Your tutorial worked great for me. I still have one problem with Windows Mail though. I cannot make it the Default Mail Program. Clicking on links still opens Outlook. Even if if I open Windows Mail and change the setting in Tools > Options > General Clicking the button won't change the default settings.

Have a look at this thread to see if you find the answer. Can't Make Windows Mail Default

Or this thread. http://www.sevenforums.com/general-d...ult-fixed.html

The copy over from the Vista installation here worked great for the 32bit 7 when tried before you wrote this one Mr GRIM! With the 64bit 7 now running I now have to grab the x64 zip here to give it a whirl while the ISP however may present another problem unless importing the mail from Lve Hotmail.

Hi,

Thank you guys, it's cool to have Windows Mail in Windows 7.
But there is one problem: if I change the location of the storage folder (because I don't like keeping this huge 18 GB/ 200 000 files monster on the C:\ drive) - Windows Mail won't open any more (error message saying something about problems with some .dll). When I manually deleted the new storage folder, Window Mail went back to life (surprisingly - all the mail was still there, meaning that it was never "moved" it was copied - strange).

Thank you,

latet

And another problem - the native antyspam filter won't work at all.

Sorry, Microsoft asked us to remove them.

Frak, anyone that can PM me where I can download them ? Don't want to install Windows Vista just to get it :P But I need Windows Mail.

Hi Dezent, welcome to the forums.

You could try Windows Live mail that comes with Live Essentials. Just a thought
