Problem deleting contacts with 3 accounts in WLM

by ngblg2 - 6/8/12 11:51 AM

Try to delete in WLM account A but deletion occurs in accounts B and C as well. How can you delete contacts in WLM in one account but keep contacts in other accounts?

What do you mean with "account"? The usual meaning is the account with the mail provider, but that doesn't have contact persons in WLM. It just has mail.

See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Windows-Mail-setting-up-an-account-from-start-to-finish for what I mean.

What I meant to say is that each account has a separate contact list but some names are common to each other. When I delete a name ind one gmail account it also gets deleted in a other gmaill account where I want to keep that name on the contact list..

You hadn't said you meant contacts, so I assumed you meant mails. Now where are those contact lists located? On the gmail server or on your PC?

Read more about how WLM handles contacts in http://liveunplugged.wordpress.com/2011/02/04/windows-live-mail-contacts-database/
This might contain enough information to clear your issue.

gmail contacts in WlLM can't be deleted selectively

Thanks for trying to help me by directing me to web address:
http://liveunplugged.wordpress.com/2011/02/04/windows-live-mail-contacts-database/
but I am not a techie.
Let me clarify the probelm. I have several gmail accounts residing onmy Windows Live Mail. In those several email accounts there are some contact which are the same in each account. However I want to delete some of those names selectively. I want get rid of a contact that appears on one gmaill account and keep that very same name on other gmail accounts. When I use the delete function on WLM for a name on one gmail account it deletes the same contact on all the other accounts.

Thanks for your interest.
