Query re WLM

Ok mate will try that but as I will have to send via this machine it might take a while to type out what it says but I'll try.

Now I am going to sound like a real no brainer but where the heck do I find "sync" in WLM - I have Googled to see and it refers to the drop down box with New Save etc in it but cannot find the sync reference you speak of.

Strange thing is that I get a MS Office Mail box with all the messages in pop up at times (cmae bundled with my Toshiba and want me to put in my activation code and I am getting so tempted to just go and buy this product to save all of you others and myself non stop hassle with WLM Its go to worth the $200??

I have been suspecting that we are not talking about the same thing.
A lot of people are confusing the difference of WLM which stands of Windows Live Mail, and Windows Live Hotmail.
To clarify my suspision, please open your " WLM " and tell me which one of the following 2 screenshots resembles your " WLM ".......

Screenshot #1....




Screenshot #2 ......




RE : Microsoft Office
Your computer has a pre-installed trial version of Microsoft Office suites. It must have been expired ( good only for 60 days or so ). It is asking you to pay for the full version in order to activate and continue to use the programs.
There are many versions of Microsoft Office suites, each with different price tag.
I don't know which one you are referring to.
Some of the MS Office versions have an e-mail program called Microsoft Outlook included.
Even with the MS Outlook, you still have to configure and set up an account into Outlook. It is not automatic.

Mate I have just tried another account again and deleted the original one and used my ISP providers password and it works on that machine now.

The other machines are working to and from the new install so maybe after all that I just needed to set the second account as the first one had been disrupted or something. The only two things I have to do now is ad my contacts to the new account and switch off the WLM and back on again before it will download messages - but it's always done that!

Look everyone I am sorry for taking up so much of your time but it was and is always a problem area for me when I've had to do rebuilds etc

All help so very much appreciated you are all such a great bunch of people and this id a great forum.

I am sorry.
You have succeeded in confusing me beyond comprehension.

So, you do have Windows Live Mail.

Sync is at the top left. Please look at my #1 screenshot.

Sync = send and receive , generally speaking.
Sometimes you want to know if you have mails and couldn't wait for the notification alert. You could then click Sync and WLM will go check for mails from your Bigpond, and download them if there are any.

Glad to know you have a working e-mail account without issues.

I am not sure what to do with your missing contact list.Perhpas some Mial expert will come along and help out.

If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Oh ! I am sorry. I overlooked one point.

You are using 2011 WLM version.
I am using 2009 WLM version.

There is no Sync option in 2011 version. It is reverted back to Send and Receive.
If you click the blue button at top left of WLM, you should see Send and Receive option.
