21 juillet Summary: The WebDAV protocol will no longer be supported effective September 1, 2009 On June 2, 2009 Microsoft announced changes impacting one of the methods to access Hotmail accounts using http servers/settings Only two remaining protocols DeltaSync and Pop3 will be available for accessing Hotmail type accounts(Hotmail.com, Live.com and Msn.com) - DeltaSync uses a unique http server and will be the only htpp method available
- Pop3 an internet standard protocol uses the Live.com Servers (effective Feb 2009 all Hotmail accounts are capable of Pop3 access)
Windows Live Mail, the Outlook Connector(Outlook 2003 and 2007) and MSN Explorer are the only applications that support DeltaSync for Hotmail Accounts Windows Live Mail, Outlook 2002/2003/2007, Vista’s Windows Mail, Outlook Express and other third party email clients including the iPhone, iPod Touch, and Entourage all support Pop3 access More Information on WebDAV retirement: The text of the full notice explaining additional details and options are available on the Windows Live Team and Hotmail Team blog Note: For accurate Pop3 configuration settings see the link below (Hotmail Accounts Pop3/Smtp Access Configuration) What to do before Sept 1, 2009: - Install Windows Live Mail(WLM) in XP, Vista or Windows 7 to use the DeltaSync server or
- Install the Outlook Connector(OLC) in Outlook 2003/2007 to use the DeltaSync server or
- Reconfigure Windows Live Mail, Outlook 2002/2003/2007, Vista’s Windows Mail, Outlook Express, or another third party email client for Pop3
Hotmail Accounts POP3/SMTP Access Configuration - Backup any important messages to user created folders in your email client or copy to a Windows Explorer folder. Protect your data!!!!
Note: - Options (1) and (2) above will retain the same synchronization that WebDAV provided with the Hotmail web interface permitting the web folders and messages to be mirrored locally in WLM or the OLC, synchronized with the web interface(http://mail.live.com or http://hotmail.com) and available in both locations(local and web)
- Option (3) will not provide synchronization with the web interface(i.e. No mirrored folders or messages)
- Option (3) by design will remove messages from the web server Inbox and place a copy in the Hotmail web interface’s Deleted folder and eventually automatically deleted(usually within a few days). To override, ensure that the Pop3 email client is configured to leave messages on the server.
What will happen if still using WebDAV on Sept 1, 2009: - Access to your email in your Hotmail Inbox and other folders will cease
- Attempting to synchronize with a non existent WebDAV server will most likely result in zero messages in your email client’s prior configured WebDAV Hotmail account and folders(no server, no sync, i.e. no messages) – c.f. this occurred a few years ago when free Hotmail accounts lost WebDAV access.
Http Servers Impacted that use the WebDAV protocol: - Two servers have been in use with Outlook Express and Outlook(2003/2007) for Hotmail.com and Msn.com accounts when configured for sending/retrieving via the 'to be discontinued' WebDAV protocol
| Account Type/Domain | Server Name | | MSN.COM | http://oe.msn.msnmail.hotmail.com/cgi-bin/hmdata | | HOTMAIL.COM | http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp | - Neither of above two(2) servers support the new DeltaSync protocol and both will cease to function
Known Email Client Software Impacted: - Outlook Express and Outlook 2002 using WebDAV (neither support the newer DeltaSync protocol)
- Outlook 2003/2007 when using the WebDAV protocol without the Outlook Connector (see below for info on the required Outlook Connector)
- Windows Live Mail using the WebDAV protocol(Hotmail accounts migrated from Outlook Express when using the WebDAV protocol or exported from Outlook Express and imported into WLM via an Outlook Express created *.iaf file)
Known Email Client Software/Method Not Impacted: - Windows Live Mail using DeltaSync
- Windows Live Mail, Outlook 2002/2003/2007, Vista Windows Mail, Outlook Express or other third party email client when using Pop3 settings
- Hotmail Web Interface (Live ID Login required)
- MSN Explorer 9.6 (DeltaSync compliant)
- Outlook 2003/2007 when using the current Outlook Connector
- The Outlook Connector latest version is available on the Microsoft Download site.
