Mark Aisthorpe Crazy Courier Member Registered: 02/03/02 Posts: 2355 Loc: London UK	I use Windows Live Mail. I didn't have any problems setting it up. It works the same as Outlook Express, go to Tools, Accounts, Add, and enter your e-mail and ISP details. You'l need your ISP's POP3 and SMTP (incoming and outgoing mail) addresses but you should be able to get them off there site. Also try the different authentications for incoming mail and tick/untick authentication for outgoing mail to see what works. If it worked with Outlook Express it should work with Windows Live Mail. _________________________ Asus P5Q3 C2D Q9650 @3.6 8Gb Corsair Vengeance DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz GTX580 3Gb Akasa 1000w PSU Antec 1200 gaming case Dell E207WFP 20" WS LCD 1680x1050 Win 7 Home Premium 64bit SP1 GfWL = Ham N Pork Steam = Dangerous Beans

Raw Kryptonite Beat the Kobayashi Maru Hotshot Registered: 04/04/08 Posts: 6562 Loc: MS	My main machine I use Outlook 2007 due to the other functions. Otherwise I use Thunderbird on others. A lot of control. I don't like Windows Live Mail, can't even lay it out how I want so it was just downhill after that. In fact, most Windows Live apps are kinda crappy, come to think of it. Movie Maker comes to mind too. Thunderbird is very nice, and free is always good. _________________________ Xbox 360 & a PC currently undergoing mitosis •AMD Athlon 64 X2 DC 6000, 3GHz •3GB PC2 5300 DDR2 •Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 2 GB •Creative SB X-Fi Fatal1ty Pro / Logitech Z-5500 •Logitech G27, Nixim mod

Reschke Plankowner Member Registered: 03/04/07 Posts: 563 Loc: Vestavia, AL	There is a way to pull Windows Mail from Vista over to Win7. I have read about it several times since I like the way WinMail works. I have to have something that is compatible with Outlook (don't have it and don't want it) since my old work PC had that and many of the files are stuck in formats that Thunderbird for some reason doesn't like to try and read. _________________________ VF-17 "The Jolly Rogers" i7920 @ 2.67GHz 6GB RAM EVGA GeForce GTX470 EVGA X58 SLI LE Samsung DVD Burner Samsung SyncMaster P2770FH TrackIR 5 with Track Clip Pro Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit Warthog #1397...compliments of SimHQ
