How do you create an account with your windows mail? I'm not talking about hotmail or anything like that, I'm talking about the program that comes with your computer, and registering your hotmail account onto that program. I got as far as entering your 'incoming mail server type' and 'outgoing mail server type.

Problem is there is no "New Contact Group" item on my Vista Mail toolbar when using the Windows explorer. Despite looking through all the discussion group replies, and going to the suggested tutorial, I STILL can not get the 'New Contact Group' button to appear.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am thinking yes with todays technology and older email clients doing this, but, when I set up one e-mail, mail comes in to a "Local Folders" "Inbox", so I wonder how I will separate my various accounts. Can I set up each to download into their own set of e-mail account folders rather than everything going to "Local Folders" "Inbox"? If I can set up more than one account, will Windows Mail automatically log into and download all of the email accounts when I open Windows Mail? This is quite difficult to set up when Windows Vista doesn't include help files. Even after I downloaded them, the help files for Windows Mail won't open.

View 4 Replies View RelatedOkay, here it goes. I first started using Windows Mail when I bought a new computer with Windows Vista back in January '09. I have four email accounts which I transferred over from an Outlook Express backup that I did before getting rid of my old computer. Windows Mail automatically set up a set of folders (Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items, Deleted Items, Drafts and Junk E-mail) for each account, each with a different color scheme, similar to Windows Live Mail. My hard drive crashed in June and I'm just now setting things up again with the new hard drive installed. I tried restoring my email accounts from a backup I had but now Windows Mail won't automatically create folders for each account. Instead, I had to set up separate Inbox folders with message rules for each account. However, all the accounts are still sharing the Outbox, Sent Items, Deleted Items, Drafts and Junk E-mail folders. Is there a way to set up a set of these folders for each account using message rules? And also, why did Windows Mail do that automatically for me the first time using it - could it be that the information came from an Outlook Express backup originally?
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen using Windows XP, typing in the first 2-3 letters of an address enabled the whole address to appear in th "TO" line of a new e-mail. With Vista, I am having to type in the full address each time unless working from the contact list. Addresses are not kept in the memory more than a few hours. This means that each time I wish to forward an attachment, the whole e-mail address has to be typed in letter for letter.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have 17 accounts in Windows Mail. When I first start up WM, and go to retrieve mail,. all accounts work fine. But then any subsequent attempt to retrieve mail, and the process ignores the first two accounts. No errors, no message. It's just listed along with the others, but blank in the status column. And no errors reported either. So then if I exit WM and start over, it works fine again... for that first time. And then it's back to the same problem.

My own fault for accepting updates to msn.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use the account function where you supposedly can set up your home account and then your work account in Windows Mail. Having done away with identities, you have to use tools->accounts to set them up. I have two accounts set up, one is me, the other is support, but I can't seem to find out how to switch between them. When I set them to be the default account, each in its turn it merged all the messages in my inbox view.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI, use the email for listing my auctions on several sites. We, use to have Outlook Express on the older computer. With this new computer we are using Windows Mail which I can see now is one of the most useless mail systems. When I, go to the page that I want to link to, and copy the address at the top and have it in my que, I then go to the email and click on the hyperlink button and paste the address in with the Type of File set for http:, and do a OK.
Now when I save the message, and then go back to it the link works, but if I go somewhere else in Windows Mail and come back to the message, sometimes the link works and sometimes it doesn't. Then when you open the hyperlink button again the address has either disappeared or it has change Type of File to "(other)" What made it change the Type of File to "(Other)"??
So, I grab the address again, and change the Type of File back to http: and paste the address into the box, Hit OK. Then on the email I can copy what I want so I can transfer the information plus the hyperlink to other messages that need the same information in them. But then when I go back and check those hyperlinks they have been changed from http: to (other) so now the hyperlink will return a non-valid-address. What is making this happen??
