Define "the easy way"! There is so little difference between Windows Mail
and Outlook Express that WM might be called a clone. If you don't know how
to set it up, it's because you're too lazy to go looking for the necessary
knowledge. You come here all pissy and whiney and expect people to throw
answers at you, to questions you forgot to ask.
You mail service provider has all the info you require, call them. It is,
after all, as easy as setting up a newsreader. I guess someone else did
that for you.

You've never had an email address or used email before?
It helps if you let us know what email service you've used
previously, if any.

about all this but I must be some patient or some stupid to use this Windows
Mail. Denise

Which antivirus are you running?
Some of them are not very compatible with Windows Mail, and will
cause assorted problems from time to time.

You have to choose an email provider and have them set up the account first.
Many people choose their internet providers as their email providers also,
since most internet accounts include one or more email accounts.
The details of how you then set up your computer to connect to that
account depend on which email provider you choose. Either ask them for
instructions, or tell us which email provider you want to use and see if
anyone here knows where to find their instructions.
Unless you work for Microsoft, you aren't likely to get a usable email
address that ends in @microsoft.com. If you do, ask for help at work.

Although it's labelled as for mail stuck in the Outbox, it also works in
other folders.
Also, many problems in Windows Mail are caused by interference
from an antivirus program. What if any antivirus programs do you
have, and have you ever had a Norton or McAfee antivirus program
on that computer, even one of the trial versions that often come
already installed on new computers?

I always used Avast Antivirus and works very well, i tried that McFee but I
personally don't like it also Norton, I even have Norton disk etc. Not the
same as Avast. I personally don't believe the problem is with antivirus. a