- The download is dated March 29, 2009 and is Version 12.1 (12.0.6423)
Accounts Not Impacted: 1.Subscription/Fee-Based Accounts: Revisions: April 18, 2008: Original Published Date April 27, 2008: Added Sections on Known Email Clients(Impacted, Not Impacted), Undetermined, and Accounts Not Impacted(item#2) May 1, 2008: Revised Section on Known Email Client Software/Method Not Impacted for Outlook 2003/2007 when using the Outlook Connector May 5, 2008: WebDAV Disabling Delayed(see Windows Live Hotmail Technical Support Blog: Responding to Customer Feedback – Disabling DAV ) May 24, 2008: Windows Live Tags added July 21, 2009: Updated Summary, More Info(recent notices), What ‘If’ scenarios, and corresponding links. 15 avril Summary: - Windows Live Mail(WLM) version 2009 uses a feature called ‘Sync’ to send and receive messages for email and newsgroups and also for updating RSS Feeds
- The Sync feature in WLM is the **replacement** for the traditional Send and/or Receive option found in prior/other email clients (e.g. Outlook 2003/2007, Windows Mail[Vista], and Outlook Express[XP])
- A Sync can be performed via the WLM Menu, the WLM Toolbar, or using the optional keyboard function keys
- WLM has a common Outbox for all outgoing mail and news messages
- A Sync performs both Send and Receive(unlike prior clients that permitted a Send without a Receive)
Performing A Sync in WLM: Mail Mode - Menu(click on Tools) or the Toolbar(Sync button/icon)
- If the menu is not present, press Alt M
- If the Sync button is not present, right click on the Toolbar/Customize to add the Sync button
Three options are available: - Sync (Choose an email account) – sends/receives all message for the selected email account
- Sync All Mail Accounts(Keyboard key F5 performs the same function) – sends/receives all messages for all mail accounts and sends the contents of the Outbox
- Sync Everything (Keyboard keys Control F5 performs the same function) –sends/receives messages for all mail, configured news accounts, and also sends the contents of the Outbox
News Mode - Menu(click on Tools) or the Toolbar(Sync button/icon)
- If the menu is not present, press Alt M
- If the Sync button is not present, right click on the Toolbar/Customize to add the Sync button
Three options are available: - Sync Newsgroup(choose a newsgroup)
- Sync All Newsgroups(optionally F5) – sends and receives all configured newsgroup messages
- Sync Everything(optionally Control F5) – sends and receives all newsgroup messages, sends emails present in the Outbox,
Feeds Mode - Menu(click on Tools) or the Toolbar(Sync button/icon)
- If the menu is not present, press Alt M
- If the Sync button is not present, right click on the Toolbar/Customize to add the Sync button
Two options are available: - Sync All Feeds(optionally F5)
- Sync Everything(optionally Control F5) – syncs all feeds, then syncs all mail and news, and finally sends messages in the Outbox

Revisions: October 24, 2008: Original Publish Date 15 septembre Summary: - Windows Live Mail stores Email and News messages on a pc in a viewable text file format.
