Windows Live Mail

Post by Gloria E »

Something seems to have gone terribly wrong. What used to appear at the top of the Inbox now appears in the left hand corner on the ribbon. If I remember correctly delete, print, reply etc. were spread across the top. Has my memory failed me or am I losing it completly?

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive & well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, red wine in the other, body thoroughly used up. Totally worn out & screaming "Wow, Wee What a ride!

Hi Gloria, you must have upgraded to WLM 2011. It does not have the menu as displayed in WLM 2010 or other older versions.
If you look for the small icons top left, you will see a drop down box, it allows you to select the icons you want and option to move or minimize the ribbon.
Windows 11 Home 22H2

Regards,
George.

Sorry about the late reply. I was in NYC taking the test for So you want to be a millionaire.Needless to say I didn't make the cut, better luck next time.

No need for a screen shot, I searched all the icons and buttons and found the place to view the ribbon. Sorry about troubling the forum, I should have done the search before I posted.

My bad,

Thank you Roderuner and JoeP, I found what you described and things are back to normal. Now I have a more distressful problem with WLM, I'll start a new thread. I hope you guys can help me with that one.
