Vista - blocked & safe senders list round 2

I thought that when I logged in to Windows Live Mail and you blocked some
senders and added some to your safe senders list that if you had to restore
your OS that they would be saved on WLM server. Well I restored my system
and they weren't there. Maybe I misunderstood what you meant. Help!!!!

Hi, Walter.

First, to whom are you referring when you say "you blocked..." and "what you
meant"? This is a Usenet newsgroup populated by other users just like
yourself. MSFT employees read and post here only occasionally. This is not
Microsoft Tech Support.

Second, I don't know everything that System Restore actually restores, but
Windows Live Mail is not included. WLM is an application, not a part of the
operating system.

And, third, there is no "WLM server". WLM includes an email client and a
news client that can access any NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol)
server - including news.motzarella.org, which you used, and
msnews.microsoft.com, which hosts these Microsoft public newsgroups. MY
Safe Senders list is stored in my own computer, not on the server. MY list
might look much different from YOUR list.

If I've misunderstood your question, please post back.

Were you using a Live ID to signon at WLM program open.
- if not nothing syncs with the server

If a Live ID was in use, did you sync the account with the server ?

A logon at mail.live.com can verify the synchronization by accessing Options/More Options/Junk Email/Safe and Blocked Senders

First of all how do you sync an account? Also when I went to options/more
options/junk mail etc all it allowed me to do was add email addresses. Kind
of confusing.

I forgot to ask what you meant when you asked if I was using a live ID to
sign on at WLM program open. After opening WLM I clicked the sign on button
in top right of screen and entered my mail user name and password. When I
went to mail.live.com I had to create a new password etc but when I got
there I didn't see how to tell if my accounts were synced or not.

Mail and News
Sync button on the Toolbar or on the menu(Tools) has three options depending upon which view is in use (News or Mail)

News mode - sync newsgroup, sync all newsgroups(F5), sync everything(Ctrl F5)

Mail mode - sync email account, sync all email accounts(F5), sync everything(Ctrl F5)

WLM has a common Outbox for all news and mail messages.
In News mode Ctrl-F5 is required to send any unsent emails present in the Outbox
In Mail mode, F5 and Ctrl-F5 sends all contents of the Outbox

Also, in Feeds mode, Control F5, first syncs all feeds, then sync all mail and news, and sends messages in the Outbox.