- Email messages use the file type extension ‘eml’; News messages use ‘nws’
- Both Email and News messages use a hyphenated numerical/hexadecimal format as the filename
- Two examples for Mail are 00294823-00000147.eml and 26A6701F-00000002.eml
- Two examples for News are 0FDD08FE-0003DBFF.nws or 63F86350-0003DB89.nws
- Neither of the above filenames by default show the message’s ‘Subject’ field when viewed in Windows Explorer
Recommendation: - If using Windows Vista, the ‘Subject’ field can be enabled in Windows Explorer
- To add the ‘Subject’ field via the Windows Explorer menu
- Open Windows Explorer
- Navigate to the Windows Live Mail folder containing the respective account’s message(s)
- The default location for your mail and news folders in Windows Live Mail is:
- C:\Users\<your Windows logon id>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\<your email or newsgroup account name>
- Click on ‘View’ on the Explorer menu or press Alt V
- Scroll and select ‘Choose Details’
- Scroll and select ‘Subject’ (see Note below for additional available fields)
- Click ‘Ok’
Note: - Other fields in addition to 'Subject' are available (e.g. To Address, From Address etc) when configuring the 'Choose Details' option in Vista's Windows Explorer
- This procedure is also applicable to Vista's Windows Mail and News messages
- Vista's Windows Mail default location for your 'mail' folders is:
C:\Users\<your Windows logon id>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\Local Folders - Vista's Windows Mail default location for your 'news' folders is:
C:\Users\<your Windows logon id>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\<newsgroup name>
Revisions: Sept 15, 2008: Original Published Date Oct 26, 2008: Added 'Note:' section on other available fields and applicability to Vista's Windows Mail messages 31 juillet Summary: Windows Live Mail(WLM) may fail to shutdown properly due to its program file(wlmail.exe) remaining resident after closing/exiting thus requiring user termination by use of the Windows Task Manager End Process option. More Information: A failed shutdown may be noticeable by an inability to re-open WLM for subsequent use Comments: 1. Ensure 'Upload Larger Images to the Web When Sending a Photo E-mail' is checked in WLM's configuration setting: - This option is only available when signed into WLM with a Windows Live ID Notes: This type of failed shutdown may reappear if a new compose window or a draft message has been opened, even when closed without further editing, saving or sending. If so, then disable the 'Upload Larger Image' option(Uncheck/Click Apply) then re-enable(Check/Click Apply) Revisions: July 31, 2008: Original Published Date 24 mai Summary: - An uninstall/reinstall procedure for Windows Live Mail(WLM) that supplements the normal removal method using Add-Remove Programs(XP) or Programs and Features(Vista)
- This method is extensive in removing the program but also deletes select registry settings, the WLM Message Store folder and the WLM default installation program folder
- Review the method , the *asterisk* items(additional comments), the impact and understand the consequences prior to use
Reference: - Windows Live Mail Desktop Newsgroup
Quote 1. After backing up your messages & accounts through the export options, uninstall WLM through Control Panel. 2. Use Regedit (or your favorite registry editor) to delete the registry Keys (if they exist)* - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail desktop
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail desktop
3. Now navigate to your WLM Message Store folder** and rename it
- So you can keep it as a backup - messages can be dragged from the message store to your WLM interface as a method of importing them, or you can import messages directly by Browsing to your old(renamed) Message Store with File->Import->Messages->Windows Live Mail->Next->Browse...
- Also, if any extra spellchecking languages have been installed, or you want to re-use your custom dictionary, then the contents of the "Proof" folder (within the default location Storage Folder) should be backed up so you can restore it after the reinstall. Furthermore, after the reinstall, if inclined, you could try putting your old Message Store back in place by renaming it again).
4. Go to the 'Windows Live Mail' 'Program Files' folder (C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Mail) and delete it.
5. Run Windows Live Beta Remover*** if necessary.
6. Reboot your computer.
7. Now install WLM and import your accounts and messages. It may be best to disable any AntiVirus program you are running while installing WLM and running it for the first time.
Asterisk Items:
*Note that because the registry keys are deleted, messages, accounts, and message rules will be imported again from Outlook Express/Windows Mail, so if you do not want this to happen, first delete them from those redundant mail clients.
**To find the location of your message store, go: Tools->Options...->Advanced [tab]->Maintenance->Store Folder (the default location is a hidden folder). If you have moved your Storage Folder from its default location, you should also rename the old Storage Folder which remains in the default location.
