| | No longer supports HTTP servers I am attempting to email someone, and the email is on their website as a link, when i click it, it comes up with its own email server in a seperate window, once i type in my message and hit send it asks for my email account, at which point i type in my hotmail mailing address, after this i am told " Windows Mail no longer supports the HTTP servers used by hotmail and other web-based e-mail providers" it then has a link to fix the problem, which asks me to install windows live. I did this and the problem isnt fixed. Any ideas? |

| | Re: No longer supports HTTP servers I am new at this, so don't laugh at my question. I tried to follow your instructions to make hotmail my default email service, but it didn't work. Can you tell me how to "unzip" the files? Thanks.
