windows mail

Just installed Beta 2 for the first time and I am new to the newsgroup. I setup my mail account and everything works except none of my emails displays image files, just the box and red x. I have not changed any default setting that I remember. Anyone have any ideas on how to correct this issue?

Never mind. I found the setting. "Charlie" wrote in message

I have setup two accounts, but all incoming mail goes to one inbox. I need to have one account private. How can I setup this up?

Why not simply create a folder and setup a filter rule to move all your messages from your desired email address to that folder?

That Windows Mail looks very uggly. No separators between panes. Is there any way to change the look? Skins or something?
Thank You.

I would recommend Office 2007 beta, it is free and Outlook is awesome. -- AMD-FX-60 2gb OCZ Plat. memory ATI 1800 AIW 2x74gb Raptors in RAID-0 2x400gb WD HDD in RAID-1 Epox Nvidia-4 Ultra M/B Senior Member Overclockers.com

My Windows Mail wasn't set at "read in plain text" by default. I'm sort of disappointed about that. In my opinion, little worth that it is, why not encourage plain text email? It takes less bandwidth, concentrates on the message, is safer and on and on. HTML email should have been destroyed at birth anyway. Simply making it not the default could go a long long way to killing it off forever.

Hi, is it me or Windows Mail doesn't support Hotmail? With OE6 I can still access my old hotmail account
thanks

Correct. You can set up Hotmail to forward your messages or use an application such as HotPOP3 which allows pop3 access to Hotmail.

Do have some troubles with windows mail, running Vista Home Premium 64. In Win XP, when starting an e-mail, Outlook Express completed the e-mail address after a few characters. In Windows mail I have to select the recipient via Tools. select recipient. I this normal and if not, how can I have the (better) situation back as I had with Win XP? Thanks in advance.

Just purchased new HP Pavilion dv9000 series. I want to config my Windows Mail to access my old

Need more information. In which folder is the bad message, inbox, outbox, deleted items, etc.? It makes a big difference.

Mark it read and ignore unless its in the outbox. If its in the outbox then you can use WMUtil to get rid of it. www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/

If it only affected test messages I send to myself, it wouldn't matter much. However, this has deeper implications. I belong to several large mailing lists, and when I send a message to the List from my Gmail account, I never see my own posts to the List, although I receive everyone else's. When the List distributes my post, it puts my From address on the message, and somehow Gmail interprets that as being something sent by me, so it won't let me POP it. :-(
Ah! OK... has anyone reported it to Giggle?
I reported it shortly after Gmail first started up, but I got some boilerplate reply saying they were still in beta, so bugs were to be expected, and they would take my comments into consideration for future improvements. Looks like it fell through the cracks, or else they just don't care.

I've submitted a "bug report" (no mean feat with Google since they go great length to obscure contact facilities behind a maze of options!) including your mailing-list scenario.

Start | Default Programs. Make sure WinMail has all its defaults. It will still only check the mail accounts you have set up in it.
WinMail is not a mail account, it is a mail program and you must set up your mail accounts as your mail provider directs.
I have no idea what "IM" refers to.

Every time I start Windows Mail this thing called Recovered Messages come up. How do I get rid of that thing. I have to manually remove the darn thing each time and I'd like to just get rid of it entirely. Thanks for any help on the matter.

That's not an easy problem to deal with. You have two options. a. Go through the somewhat laborious "Reset Windows Mail" process: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/62560-windows-mail-problems.html or b. Upgrade to Windows Live Mail: http://get.live.com/en-us/betas/maildesktop_betas

Do you mean you have Windows Mail, and that the auto-complete doesn't work when you type in the To: field? That's a known problem with Windows Mail. I suggest you try the newer Windows Live Mail which works better.

If you are using Server, then you need to install the Desktop Experience feature to enable Windows Mail. Server does not install it by default.
If you are in Vista Client, then check the Program Files\Windows Mail directory for WinMail.exe and click on it.
If there is no shortcut to WinMail, then go to Control Panel | Programs and set the program access and default to WinMail.

Every time I close Windows Mail, I get a "No Disk in Drive" error box. Is there a way to correct this?