The default location of Windows Live Mail's Message Store is:
Vista: %localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail
- (C:\Users\<Windows user account>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail)
XP: %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail - (C:\Documents and Settings\<windows user account>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail)
***The Windows Live Beta Remover may be helpful if you have installed Windows Live beta programs previously, as it removes all the old beta installers \End Quote Revision: May 22, 2008: Original Published Date (bullets, hyperlinks, formatting added to original quote) May 23,2008: Revised Title(from 'Compleat' to 'Complete') after lexical and stipulative input from Messrs. Peter and Noel Webster ;) May 24, 2008: Windows Live Tags added Summary: - Windows Live Mail's Version 2008 release does not include an option to choose an alternate UK English SpellCheck
- The method below provides the ability to add the option for the UK English SpellCheck and also retain the US English SpellCheck
- This method is ***not necessary or applicable*** for Windows Live Mail 2009
Reference: How to create English (UK) as an additional spellchecker in WLM - Compliments of Bob Lucas - posted in the Microsoft public newsgroup Windows.Live.Mail.Desktop
Quote After a lot of trial and error, I have discovered a way of including the English (United Kingdom) spellchecker as an ADDITIONAL language option, without losing the default English (United States) spellchecker. 1. The Language ID for English (US) is 1033 (or 0409 in hexadecimal). 2. The language ID for English (UK) is 2057 (or 0809 in hexadecimal). 3. With Windows XP and later, set the folder options to “Show hidden files and folders”. 4. All additional spellcheckers are installed in a folder called “Proof” in “%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail”, which includes a separate folder for each language. - The name of each different language folder is “prf00xx” or prf0xxx, where “xx” or "xxx" is the hexadecimal code for each language.
5. In “%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail”, create a new folder named “prf0809” (hexadecimal for English (United Kingdom)) - and create a further sub-folder named “1”. 6. Then, open the folder “%programfiles%\Windows Live\ Mail\Proof\prf009\2”. - This folder contains the basic spellchecker files for various versions of the English language.
- Copy the three files, mssp3en.lex; MSSpell3.DLL and spell.ini from “%programfiles%\Windows Live\ Mail\Proof\prf009\2” to “%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\prf0809\1” (i.e. one of the folders you created previously).
7. Then, right click on “spell,ini” (in “prf0809/1”) and change Lang=1033 to Lang=2057. Save “spell.ini”. 8. Finally, open Windows Live Mail and click on Tools / Options / Spelling. - The updated list of installed spell checkers should include English (United Kingdom), in addition to English (United States). Set whichever version you prefer as the default spellchecker.

More Information: Reference: Windows Live Email Support Blog, May-2-2008 Comments: - The method in the provided article imports folders and messages from an existing account(s) in OE
- It does not import or create the source(OE) email account in the destination WLM client(see Note)
- Folders are imported to sub-folders in WLM's Storage Folders\Imported Folders\Local Folders
- Messages present in OE's default folders(Inbox, Drafts, Deleted Items, Outbox, Sent Items) will be present, if successful, in each respectively named folder
- User created folders in OE can also be successfully migrated(e.g. 'Save' folder in above picture)
- Note: Since the import does not import\create the email account in WLM, the user must manually create the email account(if not already present, and also any user created folders) or optionally import the email account using a previously created/saved OE *.iaf file as source.
- Once OE's messages are imported they can remain in that location, or moved to a user created folder within an email account(WLM by design creates a folder structure for each unique email account), or moved to user created folder within the Storage folders.
Moving Messages from the Imported Storage Folder(s) Location to an Email Account: - Drag the message from an imported folder to a sub-folder in an existing/created email account , or
- Select a message(or group of messages) in an imported folder, then right click to make the context menu's options available(e.g. Move to folder or Copy to folder), then choose the option of your choice to move or copy the message to the desired location(i.e. a user created folder in the email account)
Note: The above methods for managing/archiving messages within an email account's sub-folders in WLM might be perceived as consistent with archiving messages in in OE's Local Folders, though this approach may not be the most secure place: Moving Messages from the Imported Storage Folder(s) Location to another user created Storage Folder: -
Drag the message from an imported folder to a folder/sub-folder in the Storage folder, or -
Select a message(or group of messages) in an imported folder, then right click to make the context menu's options available(e.g. Move to folder or Copy to folder), then choose the option of your choice to move or copy the message to the desired location(i.e. a user created folder, e.g. SaveMail, in the Storage folders) 
Note: Utilizing the Storage folder has the following benefits. - The Storage Folders(and sub-folders) are not removed/deleted from WLM message store when an email account is deleted, thus inherently more secure
- A common location for archiving important messages external to an email account's default folders(i.e. Inbox, Drafts, Sent, etc)
- Message rules for Pop3 email accounts can also move messages to this location
- Easier to backup important archived messages instead of individual email accounts(e.g. The SaveMail folder and its' three sub-folders)
Revisions: May 3, 2008: Original Published Date May 24, 2008: Windows Live Tags added Summary: - Windows Live Mail does not include a File Export option to move messages to Vista's Windows Mail email client
- The traditional 'Drag and Drop' method is one work-around capable of achieving that task
Step 1: Drag Messages from Windows Live Mail to an Explorer Folder Create a new folder using Windows Explorer on the desktop(e.g. WLMDragEmail)
Create sub-folders in the new folder with identical names as the folders in your Windows Live Mail email account
- Inbox, Outbox, Sent, etc (including any user created folders)
Open Windows Live Mail
Resize each window to fit on the desktop(one for the new folder and one for Windows Live Mail)
Switch to Windows Live Mail and select messages from a Windows Live Mail folder e.g Inbox
- Control A can be used to Select All
Drag those messages to the identical named sub-folder in the earlier created Windows Explorer folder.
