Hi all, I have windows 7 installed on my computer and managed to configure windows mail as the default email client using the tutorial here as provided by David: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14125880/Ryan%27s%20Windows%20Mail%20Tweak%20tutorial.zip So far so good! This might be useful for folks avoiding upgrade to 7 because of the email client issue. One difference to OE: when navigating in the folder view pane, for each folder that receives focus, if that contains any message, the focus switches automatically to the message list of the folder. Any suggestions on how to disable this feature or maybe tame it down for better utilization? Cheers Hamid
