No Mail Account

I have just tried clicking on Send/Receive in Mail (Vista). Send/Receive is grayed out, so nothing happens. When I look at my accounts I find that there isn't one. I tried to re-create my account but am told that "An error has occurred...". I have contacted my service provider but they can't help me (they suggested downloading Outlook).

Whenever I have a computer problem I look at what I have done since the computer last worked properly. Today I used Revo Uninstaller to uninstall half a dozen programs I no longer use. Is it possible that while doing this I have inadvertently deleted a line(s) from the registry?

You probalbly deleted the email client.

Download Windows Live Mail.

If you did not delte your email client and you are worried about the registry, I suggest that you use system restore from before the delte. Yes, all the programs will be back, but you can delete them now and be sure not to touch the registry. You may want to do only one at a time and make sure the computer works properly before doing the next. Make a system restore point before each uninstall, so you can go back.

Thanks richc46,

After posting my problem I decided to do a system restore. I was not optimistic as I was afraid that I had inadvertently deleted a line in the registry. Fortunately it worked and I have Mail Back!
