Re: trouble connecting internet account

Windows Mail cannot access Hotmail, or any http accounts

Hi Trouble Shooting,

Windows Mail (WM) does not support website (HTTP) email. I would recommend to switch to Windows Live Mail. It will support it and is not buggy like WM.

Windows Live Mail Beta

Re: trouble connecting internet account

Clicking on a mail link on a website uses the MailTo handler
which normally calls the default mail program.

Do you ever use Windows Mail or any other POP mail client?
If not, and you only use Live Hotmail, you can make it the
mail app which handles defaults like the MailTo:
