Windows Mail vs. Vista

F

Franz

Hallo,

I am using Windows Mail as my default mail client. After installing
Office 2007 I opened Outlook 2007 for some reason and configured my
mail account there.

Since that time I am not able to search for mails using Vista Search.
If Windows Mail is configured as standard mail application (has every
standard) mails can be found, but not opened. An error message is
displayed which tells me, that no standard mail client is available
(in German: "Es ist kein standardmäßiger E-Mail-Client vorhanden, oder
der aktuelle E-Mail-Client kann die Messaginganforderung nicht
erfüllen..."). Then I configured Outlook as my standard mail client,
which didn't solve my issue, because the message is not displayed any
more, but the mail cann't be opened.

I suppose, Outlook tries to find the mail, which - of course - cannot
be found, because it's in Windows Mail.

Do you have any ideas to solve this problem?

Thanks!

Franz

It looks like you have also installed Windows Live Mail, so you now have
Windows Mail, Outlook and Windows Live Mail, three different mail programs.
Which do you want as the default mail program?

I'd like to use Windows Mail as my default mail program. In the
meantime I've uninstalled Outlook 2007.
Now no mail program is listed in the search locations dialog box.

Start | Default Programs
Make sure that Windows Mail has all three of its defaults.

Maybe, I found the answer :)

It seems to be, Windows Mail does not have a single file to store all
mails (like Outlook has (.ost/.pst), but saves every mail in a
single .eml file in the file system structure. Because .eml files are
indexed automatically there is no need to define Windows Mail as
location where mails can be found.

So, if Outlook is installed and Outlook is your default mail
client, .eml files are found too, so it's possible to find mails in
Outlook and Windows Mail.

I didnt't test this, but this is my theory about this mysterious
history....

what do you think about this?

Thanks for your answer!
