WindowsLiveMail doesn't work

WLM doesn't work on my W-7 brand new PC. I can get email but cannot send
it. Also why is it downloading Junk-Mail Gmail already deleted? Why the
hell would anyone want hundreds and hundreds of spam messages sent to WLM?

How do I get WLM to send messages? Everything is entered correctly and yet
they do not leave the outbox.

I'm working over 40 hours on that *&^%$#@ computer and still have no
success, nor can I install a mail client that works such as MS WindowsMail.

Of course you can install one. There are lots of them. You have many
choices of e-mail programs--some by Microsoft, others by other
companies. Personally I don't like either Windows Live Mail *or*
Windows Mail, but the choice is yours. I use and like Outlook, but
many people have other preferences. Thunderbird, for example, is a
common choice.

Windows Mail *does* work under Windows 7. Just copy it from a Vista
machine.

Windows Live Mail also works. You say "Everything is entered correctly
and yet they do not leave the outbox," but clearly that is wrong.
Something is *not* entered correctly. Check your SMTP settings and
check with your ISP to see what they should be.

Whatever the issue is with GMail messages, it's more likely to be a
GMail issue than a Windows Live Mail one.

Can you use a web based e-mail program like G-Mail or Yahoo?

I never have used OE, Or WM or WLM for e-mail. Just use web based both Yahoo
and G-Mail.

Get a pirated version of office 2007. It has outlook express in it and that
should solve your problem.

A contrary opinion here: unless you get only a tiny amount of e-mail,
web-based e-mail is the slowest, clumsiest, and worst possible way to
do it.

You generally don't need to use anything like GMail or Yahoo, since
web-based mail is available for most e-mail accounts with ISPs. It's
nice to have web-based mail available for your account for times when
you are traveling and have no e-mail access other than through a
public computer, but I strongly recommending avoiding it as the normal
way to do e-mail.

But why wont WLM work? isn't it supposed to? I've looked at other news
cients that don't have Newsgroups. I've looked at one with that don't allow
multiple NSP accounts. I looked at one that would take a MS VIP or software
writer to understand. I didn't buy W-7 with the notion to scramble looking
for a news/mail program like OE or WM.

Personally I don't like either Windows Live Mail *or*

I have TB. I can't have more than one account per NSP on it.

We did that and replaced the right dll for 64-bit and it wont open. How do
we get WM to open on W-7 64-bit?

We already did that several times. We checked and rechecked and removed and
replaced the accounts.

How do we get WM to open and be used on W-7? Please if you know, tell
me!!!!!! It's on there but wont open.

I don't know where you got that idea from, but it is 100% wrong.

That is obviously NOT true. But since you don't bother to tell us
any details about the problem or your setup, I guess you're just going
have to live with it.

No, I hate web-based email. I get my email (gmail, and my ISPs email)
through WindowsMail on this Vista machine. I also need one that does
Usenet, like OE or WM.

I tried them one time and that was that. Once was enough. I see your're
using OE for Usenet. I loved it as I do WM. WLM really is the pits. We're
trying to move WM to the W-7 PC but it wont open.

Of course it does. It works just fine for everybody else. If it doesn't
work for you, you've got it set up wrong.

What's "NSP"?

I have three email accounts and two news accounts in Thunderbird.

Why are you hiding the details of your setup from us? What's the big
secret? Are you waiting for us to beg?
