Can't uninstall Windows Live Mail

Continued from: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/68...tml#post991120

Sorry not to have replied earlier, I have been away. I did try Live Mail but prefer not to have emails divided into seperate email accounts - it makes quick checking more difficult. Is there any way in which this division can be avoided?

Many thanks

Hello Ben,

Sorry, but there is no way around Windows Live Mail having a separate set of Inboxes per email account. You may give the free Thunderbird a try instead then.

Re: Windows Mail Spell Check

Many thanks. I did have Live Mail on my computer but get the message that msmail.dll was corrupted (my computer and software is only a couple of months old). I then tried to download from the Live Mail website, but after downloading got the message that Liuve Mail is already installed. Any advice would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Re: Windows Mail Spell Check

In Programs and Features in the Control Panel, click on the listed Windows Live Essentials uninstall item. When this window opens, select Windows Live Mail to uninstall. That should remove the one already installed for you.

Re: Windows Mail Spell Check

Sorry to be a nuisance, but when I click on to Windows Live Essentials in control panel/programs and features, I get the Live Care window asking to continue but after I click ‘continue’ nothing happens. I have rebooted the computer, but it is the same.

No problem Ben,

Live Care may be interfering with it. Temporarily disable it, then see if you can uninstall WLM.

Re: Can't uninstall Windows Live Mail

I would go ahead and just try Thunderbird since you said that Windows Live Mail was not what you wanted anyway.

Trying to manually delete it may cause more damage than it is worth.
