dear computer comrade: Jose, maybe when you have time, after all the dust has settled and this problem is behind you, I would absolutely love to know what the heck Windows Mail is anyway? I love outlook Express, it is the simplest thing I have had to learn, but I did not have to set it up initially, this was done when my computer was delivered.
