WLM, and then it comes up with the error message "Elements Organizer could not finish creating your e-mail message. Alternately, you can use Adobe E-mail Service via the Elements organizer preference dialog." WLM has been selected as the mail server in the preferences section of Elements, and also in Windows 7.
I don't want to send mail through Adobe E-mail Service, but I did try that. I get to the same spot, and the entire program crashes.
Furstrated!

PSE 9 and Windows Live Mail

I followed the the tutorial to direct photos for Emailing to my Windows Live Mail account.
Instead of doing this, a dialogue box appears that states " Elements Organizer could not finish creating your Email message".
How can I fix this?
Another question: How do I get the Organizer toolbar to appear? The File, Edit etc tabs appear to be hidden.
I have "The Missing Manual" on order, but thought I would give this forum a try while I am waiting.

Why doesn't adobe email show that I have sent the email in my sent box?
Because the email wasn't actually sent by Windows Live Mail. PSE sent the message directly to Adobe's email servers, which then delivered it to the recipients, and it was never handled by Windows Live Mail. If you want a copy, you'll need to cc yourself.
Many people have complained that PSE 8 doesn't support Windows Live Mail, but Adobe doesn't seem to care.

Photo Mail using windows live mail?

I have been using photoshop elements8 classroom in a book and have run into an area that I can't seem to accomplish. I am trying to send a pic using photo mail and getting a message elements organizer could not finish creating my e-mail message. I also tried using the alternate adobe e-mail service and get a responce that there is no e-mail program associated to perform the requested action. I am using window's 7 and windows live mail. Any help would be appreciated. Thanking you all in advance for your time and help.

I had the same problem with WLM and windows 7 and may have a solution for you. I have documented it in the discussion forum here http://forums.adobe.com/message/3284248

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.

Can I use iCloud to copy all the emails from the iPhone to Windows Live Mail on my PC?

My Windows 8 OS got trashed and I had to "refresh" it which involved losing all my Windows Live Mail emails (i.e. *.eml files in %AppData%). I have a backup from 18 months ago and most of my recent emails are on my phone.
Is there a way I can copy (en masse) the emails from my iPhone to my Windows Live Mail on my PC?
Thanks in advance.

Please ignore this question. Or tell me how to delete it.

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.

Do you copyemail from a PC running windows live mail? I have attempted to use Thunderbird and was successful in converting the live mail files to Mbox format but when I tried to import these files to the Mac only one message from each file was shown.

I am having a problem trying to migrate some old email messages from a PC running Windows live mail.
I downloaded Thunderbird to the PC and imported the email messages and folders into Thunderbird and was able to create Mbox files for all the folders and messages. I copied these files to a usb stick and then tried to export the folders and messages to my iMac running Lion. It appeared to copy the folders to the Mac but only one message per folder was placed on the computer. Does anyone have any ideas on how I should proceed to copy these email messages over? Thanks.
