Live mail type green only.

Yes.

I think I have fixed it. I made lime green the default color, opened a new
e-mail typed a few words, then I made green the default color opened a new
e-mail typed a few words,
Then I made black the Default color. Going through the colors like this
seems to fixed what ever was locking on the green.
All the changes were made through Tools/ Option/compose
Any way I will keep my fingers crossed.

Again thanking you,,. Grumpy,,.

"Michael.

As far as i am concerned there is only one default for WLM.

It is Tools/options/Compose/Select the Font-size-and colour you
want./apply/OK

In the same options window are;- General/Read/ Receipt
/Send/signatures/Spelling/connection/Advance.

Mate the rest of the story is in the posts above.

I have only had Win 7 and live mail on my Computer for about a week.
This is not the first glitch with live mail. In the first 10 E-mails
sent.,it sent one 5 times and lost 2 other. That was out of 5 I had in the
out box.

Also I am trying to find a setting for SMTP. After telling it to wait, i
want to increase the time it waits before checking again for mail. Could
change it in Outlook Express but can't find it here.

Many Thanks Grumpy,,.

Grumpy,
Glad to hear you found a toggle-able solution. Thanks for reporting your results.

Setting the mail checking interval in Windows Live Mail is done exactly
like it was done in OE: Tools, Options, General tab, "Check for new
messages every X minutes."
Incidentally, that's not an "SMTP" setting.
