  1. Windows Live Mail


    I use Windows Live Mail, and every time I create a category in my contacts, add 25 names, I come back to find that it has been deleted. Is there a limit to the amount of contacts it holds? Can someone please direct me on how to permanently save a category?

    :)

  2. Email (Mail) on Windows 10?

    Windows Live Mail does not look like the Mail App and it shouldn't. You said the new Windows Live Mail doesn't look like the current Windows Live Mail which confused me since it isn't Windows Live Mail.

    What is the issue with the Windows Live Mail that you just installed?

  3. Switch from Windows 10 mail to windows live mail

    I have been using Windows Live Mail but gave Windows 10 mail a try and do not like it. Now I need to change back to Windows Live Mail. Every time I open Windows Live Mail it closes with "Windows Live Mail Has Stopped Working".

    Is this because W10 mail is designated as my mail program?

    All I want to do is turn off W10 mail and use Live mail which I have already installed.

    Thanks

    I cannot tell you why WLM does not retain the contacts you added to your group (category).

    I can fill in a few blanks about " Is there a limit to the amount of contacts it holds ?"

    WLM is an email client. It does not set limits.
    Limits are set by the email servers, such as Outlook.com (aka Hotmail.com ).

    Technically, there is no limit how many contacts are allowed in each category.
    However, the email server does set limit on # of emails an account owner can send each day.
    1 contact = 1 email.
    Supposing your email server set your limit to 50 emails per day.
    Example 1:
    If you send a group email which consists of 50 contacts, you have sent 50 emails. You have used up the daily limit.
    Example 2:
    If you try to send a group email of 51 contacts, it won't get sent. Your limit is 50.

    So, you will need to contact your email server and ask about the limit.

    As to how email servers set limits......................

    A new account gets the lowest limit until the account has built up the reputation. Then limit will increase.
    If an account has good standing without being flagged as spamming etc, then it will get higher limit.

    It goes without saying that don't have a category with more contacts than your daily emails limit.
