Use Windows Live Mail wich is intended for Win7 and you get a client that works fine. Why complicate things
I use to install Windows Live Mail but at the moment there is no email security software for it. Thanks anyway.
I am using windows mail out of vista as well,and I am satisfied with it as it is. No ''synchronise'' s**t, but buttons send and receive I cannot send attachments the way you described , it should have been possible to indicate Windows mail as email program under configscreen/Standard Programs, but I can't. I am sending atachments right from the program itself.
