Who provides your email service? Or to ask that question another way,
what is the part of your email address after the @ symbol?
Your mail provider will typically have a web page that shows how to
set up an email program. If you need more help, tell us the name of
your email service provider.

Call your ISP and they will walk you through the process for free..

My email for years has been @msn.com-Buuuuttt that won't work anymoreI also
have a "live" acct but that doesn't change anything.These VISTA directions
are cryptic-I must be getting dumber

To set up a Comcast account in Windows Mail, follow these directions:

Those directions were written for Outlook Express, but Windows Mail
uses the same settings.

Both your msn.com and live.com email addresses will work if you
upgrade to Windows Live Mail: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview
