Thank you. But the instrruction to do that dont bear any relation to
reality. The Help in Outlook says:
In Microsoft Windows, click the Start button, and then click Control
Panel.
Do one of the following:
Windows Vista Click User Accounts, and then click Mail.
Note In Classic view, double-click Mail.
In neither the Vista view nor the CLassic view does the Mail option
appear.
If it had I would have done that by now.
I think you are either reading Help incorrectly, or it's wrong. Click on
Start-Control Panel. Change to Classic view (if you are not in it already)
and the Mail applet is on that screen, NOT within User accounts.
