Windows Live Mail (Vista/XP) - JARMail WEB - JAARS

Setting up Windows Live Mail on Windows XP or pre- 

Service Pack 2 Vista for JARMail/SIL Directory 

(If you have upgraded your Vista operating system to Service Pack 2, use the link for 

Windows Live Mail 2012 (Windows 7/Vista SP2…) located on the Setup Instructions page.) 

1. Read the System Requirements and Download and Installation Notes beginning on page 12 

of this document before installing. You can download the program from Microsoft here: 

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-live/essentials-home. You will have the 

option to install several programs that are included in the Windows Live Essentials Suite. All 

of the programs that you select will be installed to the “Windows Live” program folder. You 

only need to install Windows Live Mail. To do this, de-select all other options. 

2. Start Windows Live Mail. 

You can do this by selecting the Windows Live Mail icon from the Windows Live folder 

under All Programs on your Start Menu. 

If you are installing to a Windows XP computer that has a working version of Outlook 

Express, the first time you run Windows Live Mail it will automatically import all of your 

accounts and mail from Outlook Express. 

If you are installing on a Windows Vista computer that has a working version of Windows 

Mail, the first time you run Windows Live Mail it will automatically import all of your 

accounts and mail from Windows Mail. 

If you do not have either of these situations you will automatically be prompted to Add an 

E-mail account as in step 7 below. 

3. For adding more accounts or to check 

the settings on an existing account you 

need access to the menus. The menus 

are not visible by default. Click the 

Menu Control icon on the right end of 

the Title bar of the program, and then 

click Show menu bar. If you do not 

want to have menus showing all the 

time, you can simply press and release 

the Alt button once.

Folders Settings for IMAP Users 9 

Folders Settings for IMAP Users 

After setting up an IMAP account users should change 

the default folder settings for their account. The 

preferred setting is to have Windows Live Mail place 

sent items in the Sent folder on the JARMail server. 

To do this, use the following procedure. 

1. Right click your account and click Properties. 

This will open the User Properties dialog box. 

2. Click the IMAP tab 

3. Change the name in the Sent Items path: 

from “Sent Items” to Sent. 

4. Change the name in the Deleted Items 

path: from “Deleted Items” to Trash. 

5. Click OK. 

The Junk E-mail functions provided in Windows Live Mail will create a folder on the server 

automatically. This folder cannot be deleted from Windows Live Mail. You can set the options 

for Junk e- mail handling by clicking on the Actions menu, selecting Junk e-mail, and then 

Safety options…

The Sent Items folder was created automatically also by Windows Live Mail. It will still be 

visible in the folders list. It can be deleted in Windows Live Mail. If you prefer not to display 

this folder rather than deleting, use the following steps. 

1. Right click 

your username, 

and then click 

IMAP Folders… 

2. Scroll down 

the list on the All 

tab and select Sent 

Items 

3. Click Hide, 

and then click OK. 

Every so often you may want to empty your Trash folder to get rid of the deleted messages from 

the server. You will find when you right click on the Trash folder in your list of folders that the 

option will be displayed as Empty ‘Deleted 

Items’ folder. This is simply how Windows Live 

Mail refers to the designated folder.
