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.

  • 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.

  • Classic and aol mail

    Dear All,
    This is the tip of an iceberg: I was surfing and had an interesting crash. More later on Monday.
    Short question:
    Is it my newbie fault? The website? My little olde classic blueberry?
    All the best,
    Irene

    Hi Irene!
    How is "Classic and aol mail" involved in this
    issue?
    ali b
    Dear Ali B (Borat?...lol),
    Thanks for the reply. More iceberg:
    The odd crash occurred when I had:
    1. Had itunes on
    2. Had AIM on
    3. Had Netscape on
    This is what I did:
    1. Checked mail status from my AIM, it whistles
    2. Click on link of my email at AOL
    3. Netscape page opens to blah blah blah and
    http://classic.webmail.aol.com
    4. Click on that link
    5. Do mail stuff...so far so good, everything copacetic.
    However, this is what I did next:
    I clicked on the AOL.com icon at the top of the page to see what I might still be able to see on the AOL site. During that brief foray (I don't remember precisely which page I was looking at, but it may have simply been the home page)
    1. My cursor froze
    2. I pressed the green power button for it to restart (and repair
    3. (I didn't watch the restart)
    4. When I went back to my computer, it looked restarted.
    5. However the cursor didn't move, so I pressed green again and watched it restart (no repairing).
    Now, I'm back to answering emails. AIM up, no itunes yet, not trying to repeat my crash and wait patiently for any more help.
    All the best,
    Irene

  • Synchronization Problems with BlackBerry Desktop Manager 4.5v and Windows Mail Client

    BlackBerry (RIM) Desktop Manager 4.5v synchronization setup does not work properly. I cannot synchronize my desktop calendar because the only desktop application formats available are (<None>, Ascii Import/Export and Yahoo), Windows Mail is not an option!
    I contacted BlackBerry and the only response I received was that I need the Outlook Express program to synchronize my desktop calendar.
    Microsoft upgraded from the Outlook program to Windows mail to provide a better program, which I happen to like! The idea of purchasing the Outlook Express software when there is nothing wrong with my current mail program does not make any sense to me! And will BlackBerry support any Vista system issues if there are any compatibility problems with the old Microsoft mail client?
    Has anyone contacted BlackBerry about this issue? Any ideas how to fix this problem?
    Why can’t Blackberry (RIM) resolve the synchronization issue? In addition to this problem, you may find that the Desktop Manager Device Switch Wizard does not function with the Treo 650 and BlackBerry 8830 and the Advanced feature in Backup and Restore does not seem to save the any files that you want to restore.
    BlackBerry Please Help!
    Note:
    Microsoft Office Standard 2007 is $399, really expensive! Not sure if you can purchase the mail client separately.
    - Microsoft website: [“Outlook Express has been replaced by Windows Mail, an improved e‑mail program with enhancements such as junk e‑mail filtering and protection against phishing messages.”]

    Hello My8830
    You can only synchronize contacts with Windows Mail - you can not synchronize calendar, memos, or tasks.  Outlook express does not have these items, and the version of Windows Mail that I am running also does not have them.  Windows Calendar is seperate from windows mail on my version of Vista.
    So to clarify it all, downgrading to Outlook Express will still not get you calendar synchronization as it does not have a calendar.
    Cheers

  • 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.

  • RoadRunner and Windows Mail

    I went from DSL to RR and now I  am having trouble with setting up Windows  Mail  to get email.  I use  pop-server.nc.rr.com for the incoming server and smtp-server.nc.rr.com  for the outgoing per roadrunner's sight.  I get the following:
    The host 'pop-server.domain.nc.rr.com' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly.
     Account: 'Road Runner', Server: 'pop-server.domain.nc.rr.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D
    I chatted with RR  support and they sent me to MS.  I am able to get on the internet on all computers using a WRT54G router.  I  reset the router and used the setup CD from Linksys. 

    I think this is a Windows problem and not a Router problem.
    Check the Windows Mail configuration again. Windows Mail seems to connect to pop-server.domain.nc.rr.com instead of pop-server.nc.rr.com. Did you ever enter "pop-server.domain.nc.rr.com" somewhere? If you cannot find it, you could also search the registry for pop-server.domain.nc.rr.com.

  • Hotmail and Yahoo Incoming and Outgoing Mail Servers

    Does anyone know what the incoming and outgoing mail servers are for hotmail and yahoo? I'm trying to put them into my mail account, and can't seem to figure out which one (pop or imap) to use.
    Thank you!
    -Kat

    If you are not using the paid (plus) accounts for Yahoo and Hotmail, they do not support access through email client applications like Mail, etc.
    For Hotmail, you may have success with the HttpMail Plugin if your account is old enough.
    For Yahoo-and Hotmail if it doesn't work with the plugin-you can use MacFreePOPs.

    I looked and found Previous Recipients under Window (never noticed it before). But that is manually repeating what I have just done with Address Book. That took two days. I'm looking for a way to sync the two with one click

  • BT Yahoo Toolbar and Windows Live Mail password se...

    I have been puzzling yet again why my auto log in to Windows Live Mail no longer works.
    Although I tick "remember me", after a reboot I am asked for my password again.
    I then came upon this link:
    http://www.i19777.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2169
    It seems the BT Yahoo Toolbar installer changes the registry settings. Even if the toolbar is uninstalled the registry remains the same and auto log in to WLM does not work.
    Downloading and installing "Make Messenger Remember Me" fixes the problem.
    Yes, I know it says "Messenger" but if you do not use it, it works just as well for WL Mail.
    This has been a pain for some time now and although I have been in contact with BT numerous times about this, they have never admitted that the Toolbar could be the problem.
    Will the moderators please forward this post to the tech guys so that this problem can be addressed?  

    Nice link and suggestion Smirnoff.
    I assume that toolbar sits in the BTYahoo browser, (don't use it here) which is being phased out I think, so it's unlikely BT tech guys will do anything.
    Even if the toolbar is uninstalled the registry remains the same and auto log in to WLM does not work  so "Make Messenger Remember Me" could be a useful tool for those still irritated by this who turn to another browser.

  • Unknown Device ipod Classic and Windows Vista problem??

    Help!! My ipod Classic is not being recognized by my computer. I have read the previous articles and tried the solutions but I continue to get the result "Windows has determined that the driver software is up to date" I continue to get the error noise when I plug the USB in and the Device manager continues to say "Unknown Device" It seems others are having this problem, how do I fix this?

    I am having the same trouble with mine, and I can say that it isn't iTunes, I plugged my brothers iPod Nano in and it worked like a charm, but when I plugged my iPod Classic 160g in all it says is it is an "unknown divice". It isn't Vista either as the same thing happens on XP Pro as well, so all I can think of is it is a error on the Classic itself. I just wish someone can help out so that I can use my ipod!!!! Come on Apple!!!! Solve this problem!!!!

  • Yahoo email and tiger mail program

    Can I use the mail program that is on Tiger with my yahoo email account? how do I set it up?

    yes, you need a premium account to set up POP3 on yahoo USA. Yahoo Singapore is the nice one, and free...
    don't forget to setup the POP3 configuration on the "mail option"
    --> log in to yahoo mail (singapore) with iE or Safari, after login, then chose "option" --> "POP Access and Forwarding"...
    hope it help...