1) You can try a restore point to before this behavior started.
2) You can try running SFC--"system file checker" part of the Windows File Protection system, which would normally be one of my first moves to correct a banged up .dll or file-scanning the signatures of broken ones and replacing them with intact ones. But before you do make sure you have a restore point and use the Backup feature in Vista to back up or the image feature to make an image. The reason I say this is that MSFT has not fixed SFC and sometimes it wipes out the registry. They have also been very quiet about the fact that they haven't fixed SFC to date in any build as well, preferring to trumpet other things that fit the description, Clear, Confident, Connected in the Redmond penchant for alliterative concentrated "C" cascades.
You can run "sfc /scannow" in the run box. Lose quotes. This has been bugged to MSFT for months but they haven't or won't fix it. The last MSFT statement I saw on SFC from the Product Manager of Win RE was to run it as "sfc /verifyonly"--but whoopsie the problem with that is that it's worthless as a fixer when you do that. It ID's files that need fixin' but it don't never fix them. Not um good enough MSFT. Not very clear, confident and connected http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms734602.aspx
The MSDN article asks at bottom--How would you rate the usefulness of this content? Nor very useful since you don't admit SFC doesn't work most of the time in Vista and can mangle the registry into a no boot situation. The article ought to be updated to "it no workee" status and then updated when and if it's fixed.
3) Export the registry key and save it to desktop and try (if you have this root value--some don't):
In regedit, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Mail and remove "\WindowsMail.MSMessageStore" from the Store Root Value, so it looks something like:
S:\Data\WindowsMail
These two will probably be most effective if SR or SFC don't work:
4) The default path for the message store is C:\Users\{user account}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail
Try moving (not deleting) all files out of that folder and then start Windows Mail. It should create a new empty store folder.
5) Simply create a new profile and Win Mail will probably work in that. Fast user switching to it is an option but not a convenient one, however after you do it, go back to your original profile, close out all apps and browswer windows, reboot and see if it now works.
Good luck,
CH

I can browse the newsgroups fine and I can receive email but I am unable to send email. Do I need to repair the mail program maybe?
I am using Comcast, perhaps that is where the problem lies.
Gary

The obvious first step is to make sure your server names are properly set up. I had Comcast a few years ago and at that time the proper settings were very easy to find on their help site. I don't use WinMail, but I assume that the settings for Outlook Express will be similar.

Gary--
Although Comcast may use different settings and some different server configurations depending on your area, this is very probably *not a Comcast problem. The most common cause of both Outlook Express and Outlook send problems are 3rd party AV and firewall problems. WOC caused one but the WOC "live" team--they're live as opposed to "dead" corrected it on the 4th or so build--and there was a firewall workaround prior.
The fix there was simply type IMCP at the Firewall>advanced settings

button>advanced tab so that it can be added to "Allow ICMP connections" (only from computers on my local subnet).

I would suspect that shortly after you try to send, Gary, you're seeing a couple to three "socket layer" errors with long number sequences and nebulous google hits that don't explain them. Event Viewer eventvwr.msc in run box>application probably has similar errors and as is often the case won't be very helpful in this situation.
NIS (Norton Internet Security) has a setting--a checkbox that does spam checking in OE or Outlook that frequently interferes with Send that you don't need because both do a good enough job of spam screening on their own and they are improved with the latest versions of Win Mail and Outlook 2007.
I hope these will be of help--Symantec and often ZA and other firewalls have settings that are at the top of the list of interfering. If you do have Norton Internet Security any version:
This is where the problem is located and where you need to unhook Norton Antispam with Email scanning at the Outlook and OE checkboxes:
To configure Norton AntiSpam to integrate with your mail client (Norton AntiSpam 2005 or Norton Internet Security 2006/2005 only) 1.. Close your email client. 2.. Open Norton AntiSpam or Norton Internet Security. 3.. In the main program window, click Options, and then click Norton AntiSpam. 4.. In the Norton AntiSpam Options window, under Email, click Client Integration. 5.. Under "Select the email client(s) with which you want Norton AntiSpam to integrate," examine the check boxes and do one of the following depending on what you see: a.. If your email client is listed and is not checked, then check the box next to your email client, click OK, and open your email client. The Norton AntiSpam button should appear. b.. If your email client is listed and has a check mark next to it already, then go on to step 6. 6.. Uncheck the box next to your email client. 7.. Click OK. 8.. Restart your computer. 9.. Repeat steps 2 through 4, and then re-check the box next to your email client and click OK. 10.. Open your email client. http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nip.nsf/docid/2003093010121036?OpenDocument&ExpandSection=1%2C3&Src=hot#_Section1
