Thunderbird on W8
I installed Thunderbird on W8. I also installed WindowsLiveMail. Neither
are to my liking. They're so foreign, I waste more time looking for what I want then getting my email and replying to it. Is it possible to get WindowsMail to work on W8 64-bit or is it even more complicated than it was getting it working on W7? I did a System Recovery on the Gateway LT with Vista 32-bit. A nice clean install... but windowsMail wont work. I get every )(*&^%$ error imaginable. |

The latter type, preserve accounts and programs. If you were attempting to clear a problem, the Registry is largely preserved, so any problems will still be there. A Clean Install, you'd need to define your account(s) again, install programs again, and so on. You should be able to tell from the symptoms, whether any setup work was required again, as to what kind of installation or restoration was done. At one time, the OEM recovery was "nuclear" and removed everything. Now, the OSes have more than one option, and you have to understand the plus and minus of each method. Paul |

It is simple to get WindowsMail to work on Win8, 8.1: Rename "Windows Mail" to "Windows Mail 8" Create new "Windows Mail" folder Copy content of "Windows Mail" folder into new created "Windows Mail" folder Copy "msidcrl30.dll" into "Windows Mail" folder Run "Windows Mail" http://www.eightforums.com/browsers-...ws-8-a-10.html Or you can install new Outlook Express: http://runasxp.com/Thread-Outlook-Ex...nd-10-DOWNLOAD |

A nice clean install... but windowsMail wont work. I get every )(*&^%$ error imaginable. By way of contrast, there are Clean Installs and there are Repair/Upgrade Installs. On the Gateway with WindowsMail I had no choice to do a Repair/Upgrade. I did a system Recovery which returns the PC to what it was like new. The latter type, preserve accounts and programs. If you were attempting to clear a problem, the Registry is largely preserved, so any problems will still be there. I'm not afraid to work in the registry but would need to know which (bad/old) keys are causing the problem before removing them. A Clean Install, you'd need to define your account(s) again, install programs again, and so on. That what System Recovery did. It wiped the disk clean and installed the uncorrupt copy of the OS from D: drive to C: drive. You should be able to tell from the symptoms, whether any setup work was required again, as to what kind of installation or restoration was done. It's totally different issues with WindowsMail now. When trying to send mail I get all kinds of errors. At one time, the OEM recovery was "nuclear" and removed everything. Now, the OSes have more than one option, and you have to understand the plus and minus of each method. This Vista Laptop goes back to 2008 and has a D: drive with a uncorrupt copy Vista on it. The The choices are System Restore and System Recovery. I chose System Recovery. Paul |

It had no bugs. You've done this an it worked for you? I assume you put it under Programs 86. I'll check those sites out. |

There are almost 19,000 KBs of stored messages in WindowsMail that keep coming back and can't seem to be permanently deleted. Also spellchecker no longer works. The Newsgroups work fine. Is there some way I can delete WindowsMail and download a safe virus free working copy?

What terrible advice, especially since Outlook Express is not available in 7. If the messages keep coming back, it's because the person kept them on their Hotmail account. If they want to delete them, it would require logging onto the Gmail website and removing them from there. Then, if they don't want to keep e-mails like that again, make sure to set it up as POP3 so that the e-mails are downloaded onto the system and not stored on the website at all. If IMAP is preferred, make sure to delete the e-mails you no longer want and then empty the folders. However, these settings indicate that the user had requested a POP3 connection and never bothered to uncheck the "keep messages on server" option. And no, there is NO virus in your e-mail program. -- Slimer OpenMedia, GreenPeace Supporter & SPCA Paw Partner Encrypt. - "Export-grade." Right.

I always have the accounts checked to delete mail on the server (Google) after 14 days. |
