Live Mail Lives!

Yaaay!  My Live Mail nightmare is finally over!

Peter Laudati – a local Developer Evangelist from Microsoft managed to get me hooked up with Stephen Sisk from the Live team.  (Thanks Peter!)  Mr. Sisk took a genuine interest in my plight and stayed in regular contact as the Live Mail guys worked through whatever *issues* the Live Mail servers were having with my account.  (Thanks Stephen!)

My first clue that the issues had been corrected was when my Windows Live Mail client miraculously sync’d the folder structure while checking my mail a week or so ago.  The Inbox began accumulating messages that were received from that date forward, but not any messages received before.  Stephen suggested that I remove the account from the Live Mail client and then re-add it.  That did the trick.  When the folder structure synchronized after re-creating the account, all of the old Inbox, Deleted and Sent items sync’d just as they should – even the older ones.

Many thanks to Peter and Stephen for helping to bring this issue to a happy ending!
