Windows Mail

I mentioned Eset NOD32 (AV) Anti Virus only version, is just what I use for AV protection, and is a good one, but there are a few good ones out there so whatever your choice is a personal decision.

As far as partition imaging programs goes, well here too there are a few good ones out there.

Glad to here you are on the mend towards good health. All the Best to You!

I have a question based on my typing wrong. I ran the 32bit batch file, and Win mail did not work. Well, of course not. I have a 64 bit system. (duh) I reran it with the 64 bit batch file, and winmail now runs fine. Do I need to go into my registry and delete something, or will having the incorrect 32 bit file there not hurt anything?

Thanks for a great program!!!!

No there's really nothing to do, both versions merge the exact same WinMailEdit.reg file, the only difference is that either .bat places the 32 or 64 bit version of the msoe.dll - and so by you running the win64mail.bat it overwrote the msoe.dll with the correct one - so you're good to go, enjoy

I have been trying to follow the steps outlined here but I get stuck when it comes to this bit...

Execute the command below in the Administrator:Command Prompt window

The easiest and surest way is to copy the entire line and paste it.
cd %USERPROFILE%\Downloads\TutReWinMail\

I don't know what to put in the 'userprofile' bit...I have tried my pc name but that does not work.

Can someone help me with this please.

Thanks

Hello Jan, and welcome to Seven Forums.

You would use that command exactly as is instead.

%UserProfile% is a variable used so that it can be a universal command for the user profile folder location of whomever is using it.

Personally, you would be much better off using something like Windows Live Mail instead. Windows Mail is no longer supported by Microsoft.

Hope this helps, :)
Shawn

As Brink said you don't add or put anything extra to that command, you use it exactly as is.
..and just like the instructions say to do, you copy/paste that line exactly as it is.

I looked at moving from Winmail in Vista to the same in W7 but eventually decided it wasn't worth the grief and opted for eM Client.
Works beautifully and has a host of benefits !
