    The default setting is to open new messages in Outlook Express. I want to
    stop this and use Gmail . Can anyone help me to reset OE or Gmail to achieve
    this?

    Outlook Express won't work in Vista.
    Do you mean Windows Mail?
    You can access Gmail via a web browser, or enable POP or IMAP and download
    your messages. Which do you want to do?

    What does this question have to do with the topic of this newsgroup,
    the Windows Mail program?
    If you meant to say Windows Mail (instead of OE), try this Gmail fix:

    I have not used that fix, and don't know if it works in Vista.
