| Guest | Closing WLM My Windows Live Mail doesn't shut down properly when I close it to shut down. Then I receive one or more drafts when I log in again. The envelope on the left bottom of the screen disappears, but the one on the right bottom of the screen remains. I have tried closing it manually, but it doesn't solve the problem. This happens intermittently. Please help |

| Guest | Re: Closing WLM If something is ending up in the drafts, that sounds like you may have had a one or more message composition windows open when you went to close WLM. Hold down the ALT key and press the TAB key and see what pops up. Repeat. This will cycle through all the open programs. If a WLM message window pops up, close it. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "Jane Doe" <jdnincompoop@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:OOZTn6XvIHA.1936@xxxxxx

| Guest | Re: Closing WLM There is a shut-down bug in WLMail that may be the cause of your problem. It occurs when "Upload Larger Images to the Web When Sending a Photo E-mail" is *un-checked*. This option is available only when you are signed in, but if it is un-checked it still causes the shutdown bug even when not signed in. So make sure the option "Upload Larger Images to the Web When Sending a Photo E-mail" is *checked* at: Tools->Options->Send [tab] (available only when signed into Windows Live through WLMail). If you do find that "Upload Larger Images to the Web When Sending a Photo E-mail" is checked (which it is by default), then just uncheck it and click "Apply", then check it again and click "Apply" again. Now, whilst this shut-down bug is due to the option "Upload Larger Images to the Web When Sending a Photo E-mail" being un-checked, in my experience, it does not manifest until a new compose window, or a saved draft has been opened. Even if the new compose window or saved draft is closed without editing, saving, sending etc., WLMail will not shut down properly. -- Cheers, Peter.R (Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 with Windows Live Mail 12.0.1606) "There are more things in Heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." - Shakespeare --------------- "Jane Doe" <jdnincompoop@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:OOZTn6XvIHA.1936@xxxxxx

| Guest | Re: Closing WLM I don't think so, Michael, but I will remember your advice. It occurred about 3 times on successive days, but fortunately it hasn't happened again since my posting. Thanks JD -- "Michael Santovec" <michael_santovec@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:Owp54scvIHA.4912@xxxxxx

| Guest | Re: Closing WLM Thanks for your reply, Peter.R, but I don't see that option or any option relating to Photo E-mail at all under Tools, Options, Send. Fortunately my WLM seems to be OK the last few days. -- "Peter.R" <Peter.R@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:32E0B9BC-525D-4E71-97E0-24F5A2545055@xxxxxx

| Guest | Re: Closing WLM As Peter said, "This option is available only when you are signed in." So, were you signed in with a Live ID? -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP "Jane Doe" <jdnincompoop@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:uVc4UkxvIHA.3792@xxxxxx

| Guest | Re: Closing WLM Sorry, Gary! I assumed that when one used WLM one was logged into Windows Live. But I see that I was wrong. I had looked at the facility when I first got WLM and have, thus far, had no occasion to use it. Anyway I haven't had the problem for some days now, but will try to remember the solution if it recurs. Thanks for the "nudge". -- "Gary VanderMolen" <Gary@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:eETPFS1vIHA.3780@xxxxxx

| Guest | Re: Closing WLM The only reason I use the Live login option is for the purpose of having an up-to-date backup copy of my contacts available on the web. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP "Jane Doe" <jdnincompoop@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:%23Qf1hD9vIHA.3384@xxxxxx
