Windows Mail to Microsoft Office Outlook mail. How to make it def

[Sallie]

My new computer came w/ Windows mail.. i set it up fine. Now I downloaded
2007 Office w/ Outlook mail so my phone can sync to calendar. Emails are
still comming in on Windows Mail. How do I stop that and get my Outlook to
be default?

You have to manually transfer your email account details from windows Mail to
Outlook, then make Outlook your default email program.

You need to bring over your Username, email address, password, incoming
email and outgoing email server adresses.

Get whoever set up your Windows Mail account to do it for you.
