Hello everyone, I am new to this forum. Normallly I have never found it necessary to seek out help with previous versions of Windows, however I have found Windows 8.1 to be extremely antagonizing and desperately need help.
One of many issues is that I can't get Windows Live Mail configured to work properly with Windows 8.1. I figure this has something to do with conflict between my regular email account (TELUS is my internet provider) and the MICROSOFT account that was crammed down by throat post purchase of my new computer (an outlook account).
Under Windows 8.1 I have had numerous Windows Live Mail glitches...one very strange glitch is all the messages in my inbox seem to disappear for no reason...this occurs whenever I get over a certain amount of emails. I really have no idea how many emails is too much, or if there is another reason why this occurs.
Windows Live Mail also continues to crash. Whatever settings I used for my TELUS email account don't work in Windows 8.1. I have had to re-make my address book and reinstall Windows Essentials numerous times. After reinstallation Windows Live Mail will work for a short period, and then crash again.
I am wondering if Microsoft wants to force me to use their OUTLOOK server account, however, I really don't like the outlook interface. I want to desperate get Windows Live Mail working with Windows 8.1, as I have a huge amount of email traffic to do with work, clubs, and family. Has anyone else had issues with Windows Live Mail under Windows 8.1? And anyone have any idea why it keeps crashing?
Thanks...Colinf
