Email Accounts

I would really appreciate it if you could please give me the names of any
free email accounts that are compatible with Windows Live Mail (POP3) and
that are simple to install. I have had enough of my problems with Gmail and
would like to remove it. Will the removal be straight forward?

Thanks.

Many internet providers offer free email accounts, but only to their
own customers. You might want to check if your internet provider
does this.

Re: Email Accounts

Gmail is the one that springs to mind, if you prefer POP3 access.
You don't *have* to use IMAP, if you don't need the advantages it
gives.

You can just right-click on the account and select Remove account.

Re: Email Accounts

Removing the account will also remove the email in that account.

Re: Email Accounts

It's an IMAP account, Ron. Everything should be safely stored on the
server.

The only free POP3 email that I know of is nationalized Yahoo! Mail. If
English is your only language, a Yahoo! Mail account in the 'yahoo.co.uk',
or 'yahoo.com.au' domain can be had. I have the latter (and, because I am
moderately competent in Japanese, also a 'yahoo.co.jp' account). All you
need to do is sign up for "Yahoo! Delivers", and Yahoo! turns on access to
their POP3 and SMTP servers.

http://au.yahoo.com/
http://uk.yahoo.com/

If you were willing to try IMAP services, I can think of a couple of others.

Re: Email Accounts

When Denise said, "I have had enough of my problems with Gmail and would
like to remove it.", I read that to mean that she no longer wants to use
Gmail.
If so, then any Gmail email that she wants to keep in WLM should be moved to
Storage folders.

Re: Email Accounts

Noel, the only reason I want to change is that I have that "All Mail"
folder, which I can't stand as I can't delete from it - see Posting 03/05/08
10:28.
* I thought changing email service provider would solve my problem! Will
it disappear from WLM when I remove the account?
* I really don't care what I lose except for my contacts - will I still
have them? I am getting desperate!!!
Thanks, Denise

Re: Email Accounts

I thought Yahoo (free) was taboo on Windows Mail and, therefore also on WLM!
Am I wrong?
