Vista - e-mail issues

03-16-2009

I just bought a new computer and am running Vista for the first time. I have
2 issues. First, I receive email OK but when I go out to get mail IE
SEND/RECEiVE I get an error if no new mail exists on the server. My second
issue is that from my MSN home page when I hit the upper right icon for
email, it brings up microsoft outlook instead of microsoft mail. When
Outlook comes up, it is hidden under the MSN home page. Anybody out there
have any ideas?

1) Please copy and paste the unedited error message to your reply here.

2) go to default programs, either from the start menu or in Control
Panel>set your default programs>wait for the list of programs to
populate>select Windows Mail and ensure that it is set as default.
