Windows Live Mail’s built‑in spam controls — the Safety Options, Safe Senders/Recipients lists, Blocked Senders, international filters and message rules — can still give you effective inbox control, but only if you set them deliberately and understand their limits on modern Windows systems. This...

I am finally looking for a replacement for the ancient Windows Live Mail program and I am completely amazed that apparently email client programs have gotten so much WORSE in the last decade.
The first replacement that I tried was the nonsense that Windows includes in Win 10 as the so-called...

I've used Mozilla Thunderbird for several years, but this morning a trusted link took me to Microsoft Live Mail, which I used to send a small message.
Now all the mail in my Thunderbird Inbox has disappeared.
Any ideas most gratefully received.
My Dell Inspiron 15 3000-3552 (Win-10, v20H2) developed a weird problem a couple of updates ago. I still use Win Live Mail-2012 (WLM) and the new Edge, so when I click a URL link in an e-mail it starts Edge but stalls out forever. Of course, I reinstalled Edge and WLM with no help. However, when...

I tried to send an email with 3 PDF file attachments (about 18 KB each). This gave an error but with no details or error code. There was nothing in the Outbox or Sent Items. After about 5 minutes the mail actually was sent but still didn't show in Sent Items. It showed with "(1/2)" in the...

We have Windows 7 and use Windows Live Mail for E Mail. Today for no apparent reason our contacts are messed up. My wife had a lot of them separated into different groups. One group that had 43 contacts may have only 8. All the groups have less than they bare supposed to. What could have happened?
I have a computer with Windows 7 and use Windows Live Mail for E Mail. Now every time I open WLM I get an error message saying There was an error when attempting to connect to the Windows Live Mail Calendar Service. How can I get the error message to stop?
I came into work today with 724 new emails. Everything from my inbox and trash was duplicated again. Is there a way to prevent this? I use Windows 7 with Windows Live Mail 2011.
Hi:
I am in Windows Live Mail and am trying to write a draft. Don't know what is happening but I get just so far and cannot write anymore. Is there a limit being set somewhere to limit the number of characters composing a draft message? Anyone have an answer please?
