    Windows Live Mail

    I have opened two accounts and I'm sure the details are correct.
    But when I start Live Mail I get no mail, the program is running tellig me
    it's receving mail. But nothing happens.
    Is windows vista causing the problem by blocking the program?

    If you are seeing the Receiving message in the lower right hand corner,
    click it to get a progress dialog.

    Are these POP3, IMAP or HTTP (Hotmail accounts)?

    For IMAP and HTTP accounts, it could take a while the first time used to
    synchronize all the messages with the mail server.

    Re: Windows Live Mail

    If you've been leaving a copy of messages on the server, WLM is going to
    want to download everything that's in the Inbox there. That's normal
    for POP3.

    Did you click the Receiving message to get the progress dialog?

    Check your accounts|properties|advanced for the proper port numbers for both
    incoming and outgoing mail.
