I know what Windows Live Mail is, and I set it up just like you'd set up
OE.
Very simple to do; emailuser namepasswordPOP3 addressSMTP addresssave

Nothing to it. After doing that it should sign into my primary email
account and retrieve messages.
It doesn't work. It doesn't do what it's supposed to do, and I don't know
why.
When I bring up the email client it has a box to sign in. Same as Windows
Live Signin.
But it will not allow me to signin. The box has a "grayed out" example
user
name
and a grayed out password. The cursor is flashing at the far left side of
the example user name.
The cursor will not move and I cannot type anything in where the samples
are.
This should be way easy and it's not working the way it's supposed to
work.

If I can give any other information that would be helpful, I'd be happy to
do it.
If you want to use TeamViewer and come on the machine and look for
yourself,
let me know.

Windows Live is several programs.
Windows Live Mail is the email program.
What do you mean it doesn't work? Do you get any error messages?
You add accounts to WLMail almost the same as adding accounts to OE.

To use OE, you would have run XP in a virtual machine.

I installed Windows 7 Ultimate (trial) on my Acer laptop and now OE is
missing.
How do I go about getting OE installed on the machine?

When I tried to find it online, Microsoft suggested I use Windows Live
in place of OE. I installed Windows Live and set up the mail client,
but it doesn't work. I would like to use OE as my email client.

Thank you
