I have never been able to use the email feature on this new computer.
However, I can use MSN Live, gmail and yahoo mail. Is ther some magical
upgrade you can zip to me?

The Windows Mail program will not work with email accounts
that are not POP or IMAP. MSN Live and Yahoo Mail typically
have webmail access only. For about $20 per year you can
upgrade those accounts to have POP access.

Gmail can be either webmail or POP. It requires changing a
setting to make it POP-capable, see

Another option is to upgrade your Windows Mail to Windows
Live Mail: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview
It can handle POP/IMAP mail as well as Live and Hotmail accounts
at no extra charge.
