My account is set for windows mail...however, any time i try send pictures, they end up going through microsoft outlook. I have Vista (not very happy with it). I originally had my e-mail set up for microsoft outlook but got tired of using a password everytime i tried to send/receive mail. So i changed to windows mail. Thank you |

You want to assign the "mailto:' protocol to WinMail. Control Panel, Default Programs, click "Associate a filetype or protocol..", scroll to the bottom for the protocols. -- Please use the Communities guidelines when posting. http://www.microsoft.com/wn3/locales/help/help_en-us.htm Use the "Ratings" feature.

Then you had the account set up wrong when you used Outlook. If you prefer Outlook to Windows Mail, go to your email provider's support pages and see what settings you should use (POP, password, ports etc.). Most providers have simple tutorials for how to set up an email account with all the major email clients.

Anything less than Outlook 2003 will prompt for the password every time. It's a known issue. OP doesn't say which version. gls858 |

So i > changed to windows mail. See Mark Ferguson's answer to your question. But regarding your changing from Outlook because you "got tired of using a password everytime [you] tried to send/receive mail," let me point out that that is not the nature of Outlook. If that's what was happening, you simply had your E-mail account set up incorrectly in Outlook. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup |

Yes, you are both probably right. I had forgotten about that. If it's Outlook 2000, it's not really incompatible, but it won't save passwords under Vista. That is likely what he is referring to, although he didn't make it clear what version of Outlook he was running. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup |
