Hi Jim,

You might see if this will work for you.

1. Open Start Menu.
2. In white line (Start Search) area, type "winmail.exe" (no quotes)
3. Right click on the "winmail.exe" at the top of the left white side and click "Send to > Desktop (create shortcut)".

Now you have a shortcut of Window Mail on your desktop that you can place where you like.

My IP provider, Road Runner recommends the use of Windows Mail as the e-mail
client. I would prefer to use Microsoft Outlook, but it doesn't take my email
off their server as quickly as Windows Mail [guessing here]. I have set up
the Microsoft Outlook for the time being.
Is there a place where I can download the Windows Mail program? I got this
pc back in April and have been looking all over for the installation disk and
cannot seem to find it.

Any information would be helpful - Thanks, Karen

Hi Karen,

You might consider switching to Windows Live Mail Beta (WLM) instead. It supports Pop3, IMAP, HTTP website (EX: Hotmail) email, and is a lot more stable. Plus, WLM has a separate Inbox for each account. WLM will automatically import Windows Mail messages, accounts, and settings into it. Contacts will have to be manually imported. (Tools, Contacts, File, Import, Address book for current Windows User.)
