Delete the default e-mail server in Windows Mail

Hi, I just upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 Pro and I am very happy with it.

I worked for an Australian company who installed their email on my laptop, so I could send and receive emails using their server and my email address * address email is removed from the privacy *. I left the company and it has been "disabled", but it remains on my computer configured as far as I can tell that by default (e-mail server?) in Windows Mail. There is nothing else that keeps me using Windows Mail.

How can I get rid of him?

How to install Windows Mail or MSN or Gmail default?

Here is an article on how to implement a Windows Mail account http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Mail-setting-up-an-account-from-start-to-finish (note what is written for Vista - I don't know if it applies to Windows7).  Frankly, I would switch to Windows Live Mail, it's also free and a much better product - but it's your decision.

The simple answer is to add a new server (Tools / accounts / add) any ISP you choose (you must tell you the settings for the e-mail account they provide for you the ISP), configure it as they requested, verify that you can connect and send messages, and return to the accounnts section and the new account should be listed.  Either delete the old one (which is a new default by default) or right click on the accounts and there should be options to add or remove the default account.

If this does not help, please transfer your question in the Forums of Windows7 to: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windows7 where Windows7 experts will be happy to help you.

Good luck!

  • Setup Eudora as the default e-mail program

    Hello

    Operating system: Win7

    I have always (for the right reasons) sue Eudora as my main e-mail client.  Whenever I installed a Windows Update, Windows set Outlook as my client, but it has been noticed by Eudora which, early on, was told that he was no longer the default client.  I could easily change that by starting Eudora as an administrator and then clicking on the option to make it my default e-mail client.

    BUT from the windows of the last updated, it no longer works and Eudora told me that it was impossible to change the registry (even when starting as an administrator).

    I tried to restore Eudora as the default e-mail program by going to wut Start\Default program that eudora does not appear here and I can't change the (set on Outlook) to Eudora MAPI option because this option is greyed out...

    How can I restore Eudora as my default mail (mainly for the mailto protocol) client?

    I found myself a solution that may be useful to other people faced with the same or similar problems.

    1 each (major) Windows Update and for reasons known only to Microsoft, registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\mailto\shell\open\command key has been changed and gives the order to outlook... (even if it was for Eudora before the update).

    2 Eudora could not change this key (and restore the command again to Eudora.exe) even when run as administrator because this key is protected...  (I noticed that I couldn't change the key manually).

    3. However, when I gave permission to administrators to modify this key and restarted the computer, Eudora (run as root) could change the key which now reads: C:\PROGRA~2\Qualcomm\Eudora\Eudora.exe/m %1, which is what to do...

    So, problem solved, but why Microsoft protected this key during one if its last update remains a mystery.

    But for some reason, the problem came back today, and Mail does not allow me to grant other default e-mail applications. Someone at - it ideas as to why and how to fix it? Thank you...

    Have you try this:

  • Trying to create a shortcut using the "F1" key I deleted the default shortcuts and now Illustrator will not accept 'F1' when I try to type on the box.

    Why Illustrator does not accept the 'F1' key as a shortcut? I deleted the default keyboard to "clipping mask/do" command and now I can't use the "F1" key All other command options are used for other shortcuts. Should I delete the Illustrator preferences and start again? If so, how do I?

    What OS? If a Mac, go to System Preferences and check the box that says deal with F-keys regular keys (or something to that effect). This will trigger the F keys to be used in artificial intelligence.

  • Cannot set Outlook as the default e-mail application

    I use a version of the MacBook Air and OS X El Capitan 10.11.3. I want to configure Outlook as my default mail application and mail-> Preferences I changed to Outlook, but when I close the application email, the default application change again in Mail. In addition, do not get this option to set a default in the preferences in Outlook.

    Please help how to fix this problem.

    Thank you.

    Although the problem is not the same, please follow the instructions in this article to support to reset the launch Services database.

    Instead type the command as shown in the article, I suggest that you copy and paste the web page in the Terminal window. Make sure you only select the whole line before copying. One way to do that is to triple - click anywhere in the line.

    If you do not already have a current backup, back up all data before proceeding. You should perhaps log out or restart to see a change.

  • I want to disable the default e-mail account in outlook 2003 so I'm prompted to select an account before sending a message.

    I use outlook 2003 as my email on XP client. I have 7 settings of accounts (me, wife and children, junk etc.). WE are simply not enough disciplined to do not forget to change the account every time we want to send a mail so that I find myself sending stuff that my wife if I set the default to her and she sends me stuff if we put in place for me. Is there a way to eliminate the fault and get Outlook to ask which account use?

  • Delete the default user folder

    I recently bought a new laptop and give my old one to my son. I would like to change the user folder by default of my name to his, but am unable to do so. I created a new folder of the user with his name and copied all the default files and folders inside. The old folder of the user who was my original default folder is empty, but when I try to delete, the message window indicates that windows is 14.3 GB of content recycling and then did not finish remove it because it indicates also the folder is open and in-use. I'm afraid that my old (default) user folder and the new are linked somehow, and if I managed to remove an old, I can finish to remove all. Can someone help me complete the process correctly?

    Sorry, you're going to have about it the wrong way. The "Default" folder is a model that is used for all new accounts. Do not delete and and you should not change it unless you know exactly what you are doing. When you create a new account (for example, 'John') and log in under him for the first time then what follows is done automatically:

    1. A profile file c:\Users\John is created.
    2. The content of the default folder is copied to c:\Users\John.
    There is no need to make a copy. Let Windows do its job instead!
