windows live mail vs. windows mail

[Kevin]

Why are some e-mails coming into WLM and others into WM? Wm is set to be my
default handler, so why do some go to WLM? i would prefer just one, is one
better than the other, do i need to uninstall one of the other? thanx.

Email will only go into WM or WLM if you have accounts set up in them.
If you don't want to use one of them, remove the accounts from it.

You can uninstall WLM, but not WM.

Also, if you want to keep Windows Mail functional for use when
there is a problem with WLM, simply disable automatic downloading.
In WM: Tools, Options, on the General tab uncheck "Send and receive
messages at startup" and "Check for new messages..."

Don't open the program you don't want to receive the mail. Or else remove
the account. The server will deliver the mail to whichever program asks for
it first.
