Windows mail

[machomanjoe]

I have Windows Vista Home Premium. I hate Windows mail because I do not
receive many of my email messages. Some tell me it's the yahoo portal that
verizon uses. Others say Windows mail is not good. I loved Outlook Express
when I had XP. Can I get rid of Windows mail and just go back to OE with the
Vista? Is it a yahoo portal problem? Please help!

Outlook Express can not be installed on Vista.

I don't understand your reference to "yahoo portal". It shouldn't have
anything to do with email.

Verizon has four different kinds of email service. Perhaps you have
Verizon's version of Yahoo Mail. If so, check your Windows Mail settings
for that account against these instructions:

Download and try Windows Live Mail. If I understand right, it is based on
Outlook Express. I like it much better than Windows Mail.

Overview
Windows Live Mail is a desktop application that lets you access multiple
e-mail accounts in one place—even Yahoo! Premium and Gmail accounts. Search
for messages across multiple accounts. Drag, drop, and organize your mail
with one click. Preview messages in the Reading Pane. Get powerful virus
scanning and cleaning. Block suspicious messages and destroy junk e-mail
with a single click. Help protect your e-mail accounts from harmful phishing
scams. Create and edit photo e-mails in a snap.

You can download the installer from here.
