My husband has had his Hotmail e-mail address
since it's inception and hates to give it up just because we now have Vista. Anyone know of a way to get Hotmail to work with Outlook Exp ? Thanks |

Crossposted to Vista (Windows) Mail newsgroup.
Bubey, you need to post your questions to microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail newsgroup now that you're running Vista. Vista doesn't have Outlook Express; your mail client is now Windows Mail. See http://www.microsoft.com/windows/pro...ails/mail.mspx You cannot access Hotmail accounts in Windows Mail. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) since 2002 AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net; DTS-L http://dts-l.org/ Bubey wrote: My husband has had his Hotmail e-mail address since it's inception and hates to give it up just because we now have Vista.

Bubey, if you need Hotmail access you will need to upgrade
Windows Mail to Windows Live Hotmail: http://get.live.com/betas/maildesktop_betas Gary VanderMolen "PA Bear" wrote in message ... Crossposted to Vista (Windows) Mail newsgroup.

Oops, I meant Windows Live Mail, not Windows Live Hotmail.

Thanks guys, but it's still web-based e-mail, not
on our Hard Drive. I am a security freak I guess. Can I go back to OE 6 on Vista if I want? (I know, Pa Bear, it's suppose to be in Vista but I trust your answers rather than start another post).

I agree that technically it is not an upgrade, but I find that calling
it such seems to help non-savvy users understand what installing WLM does to their PC. I don't have the time or patience to go into a long-winded explanation.

Non-savvy users, especially those used to OE and who are now encountering
Windows Mail, just want the default mail client to work and to be able to access their email account(s) in it, period. IMHO such users are not interested in nor are good candidate for installing another mail client, especially one that's still in beta. -- ~PA Bear Gary VanderMolen wrote: I agree that technically it is not an upgrade, but I find that calling it such seems to help non-savvy users understand what installing WLM does to their PC.
