Windows mail

I have windiws mail as my primary mail server. It came with windows vista. I
also have microsoft office pro 2007 and with that came Office oulook mail. I
had both set up even though i rarely used outlook mail. The problem i'm
having is when ever i click on a web page to send to a friend it always goes
directly to outlook mail. I have no addresees in out look and would rather it
go to windoww mail as default. I un istalled outlook mail and now when i
click on a web page to send to a friend it says unable to send . something to
do ewith defualt mail server not set up. Any help?

Windows Mail and Outlook are mail clients, not servers.

Go to Start | Default Programs and make sure Windows Mail has all three of
it's accounts. You will have to repeat this every time Outlook gets an
update.

Re: Windows mail


Frank, et al....

Am having the same problem as mbelter2. I checked my defaults as you
recommended, they are ok. Opened windows mail and attempted to email a
pic from my photo gallery, still automatically opens outlook. I have no
trouble receiving or sending emails I create. The only time outlook
opens is when I attempt to send an attachement. Thanks for your help.
