Windows Live Mail Storage Structure in Win Explorer not the same as folder Structure in WLM

How do i make the storage folder structure in Win7 Windows Explorer reflect EXACTLY how i have my email folders structured in WLM? I have several sub-folders in WLM that don't appear in the Win7 Windows Explorer folder structure, and Windows Explorer has
several folders i deleted from WLM months ago. It makes backing up and reinstalling an absolute nightmare. What's the problem? I'll never find this page again, so kindly email me an answer at [email protected] Thx

Please repost your query in the more appropriate Windows Community forums here..

Note however that the WLM 'file structure' is essentially different to the Windows file structure, so what you appear to want to do may not be possible.

  • 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.

  • Windows Firewall issue, Inbound rule opend all, still not the same as turning off

    This is Windows Firewall issue on Windows 8.1 Pro. 
    Backup Exec server cannot expand a computer node in selection list. I drill down to Microsoft Windows Network/Domain/Computers, then when I tried to expand a Windows 8.1 Pro computer node, it hangs out. 
    I narrowed this problem to Windows firewall related issue on Windows 8.1 Pro computer. 
    When I turn off Windows Firewall on Domain profile, Backup Exec Selection expands the computer node of the Windows 8.1 Pro computer. So, I created an inbound rule opening all to BAckup Exec server as following, but it's still not the same as turning off
    Windows firewall specifically on Windows 8.1 Pro computer;
    Any Local IP address, Any Remote IP address, Any port, Any protocol, All Interface, All Programs and Services, All profiles(Domain, Private, Public)
    And there are no rules blocking any which may override the above rule. 
    Ethernet on Windows 8.1 Pro computer shows profile is linked with Domain, but just to make it work, I selected all profiles.
    Even though I opened all available in inbound rule, it's still not the same as turning off windows firewall. Why am I missing? 

    It looks as something related to RPC(UDP 135), but even when inbound rule is all open, why it matters? RPC seems working fine only when firewall is turned off on domain profile. 
    Protocol 17 is UDP

  • Lost emails on Windows Live Mail

    I have been using Windows Live Mail on my notebook for my emails.
    I have several folders with loads of saved messages but for some reason when I've logged on today I have nothing showing and I've done nothing that I know of to affect this.
    How do I go about recovering what has been lost?
    Thanks
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Log in to Windows Live Mail using your web browser and not the stand-alone app that is part of Windows Live Essentials. If your stuff is gone from there, it's gone for good and you probably won't get it back without Microsoft recovering it from their servers.

  • 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.

  • Syncing iphone calendar with Windows Live Mail

    Hi guys - I just upraded to Windows 7 and I'm looking to see if it's possible to sync the calendar with the Windows Live Mail calendar? I'm thinking the only option at this time is MS Outlook, but just thought I'd ask. I searched and read through 3 other similar questions on here but didn't find any answer, hence the new post. Thanks!

    Microsoft copied Google and now supports accessing a Hotmail or Windows Live Mail account as an Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail app. This provides Push access for received messages and for syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with the account on your iPhone.
    For syncing calendar events direct with an application on your computer via the iTunes sync process, you need Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010.
    I understand your second statement about the needing Outlook - but I'm trying to reconcile it with your first paragraph - there is support for calendar events over the air between Windows Live and iPhone? So it can be done, just not physically through syncing via iTunes?

  • 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...

  • Contacts Sync with Windows Live Mail 2011

    I'm using Windows 7 with the Windows Live Mail 2011 desktop application for email and contacts. Is it possible to sync the contacts in my Windows Live Mail 2011 application with my iPhone (iOS v4) using iTunes?
    In Windows Vista, I used Windows Mail which stored contacts data in the Contacts folder within my profile (c:\users\username\contacts). These contacts did sync with my iPhone without any problems. Windows 7 doesn't have an email application built-in so, I'm using Windows Live Mail 2011. Windows Live Mail 2011 doesn't store contacts in the Contacts folder within my profile though. Is there anyway to sync my iPhone with my Windows Live Mail 2011 contacts?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Found this with a quick Google search:
    To sync contacts with your computer, choose Sync Contacts on your Windows-based PC, or Sync Contacts with Address Book on your Mac.
    You can sync your contacts with:
    * Microsoft Outlook 2003 or Microsoft Outlook 2007 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7)
    * Windows Address Book (Windows XP and Windows Vista)
    * Address Book (Mac OS X v10.4.11 or later)
    * Microsoft Entourage 2004 or Microsoft Entourage 2008
    So it looks like the answer is no, you can't sync your contacts with Windows Live Mail 2011.

  • 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.

  • How do I sync with windows live mail 2011?

    how Do I sync to windows live mail/contacts/calendar (not hotmail) on iphone4?

    Windoze live mail is basically hotmail.
    Microsoft followed Google's lead in this regard and now supports accessing a Hotmail or Windows Live Mail account as an Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail app. This provides for push access for received messages, and over the air syncing for contacts and calendar events with your Windows Live Mail online contacts and calendars.  Instructions for doing this should be available via the Live Mail website.

  • 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.

  • 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.
