Backing up my cell onto the computer

[Julie]

I ahve a Moto Q phone. Calling Motorola, they advised to download Windows
Mobile device center. Upon doing that it says that Outlook is not installed.
Going further, I find out because I have Vista, and Yahoo, Outlook is no
longer used. So I need to work on, I guess Outlooks off-spring, Microsoft
Mail.--Who knows, because now, that won't send or receive messages, nor will
it verify my user name or password.--Question, Do I delete Microsoft Mail, or
the addresses, (and start all over) and How in the world do I back up my
phone in the meantime so I can update it because that is a whole other matter?

The Windows Mail program is a part of Vista, and very hard to delete without
also deleting the rest of Vista. You can, however, delete the icons on your
desktop that make it easy to start.

Versions 2003 and more recent of Outlook run well under Vista. Versions
2000 and 2002 will run under Vista, but with problems. Outlook Express
is a different program, and won't run under Vista.

Some, but not all, versions of Microsoft Office include Outlook:
