Re: Email accounts

X-post to Vista.Mail newsgroup.

IE Tools > Internet Options > Programs > E-mail: If Hotmail or Windows Live
Mail is available here, select it as your default.

You cannot access your Hotmail account in Windows Mail. You can access your
Hotmail account in Windows Live Mail Desktop and make it your default Mail
Client in Vista.
