    Windows Mail will not support MSN account

    Look here y'all, I'm not the most computer savvy person on the blog but I would like to know why Windows Mail will not support my original MSN email address? Microsoft seems to know everything else. I had my email address for a very long time and I would think that Microsoft would have just rolled the addresses over to the new system. Am I kidding myself to think that I could possibly get my original address onto Windows Mail or am I simply screwed?

    Hello Mrs. Superman, and welcome to Vista Forums.

    Windows Mail does not support website based email such as an MSN Live Hotmail email account, so you will not be able to with Windows Mail.

    You can however use a Hotmail account with the free Windows Live Mail program instead.

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn
