Windows Vista has Windows Mail, a much safer

Outlook Express is now Windows Vista Windows Mail. Despite a comparable basis, there are quite a few useful improvements made, which Windows Mail has become safer. The release of Vista is the mail changed. Not only has the name changed to Windows Mail instead of Outlook Express, it is clearly safer. Thus, the reliability in the management of large numbers of messages improved. There is also an excellent junk filter built the spam messages to a separate folder conducts, folder unwanted mails. Idem ditto goes for the built-phishing filter, the phishing e-mails are analyzed, identified and dumped in the junk mail folder. Finally you can in Windows Mail using quick search, which would, in many e-mail traffic is very convenient.

Startup
If your Windows Mail for the first time, a relatively simple wizard, you must pass. The wizard points automatically. This boot can not address based on Hotmail or Google Mail (Gmail) use. Later, you can still access your Gmail account in Windows Mail out (see also the end of this article).

If the initial configuration is complete, and the first standard mail from Microsoft, you can by Windows Mail generated pop mailbox name (eg pop.wanadoo.nl), update and make more personal. Do this via "extra">> "Accounts">> "properties".

The Windows Mail no longer get any messages to your inbox. First checks whether the mails are legitimate and not contain threats (phishing, spam, junk mail). If there is phishing, spam or junk mail, you get this message. Concerning mails go to the folder "Junk E-mail". Emptied regularly. It can not hurt to see if mails are not unduly weggemoffeld, but be careful, of course, on your guard. The security level you have to own any updating through "extra>> options for unwanted mail", "options" and choose "high" or "low".

How Gmail to win what is technical and I will not deal in detail. It is essential that your first online on your Gmail account to enable pop3 ( "settings">> "pop download">> "enable pop for all mail"). Then in Windows Mail a new account and enter the Gmail server (pop.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com). Finally, do not forget to "accounts">> "properties" have two things to do. First you need to the "servers" is still checked for the server authentication is required. Second, fill your two port numbers: 465 in the outgoing (SMTP) mail and 995 by the incoming (POP3) mail. Now "ok", "close" and ready.

Hotmail
Because finally the (ordinary) Hotmail pop3 not supported, it will get in Windows Mail is not possible. Windows Mail turns to speak the HTTP server to safety off.
