How to Troubleshoot Live Mail for Windows 7

There are a number of email clients – browser applications that allow you to access all your online email accounts from a single location – which are available as free downloads for your Windows or Mac. Even though desktop-based applications such as Office Outlook 2010 are now available for OS X as well (notwithstanding native Mac applications such as Mail), most email users still prefer to have an online application managing their mail, address book, schedules, and calendar – which is what Live Mail basically does. This rules out any compatibility issues and makes it much easier for users to migrate all their data while updating their operating system. It also saves you the trouble of having to sync mail onto multiple devices when you can simply access them using an Internet connection or Intranet network.

Windows Mail originally came bundled with Internet Explorer 7 on Windows XP and 7 (Windows Mail on Vista) and serves as the custom email client on Windows that supports AOL, Gmail, and Yahoo Mail Plus. There are some other remarkable email clients that can also be downloaded for free. Among the most popular ones are Opera Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird, Eudora (developed by Qualcomm), EmailTray (Web CEO Corp.), Claws Mail, Spicebird (Synovel), Zimbra, and Sylpheed. However, in order to avoid errors and configuration issues that may result in mail sign-in problems or send-receive issues, you need to take a few precautions.

Here are some problems that users most often face while running Live Mail on Windows 7:

1. Accessing folders with ‘Program not responding’

2. Live Mail RSS feeds – no html display of the article; shows only header

3. Login Failed. You must log onto Microsoft Exchange to access your address book.

4. Error Code: Unspecified Error.

Windows Live Mail works with most e-mail accounts including Gmail, AOL, Hotmail, and Yahoo Mail Plus. Live Mail has in-built functions that allow you to import e-mail, contacts, and calendar from Outlook Express or older versions. Windows Live Messenger makes it easier for you to check your messages, send photos, or find the information you want and add it to your messages using Quick Add.

Here are some precautions you need to take in order to avoid Windows Live Mail Problems:

1. Manage your IP and Domain’s sending reputation

2. Make configuration changes before sending emails from new IPs

3. Run Anti-Virus software

4. Setup and configure DNS correctly

5. Allow your IP to be seen as routable

If you are looking for troubleshooting information or are having trouble reaching other Hotmail users by email, you might need to get some end user support using third party online tech support for Live Mail. Email support can help you configure mail using Outlook or any other web mail application. Windows Live uses a proprietary Microsoft protocol called DeltaSync which communicates with the mail server for synchronizing web services with offline clients. This might cause problems for users who have the IMAP or POP protocol running on their computers. Tech support for MS Outlook and Windows Live can help users troubleshoot email issues and configure the latest version of you email client and browser on Windows.
