Just received and installed update for Windows Live Essentials.

My "new" Windows Live Mail is now.... build 15.4.3555.0308

Is that the most current ?
If I remember correctly, the last WLM version ends with 513 or something.

Thank you.

Welcome to the Seven Forums. You would perhaps have got better response had you started a new thread instead of posting in a solved thread.

Are the double addresses with the same e-Mail ID? It happens for those addresses that have multiple IDs in addition to the default.

Thanks for the welcome wanchoo!!

Yes they are the same email address!!

About a year ago Live Mail just dumped all but 20 of around 300 addresses and it took awhile to recover from that....GRRRRR again!!

Now this and the fact that I cannot figure out how to save Groups only......I have 272 folks on my morning Sunrise list but can only save the entire address book......any suggestions here??

Thanks again!!

That's right. Exporting contacts to be saved locally doesn't save the "categories" (previously called "groups"), just all the contacts. If you are willing to sign in and then categorize your contacts (in the "signed-in" contacts list), they will be saved automatically by Microsoft at the website "contacts.live.com", including the categories. Just keep in mind that you will be looking at one of two different WLM contact lists (in the contact pane) depending on whether you are signed-in or not.

sfc /scannow
check disk
uninstall (or repair) Windows Live Essentials (Programs and Features)
reinstall Windows Live Essentials (if uninstalled first)

Also might be good to do a malware scan (Microsoft security essentials or their Offline Defender).

This should not affect your appdata contents like messages or contacts but it would not hurt to save the "Windows Live Folder" someplace else just to be safe if you have messages you downloaded and don't want to loose. (They can be reimported later if necessary.)

Thanks roncerr but I have done all of that and still have the errors.......ON BOTH COMPUTERS!!

I am losing confidence in Microsoft since it was problematic before and there have been periodic problems before now!! I have fought it for a year or more!!

Against my will I am using Gmail as my "hub" and 3 other clients are being imported to it......this really SUX!!:cry:

Sorry and thanks again for your input!!

Update:

Since nobody, including Microsoft's Techs, has replied to me about the Live Mail problems I have uninstalled Live COMPLETELY and unless Gmail lets me down miserable WILL NEVER use Live Mail again.....PERIOD!!

Microsoft has a great idea but nobody wanted to refine it to stay ahead of the others....OH WELL......I may try a MAC next, who knows??

Thanks to all those who offered assistance......I truly appreciate it!!
