Windows Mail issue

I'm trying to figure out when I actually will receive mail on my iphone. It seems very infrequent that I get my mail....even when I see it show up on my PC. I manually fetch and still nothing shows up in my inbox(even though I have new, unread messages).

If there's port-forwarding and NAT happening in front of this server, launch Terminal.app and verify local DNS with the following harmless diagnostic command:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
The sudo needs an administrative password, might display a one-time message on the use of sudo, then some network details, and finally an indication that no changes are required, or that there are network or DNS issues lurking. Also — and the test doesn't catch this — don't use .local or .arpa as the top-level domain for the server.
DNS server errors cause all sorts of problems with tools further up the stack, including with Open Directory and the Mail Server.

MBA lion Mail issue: window disappears randomly

hello:
Having some MBA 13' mail issues:
1) mail window will disappear (only using cmd+0 shortcut will bring it back - or going to window>message viewer) randomly without any reason
2) starting up a new email or new note then closing this note or email will close the entire message viewer window...why?
3) emails deleted within the 'inbox' section will not delete in the Gmail section (setup as IMAP, with Gmail defaults)
I am a little concerned with 1 & 2 becuase these are huge user experience issues, it is the most frustrating thing to have to continually use the short cut to open up a window which should not have disappeared in the first place!!
any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

Hi Fred
I've got the same issue. It seems to happen randomly but so annoying when it does. Upgrading to Mountain Lion hasn't helped and I've changed my keyboard and reset all the short-cuts to the default settings and still it happens in Mail and Microsoft Outlook for Mac when I'm typing a mail.
Did you find a solution?

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

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

Desktop SMS and Windows Mail don't work properly together

Hi
thought I would post there here as been having some issues with my Windows Mail but my desktop computer doesn't suffer same issues and on a Vista forum where I posted my problem a couple of very helpful told me who to try solving the issues.
One of them suddenly realised I'd said my laptop was a Toshiba and apparently the Desktop SMS and Windows Mail just don't work properly together so the person suggested unless I use it to uninstall it apparently amongst the technically trained its known that these two programs don't like each other and would explain why my desktop doesn't have the issue but laptop does.
After resetting the Windows Mail (tutorial on a vista site http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/) Touch wood don't be put off by vistax64 as site does both 32 and 64 and followed Brink's excellent resetting Windows Mail (didn't restore any mail) and then uninstalled Desktop SMS and touch wood no more mail issues as has been giving me problems virtually daily with marking draft emails as read/sent.
So had to click on forward then delete those bits and finish email to send it and touch wood since doing these two things as soon as send an email to draft or outbox get the number of emails in the brackets whereas before this wouldn't happen unless I closed the program then reopened it.
Hoping these solutions have fixed my problem and wanted to share it with anybody else who wants to read this thread and would recommend the Vista 64 site as they're all really helpful over there and speak in non technical terms for those of us not technically trained.

I have marked this as answered as it was more a post to help others who may have experienced the same problem I did and didn't get a reply or just didn't know that this program could be the reason their Windows Mail has issues that can't seem to be resolved any other way apart from ignore them and hope they don't get worse.

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.

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 App not Auto Syncing

Hey guys, I'm having an issue with the Windows Mail app on both my laptop and Surface RT. I'm running 8.1 on both and I've recently ditched Gmail in favor of Outlook.com. Right now my Gmail accounts are forwarding to Outlook. However, I still sign in to
my computers using my Gmail account (not sure if that matters). Ever since I eliminated my Gmail accounts from the Windows mail app, the app will not automatically sync with Outlook.com when I receive messages. The only time I get updates is if I manually
sync. Yes, I have set the email account to "download as items arrive". I have restarted my computers, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the mail app. Not sure what else to do. Help!

Hi,
Accrording to your description,the issue occurred on both your laptop and Surface RT.
So,I think the issue isn't related to Windows mail app.
In addition to ZigZag3143x mentioned, I suggest you create a new mail account to test this issue.
If it works,I suggest you remove your outlook.com account and re-add it.
Regards,

Can't send email in Windows Mail

On May 12th I was unable to send emails under Windows mail. It would come back with an error message of "0X800CCC0F". In my account I'm using (POP3) incoming.yahoo.verizon.net and (SMTP) outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net.
My SMTP port is 25 and my POP3 port is 110. I receive emails but can't send any. If I go to Verizon's email site I can send myself emails and receive them. I don't like Verizon's setup so I've used Windows Mail with Vista and Outlook with Windows ME without any problems. I've tried changing port numbers and checking and unchecking SSl and SPA until I'm not quite sure where I was originally. Something must have changed 5 days ago but I not sure how to fix it. Any suggestions would be most gratefully received.

Glad to know I'm not the only one. Around the same date I began having the same issues (right after Microsoft installed updates). I use Vista and have had this problem ONLY with Verizon ISP every month, at least once a month. This time, it hasn't stopped since the 12th.
Due to this, I finally gave up and ran the Verizon In Home Agent, which Norton suggested I do not do. I should have listened to Norton. The IHA lists that I have two Outlook email address, both of which are the same. I checked my Outlook and I only have one listed. BUT, since I used the IHA I now receive emails twice and can't send any at all unless I use Webmail. The IHA says there are no problems with my email, but I still can't send.
If you figure out the resolution to this, I'd love to know....and I will definitely try the link to Microsoft that someone already listed. I can't use the Windows Mail or Outlook to send.

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.

How do I retrieve emails from windows mail after a crash?

I've just had to reload vista & all my old files are stored in a folder called 'windows.old' inlcuding a windows mail folder. I'm trying to retrieve all the emails that were in windows mail before everything crashed on me, does anybody know how to do this?
Thanks in advance

I agree with Akuma. It is definitely not Toshiba related issue and you should try to check some Microsoft forum and try to find final answer.

Windows mail - Reader cannot find pdf attachment

I receive emails with pdf attachments. I double click the attachment and receive an error message from Adobe Reader that says "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found".
There are no special characters in the pdf title.
The windows mail option "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" is NOT checked.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader.
All help gratefully accepted.

This issue got on my last nerve for three week with the advent of a new Dell One running Vista Ultimate/WIndows Mail and Adobe Pro Extended 9.
I googled and found a post by Greg Hughs; his fix worked like a champ.
Here goes;
Open up Acrobat; click on edit/preferences; choose Internet uncheck display PDF in browser under web browser options.
That's it.
Hope it works for you!

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

Windows Mail or Adobe E-mail Service pros / cons ?

With PSE 8 photo sharing by email attachment or photo mail requires a selection (via organizer > edit > preferences > sharing) of Adobe E-mail Service or Windows Mail. What are the pros and cons in making this selection? Side question : Is Windows Live Mail the same as Windows Mail?

A mail client is not bundled with Windows 7, therefore on has to install one. Widows Live Mail is a free download from Microsoft. It performs well.
My workflow is to right click a picture file, go to Send to>Mail recipient, or attach to the e-mail message from within Live Mail
Perhaps someone else with experience with Adobe e-mail service will address this issue.
