Mail Merge

[Michelle]

i have tried and tried to send mail using excel 2007 and 2003. i got through
each step with mail merge hit send looks like it is sending but nothing goes
out.
few notes that might be important. i was using incredimail. windows mail
is my default mail. i have never used outlook on this computer as it runs
vista and windows mail is my only option. i can send and receive mail from
windows mail without any troubles at all. mail merge just wont send messages
any help would be welcomed. i have also uninstalled incredimail but still
same troubles sending in mail meger

You will need to install Outlook.
Mail merge requires a mail client that is fully MAPI qualified.
Windows Mail is only a Simple MAPI client, so you can't use it for
mail merge. For more on this topic see
