| | windows mail help I have vista home premium and am using windows mail. Most of the time when I click on the mail icon I get the error message that windows mail has stopped working and will be closed. Dell has provided no help except to contact microsoft. I was wondering if someone could help me get to windows mail without the error message but if not can you use outlook express with vista? Thank you. Debbie |

| | Re: windows mail help Hi Debbie. Sorry, you can't install Outlook Express in Vista. Unfortunately, Windows Mail has many bugs. Your best solution is to upgrade to Windows Live Mail: http://get.live.com/betas/maildesktop_betas It will automatically import your Windows Mail accounts, settings, and emails.

| | RE: windows mail help Dear Debbie, It`s possible to use OUTLOOK EXPRESS for Windows Vista. You will get no problems at all. You will not see OUTLOOK EXPRESS, but you will still see WINDOWS MAIL. Don`t worry about it. -- Y`re welcome, Hubert. "Debbie" wrote: > I have vista home premium and am using windows mail.

Debbie I would go with Gary's suggestion amd switch to Windows Live Mail. It is better and has support for website email. Shawn |

Windows Mail IS for all intents and purposes the same thing as Outlook Express was, only with some added features and upgraded interface. Sue |

See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 and you might try compacting the database with my Windows Mail Utility: www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/ steve "Debbie" <debbiesg@kc.rr.com> wrote in message news:FFE0089C-878E-451A-B9E9-CF2DDCD71D99@microsoft.com... >I have vista home premium and am using windows mail.
