why can't I use Windows Mail on Vista using hotmail.com

[Sandra Shepard]

My new system tells me "doesn't recognize hotmail" domain.
Where do I correct for it to read hotmail.com?
Is this the only reason I can't utilize? Vista is new to me and I don't yet
have Windows Suite software.

They designed it out of Windows Mail so that you would have to switch to
Windows Live Mail

You will need to download Windows Live Mail if you want to use
a Hotmail account in your email program.

Thx for great response. Have done, but don't know if it "works". My
fingers are crossed.

Awesome. Have downloaded. Am giving it a try. However, when I attempt to
"Reply" rather than "Reply Group", I get same message as before saying it
doesn't recognize "hotmail". Grr.

When you use the "Reply" button from within an email program
that is not your default email program, it can produce bizarre
results. Is the error message coming from the email program or
from a web page? Can you right-click on the error message, copy
it, then paste it into a reply here?

Have you set up your live.com email address in Windows Live Mail,
and are you able to send and receive email through it?
