This certainly amounts to a WHOLE lot of TROUBLE...

See Below...

Meanwhile NO USEFUL WORK is getting done on that computer.

Some of you people here just want to PLAY with your software, ferreting out
new bugs, gaffes and omissions, rather than employing it for USEFUL WORK.

Why not just deep-six WLM and install Forte Agent 5.00/32.1171 and save a
lot of grief?

Forte Agent 5.00/32.1171 works beautifully, smoothly and cleverly...

I haven't found a substantive bug yet...

It is very POWERFUL...

With many OPTIONS...

And the Interface is not DUMBED-DOWN to the LCD.

It's a pity Microsoft can't build something to compete with it as the
front-end for an OS -- the email client and newsreader.

Just from a MARKETING POV Microsoft needs to DO that...

Build a WINDOWS LIVE EXPRESS.

Gary, your experience is unusual, if not unique. There's been no other
post in this group describing anything like this. Writing newly-downloaded
message headers to the database takes a few seconds on shut-down.
Re-indexing (aka compacting) takes a little longer, especially if there
have been a lot of deletions and movements of messages. Rebuilding Quick
views happens on start-up and takes up to a minute. This is with v.
14.0.8050.1202, which I suppose is the same as yours despite what you
write, also on XPSP3, with a database approaching 300MB and a message
store of perhaps 150,000 messages.

Either there is something fundamentally wrong with your installation or
there's something else interfering. To sort out the first of these calls
for a Scorched Earth clean install using Peter.R's procedure at
http://liveunplugged.spaces.live.com...90CA!226.entry
The second could be something as simple as your AV or similar program
laboriously checking every little disk write, or some other app you have
installed that is not compatible with WLMail, or it could be something
more sinister like malware. Sounds like you've got some troubleshooting to
do.

Found the problem underlying this situation.

Quick view for mail will not function correctly at all until the database
for all the unread news messages is completely rebuilt or indexed. not
sure of the correct term. Problem with Windows live mail 2009 or version
14 is that this takes between one and two hours 10 messages at a time
with a lot of stopping, starting and hanging. Further, this happens not
just once but two to three times a day. Not using quick views at all is
not a satisfactory option for me so uninstalled and went back to version
12, 2008. Much faster at this and only does an index once.

Wish there was a way to turn off using quick views for news and keep it
for mail only such as activate the grayed out show all news button in the
quick views settings box. Anyone know of a tweak yet to do this.

Of course the real solution in my mind would be to correct the problem of
constantly re-indexing the quick views or speed up the process a lot.

Thanks, Gary H.

Windows XP SP 3
Windows Live Mail Desktop Build 14.0.8050.1212 upgrade from version 12.
No other live programs installed.

Having a problem with Quick views using both the New mail view and the
all Inbox view.
First. Cannot delete messages from the quick view. Message remains and
shows as new until close and open Live Mail Desktop. After attempting to
delete an email Windows live mail desktop will not end with out going
into task manager and manually ending the wlmail process.

New mail will not appear in any quick view unless I have edited the
registry as per the following link and instructions The Field Guide
Repairing Windows Live Mail Quick Views Counter that I found in this
newsgroup. New messages will then appear in quick views the first time
Windows live mail is opened, however nothing after that first opening,
unless of course the search folders version registry entry is deleted
again.

Tried the following.
Compact all files
Repair installation from the add remove programs list. Windows live
essentials. (three times actually)
Of course shut down and restart Windows.

Anyone have this or similar problem and discovered a solution?
Next step for me is a complete uninstall and reinstall.

Thanks for any and all help.
Gary H.
