...When i try "sync now" to get my mail and news, the groups are shuffled...

In WM isn't it called "synchronize all"?

I guess. You know what i mean i hope :)
Didn't check when i was writing.

Poppa Bear's instructions start with downloading WinMailEdit.zip. but when I try to do that I'm told that I'm not authorized. ??????

Welcome jkdion.
Will it let you do it now that you are a member because it works good for me?

I also welcome you jkdion! I do agree with myz, give the download link another try and post back.

I'm still struggling with How to Reinstate Windows Mail on Windows 7
I performed the download of step 1 and ran it but in step 2 I put in the code and click "OK" and nothing happens. I don't get any program, folder or document opened. HELP.

My Mom couldn't open forwarded emails (.eml) 7 has no association since it doesn't "recognize" Winmail! I installed Tbird and assigned the .eml files to it

Hi jkdion, ditto warm welcome to Windows 7 Forum.

When you run Steps 1 & 2 of the tutorial you won't see anything happen. The purpose of Step 2 is to make permanently visible the hidden file WinMail.exe. You need to have this file visible for Part (B) of Step 4, so you can send it to the desktop as a shortcut.

Just keep going with the rest of the steps. And take care to read the various notes. Especially if you are running 64bit Windows 7.

Let us know you get on.

Cheers PB

Perhaps someone who still has the tutorial version of WM on Win 7 installed will try the "synchronize all" feature to see if it changes the listing order of newsgroups. I've tried it in Vista and with WLM in Win 7, where it works fine, but I no longer have WM set up on Win 7.

I dunno really, i like the looks of WM, WML is kinda ugly for me, all i needed is a simple mail & news reader like OE. Guess that's too much to hope. DIdnt have any luck finding where are the settings for WM and how are the newsgroups listed.

Hello Mark and poppa bear. You guys helped me out before in reinstating windows mail but now I can't seem to make it work. When I double click the windows mail icon nothing appears but I did notice that it was receiving mail. But now I double click the icon and it doesn't even receive mail. What can I do?
