My contcts
Shep
my main mail client, I use hotmail ( live mail) for things I do not want my
main mail client to be used for, I don't want my regular email address out
there for spammers.
Somehow I opened Live mail today and have a bunch of delivery failures and
when I looked it was to people from my address book in my reglar mail
client.... Now I wonder what was sent to my people who didn't have mail
failure.. it was some crap about Rob Roy?????
Is there a way to not have Live Mail import my adderss book from my OE ??
For now I just deleted all the contacts in live mail.. but who says it won't
import them again.
How can I sto this from happening

It is not necessary to sign in to send and receive mail.

Web access to a Hotmail account is Windows Live Hotmail. mail.live.com
Do you have a different account in OE or is it the same Hotmail account
(address)?

at www.hotmail.com to use my hotmail account. Somehow all of a sudden all
my contacts were imported to my hotmail account from my OE address book.
I have since deleted all the contacts from hotmail but don't want them
imported again. Since I have no idea how they were imported in the first
place I want to prevent this from harping.
Something happened with my hotmail account and I noticed that something was
sent to every contact I had at the time, If Windows Live Mail would just
update they themes I would use that application but as they are now they
suck.
I know it was in beta a long time and people could have made comments about
the themes but I didn't use the beta version.. when someone comes out with
skins for Windows Live mail I will use it instead of OE and that way I can
have my hotmail account in it as well like I use to be able to.
Thanks

This newsgroup is for discussion of a Microsoft product called, "Windows
Live Mail". It is a desktop email client, similar to, and replacing, MS
Outlook Express.
Your problem appears to be with "Windows Live Hotmail" (which is not, nor
ever has been just "Live Mail", but was, once, called, "Windows Live Mail"),
which is the web mail service. This is not the discussion group for the web
mail service; sorry. (But blame Microsoft, which has a penchant for
confusing naming of their products and services; usually made worse by end
users creation of unofficial slang terms for these products and services,
such as, "Live Mail").

Hotmail resides on a server at Microsoft and you can use your
Hotmail address as a "Live Identity"
You are using your web browser to access your Hotmail (a.k.a.
Live Hotmail) messages via the Internet. As as alternative, you
could use some mail clients (see next paragraph) to send and
receive messages, in the same way that you used to use Outlook
Express. The mail client facilities in Windows Live Mail (see
below) or Microsoft Outlook (2003 or later - with the Outlook
Connector add-on) are suitable for this purpose, because they
have the ability to use the new HTTP DeltaSyn protocol. This
protocol allows you to access Hotmail accounts in a similar way
that Outlook Express did, prior to 2009.
Windows Live Mail is a utility olr program, which resides on your
local computer. The utility includes a mail client and a
newsreader. WLMail also incorporates a calendar and a local
Contact List.
Have you installed Windows Live Mail on your computer? If so,
installation of WLMail on your local computer would have imported
your contact list from Outlook Express. When you subsequently
used WLMail to sign into your Live identity on the central server
(i.e. an Identity based upon your Hotmail email address), WLMail
would have synchronized your your local Contact list with your
Contact list on the Microsoft server .
If you have installed WLMail on your local computer, then that
almost certainly how your contact list migrated to the Hotmail
server at Microsoft.
You say you have deleted your contacts from the Hotmail server.
To prevent them migrating back to the central server, open WLMail
and allow the program to sign into your Hotmail Live Identity.
Then, press Ctrl / F5 together, to synchronize everything.
Following synchronization, check whether your contacts are still
in WLMail. If so, delete them.
Then, use your web browser to sign into your Hotmail account via
the web interface. If your Contacts have reappeared on the
central server, delete them.
Finally, return to Windows Live Mail and synchronize everything
again. Hopefully, this final synchronization will ensure the
deletion becomes permanent in both places.

When using your browser you are accessing Windows Live Hotmail, not Windows Live Mail.
Hotmail.com(Windows Live Hotmail) is not capable of importing anything from OE.
Did you ever install Windows Live Mail(a separate desktop email program) recently or some prior point in time ?
