| | Re: converting from hotmail or msn.com to vista mail Windows Mail is an email client (program), not a service (account). Windows Mail cannot access your MSN/Hotmail account, it can only access POP and IMAP accounts. MSN/Hotmail has been replaced with Windows Live Hotmail, which can be accessed with a web browser or with the newer Windows Live Mail program. -- http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview "Tom M" <tkmgator@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:#5ggKsTWIHA.4448@xxxxxx Quote: > any instructions on how to change from a msn.com email account to new > windows vista mail? |

Windows Mail does not support website base email. You might consider using the free Windows Live Mail (WLM) instead. It supports Pop3, IMAP, HTTP website (EX: Hotmail) email, and is a lot more stable. Plus, WLM will minimize to a tray bar icon and has a separate Inbox for each email account. WLM will automatically import Windows Mail messages, accounts, and settings into it. Contacts will have to be manually imported from within WLM. (Tools, Contacts, File, Import, Address book for current Windows User.) To see the Menu bar, press ALT+M and check "Show all menus". Windows Live Suite Downloads Shawn |
