Additional Details

I installed Windows Live Mail on 6 December 2011 and added a Google Mail account to it.  It was working fine until about a week ago when every time I went to check my mail it would give me the following message:

Windows Live Mail

Some errors occurred while processing the requested tasks.

Please review the list of errors below for more details.

1 of 2 tasks have completed successfully

I clicked on the Error tab in that window and there was nothing listed there.  I closed out of the windows and clicked on the button to check my mail again and no error message.  The next time I want to check my mail I get that error message and I close out of that window and check it again and it works with no issue.  It has been like this for about a week and it becoming annoying.

What is the issue and how do I fix it or are Google Mail accounts not compatible with this application.  I used the IMAP settings.

    I had this problem too.  Tried to fix Windows live mail thru Essentials.  Reloaded both my hotmail accounts.  Finally used control 5 and had no news groups but clicked on Microsoft Community and unchecked ...include this account when checking for messages and it stopped the error.  This error evidently is more common and should be on microsofts radar.  Poor Noel.  I am running Firefox and Norton 360 and Vista.  I'm good now.  FYI  Debby

    I also used Noel's suggestions to correct the same error message.

    Control 5 to get to the news screen

    then open the account tab (left click)

    then Left click on properties

    on the general tab I found only one news group and was Microsoft community

    I unchecked the check at the bottom of that box (include this account when checking for messages) and that stopped the error message

    Hi dmdsprite

    I have been suffering this nuisance error message for some time but I have tried the steps suggested by Noel Burgess on 21/01/12 at page 4 of this thread.  Although I do not use Newsgroups, I found when I went to the Live Mail Newsgroups (Ctl-5) that there were in fact two newsgroups listed in the folders pane - probably a leftover from when I  moved from Outlook Express.  Also the email address is now defunct.)  Right clicking on these and looking at the Properties showed a tick in the box 'Include this account when checking for new messages'.  I have now removed the ticks and so far have not received any error message when WLM checks for new mails every 30 minutes.

    Suggest you give this method a try.

    Regards - Peternosmas
