Okay I've read and read about Windows mail. Every body has the same problem I
have. I want to use Win Mail as default and it won't let me. I've cut and
paste
"c:\program files\windows mail\winmail.exe" /reg as required and I've done
the default thing. Little by little I will forward about 1-1/2 gigs of
hotmail over to my win mail. Seems that this is the only way.
How many man hours are being spent by players like me ? Wow seems like a
windows fix is in order.
I'm about 2 shakes away from formating this drive and going back to XP Pro 64
Did any body yet win mail to default yet?
 
As I said in the msg. I've tried that I've tried every thing that has been
mention in all the community mail. When I clink Windows Mail in the "Set up
Default programs"
This new Vista is cheesez with no more boxes to click and on click. I
highlight the Set as Default etc. and click Ok...It says "this program has
all it's defalts"

Only way I can find out if it's working is to send my self mail.
Is it that you cannot receive any mail if it's "Hotmail" ?

I am buying "Office Ultimate Ed. Will that have a new sort of mail in it
that will allow me to keep my Hotmail account? And be more like Outlook?
Outlook is the only MS product that scores 100% with me and now MS as put it
to bed.
 
Hotmail is not supported by WinMail, so you have to use another program if
you depend upon Hotmail.

I have a Hotmail.co.uk email id that is handled well by
Windows Live Mail Desktop and I get the impression
that WLMD is Microsofts favoured way forward for mail
and probably receives more resources from their
research, development and support budgets than
Windows Mail.
 
Yeah, my opinion of it is biased unfavorably for a number of reasons -- one
of which is all the bugs you see people are having with Windows Mail.
