New Windows Live Mail Desktop released


Recommended Posts

can't get it to start

Starting Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta for the first time requires an online connection. Please connect to the internet and then try again. (0x80048883)

Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta could not be started because msmail.dll could not be initialized. Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta may not be installed correctly.

I guess it's because I am behind a proxy... I have tried running IE7 and browsing to a page to authenticate with the proxy and then running the program but this doesn't work

One of the MS Blogs suggests that error occurs because OE is running atthe same time, mine was disabled in the Program Access dialog, I enabled it and then uninstalled it and reinstalled WLM but it still doesn't work.

Another poster on the forum suggests having auto update enabled, mine is enabled. He/she also suggests running windows update, this doesn't work.

I've also tried installing the older version (same error) and updating with microsoft update (although the update doesn't appear on there)

Any ideas? :(

Thanks for posting the link to it. Installed it and it's working fine. Seems to run better and I like the slightly modified look. My only complaint is, did anyone else have a bunch of useless .log files show up on your desktop after installing it? That's annoying. It happens everytime I run it. Anyone know how to stop it from doing that?

I noticed that as well. I just deleted them.

i don't know what's the problem, but when i install this new version, it says that download the latest version from ideas.live.com, and interrupts the installation. I tried removing the old version and than install this, it also didn't work, and when i tried installing the older version, the same error occurs!?!? So what can i do?

IS NNTP access broken in this build? Everytime I've tried to use newsgroups it crashes, on 2 separate systems - briefly saw something alluding to this in the newsgroups before I hosed my installation trying to access the newsgroups a few times.

Anyone else feel this is a huge improvement on the old beta? I'm quite impressed with it myself so far! :)

Not tried this version yet, however the previous version just did not work.

Kept giving a memory error.

I was a beta participant for the first beta release, and I've tried the second release.

However I prefer the web-based version of Windows Live Mail. Both standard and basic versions of the Windows Live Mail client seem to be more stable than the desktop client. I think the web client/s handle junk mail better (with the report and delete buttons, etc) and are easier to use. :book:

Build .932 is out, get it from ideas.live.com

Source: www.liveside.net

Some major interface & functionality improvements even compared to the previously leaked .924 from a week ago...the ads have also been overhauled, unfortunately, so if anyone can figure out how to ResHack this one, I'd love to know :)

you MUST uninstall old versions or it will crash as i found out.

I LOVE this build i had the really old build, now this has add sender to blocklist and delete mail which it was missing badly.

Doh

If I uninstall will I lose my e-mails or anything like that?

Thanks

Topic already started on BPN for older build:

Possible move/merge?

Its good that a few new builds have been released recently,I'll wait for a bit to see what others say about stability etc before trying it again

    • The memory and nvme can be swapped and upgraded with standard parts. But the GPU cannot, which is the weakest part of the box. It's a dead product at these prices.
    • Sounds like the debloated build you are running is missing some components that the Photos app and Snipping Tool rely on.
    • Apparently, Microsoft doesn't use water in their taps, washrooms or clean their facility. /sarc
    • Wow, throwback.  VERY VERY briefly - but realised that it wasn't the language I needed for the tasks I was taking on.
    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
