Thinking AOL web-mail would be used as the E-mail client on this system, to
avoid confusion, Windows Mail was removed from the Start Menu list. The
program remains on the system, and it has been possible to place an icon on
the desktop to access it, but it would be good if it could be restored to
its rightful place at the top (under the Internet Explorer link) of the
Start menu (what you get when clicking on the encircled Microsoft symbol in
the lower left corner of the screen). How should that be done?

AOL web-mail has lost out to Windows Mail as the preferred e-mail client,
since AOL's page is just so "busy" that it's difficult to navigate.
 
We heard you the first time. It takes a while for messages to get through
the system, so it is best to wait at least an hour before assuming that a
message has not gotten through.
 
Not having used this before, I wasn't sure it had posted. Thank you for
helping me understand how it's expected to work.
 
The encircled Microsoft symbol in the lower left is most often referred to as the Orb

Click on the Orb
Find Windows Mail on the Programs menu
Select Windows Mail with your mouse, Right Click then scroll and select Pin to Start Menu
Click the Orb
Select Windows Mail and drag it to the desired location(up or down)


If not present on the Programs Menu, just drag the desktop shortcut to the Orb...the menu should open up, scroll up to the desired
location and release.
