Why does Windows live mail sometimes takes so long to open?

Why do I have so many duplications when importing addresses into Windows Live mail?

  • when importing address book from Outlook Express into Windows Live Mail - many duplications occur and they are hard to get rid of.  While holding down CTRL key and using mouse to click on an address works strangely also - sometimes when I click it does not take and I have to re-click - it seems to be random - the extra click - it is very frustrating and takes a very long time - is there anything which can be done to avoid this?

  • Answer:

    From the contacts page, you can select "manage" and then select an option to clean your contacts and remove duplicates.   Thank you for using Hotmail.

I had a huge amount of difficulty dealing with this problem also.  I finally got it cleaned up, I think.  Windows XP's, "Outlook Express" was and is simply the best, easy to use and highly intuitive.  I believe Microsoft has made the latest version of Windows and thus Live Mail to resemble the Mac/Apple environment for many reasons - I hate that environment.  I was forced to buy a manual to get me through.  I bought, "Windows 7, the missing manual" by David Pogue on Amazon - a big and heavy manual, but its great!  It helped me to change Windows 7 so I can actually use it!  It is now fairly user friendly like Windows XP - Buying the manual is well worth the money - I have more control over my system now - its not perfect, but better.
