Hello yet again, I had a probem a few days ago with my mail being pilfered from my server acct by WM. I got some brilliant advice about setting for a copy to be left on my server. That worked fabulously for the last few days but it has gone to hell this afternoon. Again my email server doesn't have a copy and my email has disappeared in WM without a trace. Any thoughts on how I can find...

I find an email in my box that a friend warned me about. she said that when she deleted it, a copy of the mail was sent to everyone in her address book. how do I prevent this from happening to me????

Does anyone know how I can drag a message from one newsgroup to another? I could do this no problem in outlook express, but it seems to be a feature that MS was nice enough to remove for me. I can drag them to a mail folder no problem, but this is not going to help. I am taking some courses and this is the default program we are supposed to use and need to be able to reuse information. --...

I am trying to import folders from outlook into windows mail. Only 4 of the folders will import. if I try again, it says, your folders have been imported but all of them have not. What can I do to get all my folders over to windows mail. Outlook was used with XP, is that the problem?

This morning I have been receiving email in my inbox, but my outbox appears to be broken. Outgoing mail piles up and whenever I try to send it I get an error message. I can manually delete messages out of the outbox, so it is not the problems with "stuck" outgoing messages (although I did experience that problem a few months ago). Any suggestions for how to get my outbox working again???

Can I transfer my outlook acct to windows mail???
