I got a pop up for a username and password to access my mail. What I had written down does not work. so....i Have to go to Yahoo mail which I left because of the set up and disgusting ads like rotten teeth and people's cellulite rearends popping up when trying to read mail.So instead today, thought I could sign up for Windows live mail, which took a lot of my time. However, I cannot get my main email account to be accepted in Windows live - and by the way is this going to cost me? I am really hoping that Windows live will not be placing these same type of ads in my mail or I won't use it either. I would really just like to get my Windows mail back because it was perfect.
My current internet provider blocks pop mail to all but their own web based email and further that must use Outlook Express (OE). I discovered that I CAN access my Yahoo email using OE. My new laptop has windows mail that will not work. I'd love to make the current MS Mail work but I suspect it will just be easier to install OE if possible? unless you know some way to get past my "Mediacom" port blocks?
I go to tools and options, and it says "This application is NOT the default mail handler" Then it says "Make default" I click on it, click apply, and then Okay to close the box, but when I reopen it, it says the same thing. I've tried closeing windows mail, and reopening, either way, it will NOT make Windows mail my defaut mail, even though there is no other mail handler on my computer.
I have had this computer for over a year now and I cannot get the Windows Mail to work. I have two desktops (1 for business and 1 for personal). I also have 2 email addresses. I would like for my business emails to come to this computer which I use strictly for business. No matter what I do I cannot receive emails.
After reading : how to enable windows mail tutorial. Windows mail still will not start ? I have enabled the "hidden" admin account and windows mail works fine - configured got email, logged off, logged on still working. BUT in my normal account but still an admin account, no other accounts on system. Windows mail will not start have downloaded the reg file and that has done its job. Logged of, still nothing, switched off - still won't work.
I bought a program called Topalt to delete a lot of duplicate messages and now Windows Mail won't work. All my folders have disappeared except the Inbox and some newsgroup folders but none of them are accessible anyway. The folders themselves are still all physically where they should be, however, and as far as I can tell they're ok.
So how can I repair Windows Mail? My Vista Home Premium came preinstalled on an HP laptop. I don't have an installation CD as such. I did a repair partition wipe and installed Acronis as a recovery tool. Unfortunately, it's been several weeks since I last did a file backup, so to use that for repair would not be at all convenient.
1. A newsgroup show 8 messages unread, but when I click on 'Next unread message' Mail said 'there are no more messages, got to next newsgroup?'. It is the only newsgroup that shows this.
2. A blank screen, something I can't explain, appeared over the screen of Mail. I could not access the Start Button. I did an and picked 'Task Manager', but it never appeared.
3. I could do to get to another application or the desktop, but nothing else. I tried to shut down and but couldn't get to the button. Nothing would work.
This isn't the first time Windows Mail had done strainge things. At present it show no messages but when I first click this newsgroup it show thousands of messages.
I am trying to create a Windows Mail account. I have always used Hotmail and when I try to email someone directly (from craigslist, for example) it pops up that I have to download Windows Mail and then I go through all the info and then it says that a msn.com address won't work with Windows Mail?
Windows mail successfully looks for and loads all mail when first launched but after that all attempts produce errors. I have to delete the program and reload each time to check for new mail. The check for new mail box is ticked by the way. And the Send/Receive button produces - the same result - all tasks failed.
I have been using Windows Vista for a year now. For the first 6 months, Windows Mail worked just fine but now when I try to print messages, it locks up and none of the buttons work. The only way I can get it to respond again is by using the Task Manager to shut it down and then restart it. And even then it sometimes will not work.
I installed the AVG free antispyware software which I thought was a permanent program but after installing it, I noticed that it said it was only a 30 day trial version. So I uninstalled it but the shortcut remained on the desktop and now I cannot delete it. I already have the patch for removing undeletable emails stuck in windows mail, but that obviously doesn't work for anything outside the mail program.

I have a procedure as part of a database system that calls MapiSendDocuments from mapi32.dll thiis onlly appears to work when windows mail is closed. If it is open the email generation fails. Is there an option in windows mail that I have missed or is there a way to allow this remote function call to work with windows mail open?
I have just transferred from a Windows XP PC using Outlook Express 6 to Vista PC with Windows Mail. I successfully migrated one email account and it works fine. On a second account I get the windows security box asking for username and password and even when I enter them correctly I get the box again. When I cancel I get the following error message:
Account: 'Estradia general', Server: '127.0.0.1', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR unknown user name or bad password', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC91. However the username and password are correct, and the account does send and receive emails OK. The account is located with the same ISP as the fully functioning account. I have checked that all the settings etc for the caccount are correct, and have tried manually inputting them with same effect.
I have been trying to download mail on a new computer using Visat mail, but get the following message: Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection.

In Outlook Express I could do the following to extract music from an Email but it doesn't work in Windows Mail: Click Tools>Options>Send, Change settings to Plain Text for sending, Click Apply, then OK, then highlight the message and click Forward and the attached music file should appear just below the Subject line where you can then click File/Save Attachment.
I'm sure this problem is easy to solve. It's just that I can't see it.Because Vista has been causing me so many problems (blue crash screens, system restore doesn't work etc) I must restore to factory settings, wiping the c: disk and starting again. I have backed up all files on an external drive. The problem is that I can't see how to import all my mail accounts and mail history back into Windows Mail which will have been reloaded from new.
Since Norton and McAffee and perhaps the latest version of Trend do not work with Windows Mail (based on informative response provided by Frank Saunders

I've had a problem for a while now. Every time I open Windows Mail up, or the news groups, I get a message saying Windows mail isn't my default mail program, and asks if I want it to be. I click yes every time, but I will still get this message when I open Windows Mail again the next day. Everything's works OK after I click this message. No other errors or anything.
I work with Vista and Windows Mail version 6.0. I tried to add an Hotmail-account but Windows Mail does not allow it. Then I tried to add a Live-account in which I succeeded, but the e-mail account does not appear as an account in the program under my regular Inbox. So, I added an account but it does not work.