Repeat for each Windows Mail folder(Outbox, Sent, etc including any user created folders)
Close Windows Live Mail Step 2: Drag Messages from an Explorer Folder to Vista's Windows Mail Open Vista's Windows Mail
Resize again to show two windows--the Explorer folder and Windows Mail
Ensure an email account is created (including any user created folders)
Drag the messages from the Windows Explorer folder(s) to the like named folder(s) in Windows Mail Revisions: May 3, 2008: Original Published Date May 24, 2008: Summary Content Updated; Windows Live Tags added Notice: - The entry below('Summary and thereafter') will become obsolete as will WebDAV access effective Sept 1, 2009.

8 décembre MSI Files - What are they ? An msi file is an installation file that contains all the necessary components to install an application. A typical msi file contains the application installation package, an information and data stream, internal and external source files, and may also include additional *.cab files required for the installation. Windows Live Msi Files: Windows Live applications files are currently not available for direct download but for most Live programs an msi file for the respective Live application is placed on the machine in a hidden folder during installation. The msi files can be used for installation or reinstallation on the same machine and also copied for use on another machine or saved for archival purposes. Finding them in Windows: The following instructions are for Windows Vista (the location is the same for XP) 1. To view hidden folders Open Windows Explorer
- On the Menu bar, click in sequence on Tools/Folder Options/View Scroll to these two items and verify that
- 'Show Hidden Files/Folders' is enabled(i.e. checked; toggled on)
- 'Hide Protected Operating System Files' is disabled 2. Use Windows Explorer to navigate to this location C:\Program Files\Common Files\WindowsLiveInstaller\MsiSources 3. Upon inspection it obvious the filenames are not exactly descriptive of the application(s).
- e.g. Windows Live Mail = Install_{184E7118-0295-43C4-B72C-1D54AA75AAF7}.msi 4. The following table provides the conversion. | Application | Installer Package | File Size, Kb | | Live Mail | Install_{184E7118-0295-43C4-B72C-1D54AA75AAF7}.msi | 12,733 | | Live Messenger | Install_{508CE775-4BA4-4748-82DF-FE28DA9F03B0}.msi | 16,766 | | Live Photo Gallery | Install_{257E440F-781F-459B-9A68-A0872B80C1D6}.msi | 9,800 | | Live Writer | Install_{9176251A-4CC1-4DDB-B343-B487195EB397}.msi | 4,556 | | Live Toolbar | Install_{D5A145FC-D00C-4F1A-9119-EB4D9D659750}.msi | 1,527 | | Live Sign In Assistant | Install_{AFA4E5FD-ED70-4D92-99D0-162FD56DC986}.msi | 639 | 5. The msi file after copying to another location for archiving or later use can be renamed(e.g. LiveMail.msi) Revisions: Dec 08, 2007: Original Published Date May 23, 2008: Windows Live Tags Added 7 décembre Revisions: Dec 07, 2007: Original Published Date May 23, 2008: Windows Live Tags added 22 novembre Howdy, - As of Nov. 6th 2007 Windows Live Mail exited beta testing and was released for public use for Vista and Windows XPSP2.
