Then delete that account from Windows Live Mail. If it is an IMAP, or HTTPMail account, you shouldn't need to move the email out of the account folders before deleting the account; but I'd do it anyway, just to be certain. If all you will ever do is use Windows Live Mail for newsgroup access, there is no need to set up an email account. Just the news account will suffice. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum |
