New to Vista / Need help w/ e-mail

[Guest]

Hi! I just purchased a Dell loaded w/ Vista. I currently have an email
account w/ my DSL provider however it does not allow me to open .msg
attachments. So, I understand that w/ Vista I have e-mail but how exactly do
I set it up and can it be the same address as my dsl account?

You have to get that information from your ISP. Each ISP is different.

BUT, WinMail also will not open MSG attachments. That is an Outlook (not
Outlook Express) format and as far as I know only another Exchange program
like Outlook will open them.
