How can I uninstall ...

When I bought my computer, it came with Vista and Windows Mail. Yesterday I
installed Windows Live Mail and I love that one better. I tried to
uninstall Windows Mail but it's not listed in my "Uninstall or change a
program list" I went to :
control panel/programs/programs and features/uninstall or change a program,
the only program that I found was Windows Live Mail but not Windows Mail.

Thanks

That's part of Windows itself just like IE 7 or WMP 11 on Vista. You would have tear apart Windows to see that removed. You would better off simply ignoring it and using the live mail as the preference rather then editing the registry and deleting anything else manually.

You can't uninstall Windows Mail.
If you don't wish to use it, just remove all accounts from it.

I was going to suggest that as well. Once you import your contacts list into Live Mail simply clear everything out of Windows Mail including any accounts and let it be. Later if you decide to use Windows Mail again you won't need to reinstall Windows to see that replaced.
