Cannot read emails in Windows Life mail

[Guest tch]

hello:

I'm having difficulty reading my emails in Windows Life Mail. Latter will

open, but when I click on each of the individual emails to read, nothing

happens at all -- absolutely unresponsive. Same applies when I click on Junk,

Drafts, sent, deleted etc.

 

This is the first time that such a weird thing is happening.

 

Can anyone please offer some suggestions to resolve this issue? help is most

appreciated.

Re: Cannot read emails in Windows Life mail

 

Will I lose everything (addresses, emails etc) in the existing copy by doing

that?

Windows Live Mail.

Live, not Life.

 

It has its own newsgroup to ask questions specific to that program:

 

microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop

[Guest db.·.. >]

Re: Cannot read emails in Windows Life mail

 

you shouldn't because

the emails are in a special

database and by reinstalling,

you would only be affecting

the program files.

 

incidentally, you may or

may not know this, but

outlook express parallels

live mail in some ways.

 

so if you can open o.e.

and download your

messages, they should

be an exact copy of

what had been downloaded

in live mail.

 

in addition to the above,

you can open live mail and

export/backup all your messages

and then reimport them if

necessary.

 

it is a little tricky but go

to file>export>messages.

 

then it will ask you for

a location, click browse>

my documents.

 

then click make new folder

and create one that says

my live mail then ok it.

 

here is the tricky part because

you need to be absolutely sure

that your new "my live mail" is

actually selected for the export.

 

so you may have to bounce back

to the prior screen then click on

browse again and get your

new folder to appear in the

window.

 

then export away....

 

using the o.e. and

the live export, you

will have two backups

of your messages.
