How can you say that all your defaults are OK when Windows Mail
apparently does not have the MAILTO protocol default?
Were you able to find the MAILTO default assignment by going to
Default Programs, "Associate a file type or protocol..."
and scrolling down to the bottom of that screen where all the
protocol assignments are shown?
As others have already told you, you can't install OE in Vista.

Hi Frank,
I'm still trying to solve my problem. As an update - I can email I just
can't send an email from my simply accounting program. So does this mean
that there's a problem with my accounting program?
Anyway, I've tried to do what you suggested but I'm not sure how to save
what I'm copying. Do I have to save it in a particular program such as Word
or what? I apologize but I'm not a computer whiz so I need specifice step by
step instructions.
I did go to "Associate a file type of protocol with a program" and the
MailTo protocol isn't there but it is there under "set your default program"
then "choose defaults for this program" and the box is checked. Not sure if
this info is of any use to you or not.

I don't know anything about your accounting program, but if it wants a Full
MAPI mail program you're out of look unless you get something like Outlook.
Like Outlook Express, Windows Mail is just a Simple MAPI program.

I assume your MailTo protocol is still missing? (You did not
respond to my previous post.)
If so, try this:
Open Default Programs, click "Set program access and
computer defaults." Click Custom, and select Windows Mail.
Click OK.
Did this restore the MailTo protocol?

Hi Gary,
Sorry for my slow response but had to leave the office early. Just got your
post and I have done as you suggested and guess what I now have my "MailTo"
protocol. However, I am still having the same problem with my accounting
program and am unable to email from that program. I'm thinking there's a
problem between that program and Vista with regards to compatibility. Will
let you know what I find out. I do appreciate your help.

Now that you have the MailTo protocol back, did you make sure
it was assigned to Windows Mail?
Your hunch may well be correct in that your older accounting program
is just not compatible with Vista's way of doing things.

Post subject: MAPI comp issue with Windows Mail? Add to elertz [Login to view extended thread Info.] Archived from groups: per prev. post (more info?)
I have the same problem, and just want to check in with you guys before I go and get myself a full MAPI email program.
I've created a mail merge in Word 2007 (on a Vista computer, had to buy Microsoft Office, which I didn't realise didn't come with Outlook!) and now at the last stage, the email button or email command is greyed out.
After checking help is says I need a MAPI comp email program - am I right in assuming that the 'simple' MAPI compatible Windows Mail won't be up to the task? Or is there a setting I've missed?
I have made sure that MailTo points to Windows Mail.
