Windows Mail

I think ... WLM and WinMail can co-exist (testing this was sooooo long ago!).

The issue is which client takes precedence - WLM and WinMail both claim the same associations and Windows has to decide which program to launch (default programs).

That being said - this tutorial should 'repair' any changes that WLM made (associate objects with WinMail, set default program ...). The exe, dll, and cfg files reside in different locations - although a few are global (MSHTML.dll for example) - the tut does not touch the global files, only the msoe.dll specific to WinMail.
Note: WinMail Calendar is covered in a separate tutorial

You only need one eMail client - it's a preference thing (or dictated by IT) ... pick one or another.

I was glad to see that the original issue observed by Terri was due to not using the current tutorial download - this should be the first recommendation to other users experiencing difficulty.

I'm suddenly getting the oddest behaviour in VWM in my Win 7 OS. Very occasionally I go to send an email and up pops that dreaded box asking for user name and password which I fill in and off it goes. I did a search and most people seem to think it's a corrupted profile which I refuse to believe considering a) I only just set it all up a short while ago when I switched mail clients and b) my ISP has been having endless cable problems causing slowness and connectivity issues, which I tend to blame for this too.
It all works fine for ages, then boom up pops the box again.
Thoughts anyone?

Thanks. Those entries are all intact and correct on mine. It is strange but will try what you suggest, close and reopen WM and see if that works.
Most of the time it's fine so am not too worried.
Thanks again.

That's what I thought, thanks for all the help ;-)

I'm glad I'm not alone....! ;-)

I go by this for all my OS's: How to use Winmail on Windows 8.
