    how can I add contacts to windows mail in IE9 ?


    Hi,
    The "Windows Mail" i mentioned here is the one to send link, page...of a webpage in IE9,
    (access from File>Send>Page by email) . (Windows Live Mail had been set as default)
    I would like to add Contacts to this "windows mail" but could find a way to do that, could not
    import or transfer Contacts from my current Outlook mail (formerly Hotmail) to it. My OS is win7Pro
    Any recommendation ?
    Thanks

    Hi tony77,

    You need to install Download Windows Live Mail 2012 (16.4.3505) - FileHippo.com
    When done, sign-in using your Outlook details, contacts will be added automatically.

    Got a new computer with win7 and never paid attention to Windows live mail (still access Hotmail then Outlook directly) . Sign in the windows Live mail v.11 like you said and ...voila.
    Thank you Roderunner

    Do I need to update to ver.12 ?

    You don't need to update if you don't want to.
    If you update from WLM 2011 to WLM 2012 you may have issues with sending to a Group, if you want/use that option.
    Take a look at this thread for more info about this.
    There is a bug in Windows Live Mail Essentials 2012 as an upgrade

    I like to keep my PC's updated for "hopefully" security/stability fixes.
    If an update breaks something, it becomes a personal choice if updating is the right choice.

    Hi tony77,
    I agree with David, plus I never liked Version 11.

    Thank you DavidW7ncus and Roderunner,
    The new Outlook mail looks OK to me, just hoping that v.12 Window live Mail have better design!
    Thanks for the warning
    Best Regards
