  System File Checker (SFC) scan will replace the missing or corrupted system files on your computer.

• Set up Windows Mail for Vista

  My Question is: How can I get rid of the windows mail Vista Preview pane when I open the mail program? I don't want any e-mail automatically opens in the preview pane when I receive mail.  I went in the 'options' and in the reading tab disabled everything to solve the problem, but without success. I followed the info on aid as well and no luck. I used to use Outlook express on my old system with XP-Home edition and it was very easy to implement to remove the preview pane. I can tell windows mail is very similar to outlook express and I would enjoy the use of the program, if I can get rid of this darn preview pane screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated... Thank you in advance!

  It is not in the options, that it is in view.

• Should have 8 000 emails in my Inbox Windows Mail (Vista) considerably slow down my computer with 3 GB of RAM and trigger alerts from Norton of "the High CPU use by Windows Mail.

  In addition, about half of my 8,000 e-mails are unread. Thus, the fact of having 4 000 unread emails in my mailbox Windows (Vista) slow down my computer more than if they were 4 000 read emails?

  If so, is there a quick way to mark all read emails as read in Windows Mail (Vista)?      .. .in windows Live Mail (Vista)?

  Even if these unread e-mails degrade the speed, is there a quick way to mark all read emails as read in Windows Mail (Vista)?... .in windows Live Mail (Vista)?

  I also regularly get an alert Norton of 'Use of disc high by Microsoft Windows Search Indexer.'  Gravity is the next, and what can I do to fix the problem?

  Finally, I have a lot of folders: would have 2,000 emails in the Inbox Windows (Vista) slow down a computer more than if 2 000 mails were one or more files?   This change of response if the e-mail is unread vs bed?

  #2: the Inbox is accessible by your computer whenever he asks new messages. The fact of having 1,000 messages in the Inbox slow it down? I have no personal experience, since I never have more than a dozen or messages in my Inbox, but it is so likely. If you have lots of free space on the hard disk, the messages would be better in another folder (s). Even if you create more WinMail's local folders and move messages to them.

  I would also say this. Try to compact and repair the database.

• Can I set up Windows Mail to send messages and not receive?

  sending messages multiple pc while receiving on one PC

  I am trying to set up Windows Mail on Vista machine just to send messages and do not receive because I get all my email on another computer running Windows XP. Is it feasible with the same account name and service provider? How can I make sure that don't get emails on the machine Vista. Windows Mail requires both incoming and outgoing servers?

  When you set up your account send only, you should be able to disable the e-mail is.  Under the general tab of the account properties, you will find a box "Include this account when receiving mail or synchronizing".  Uncheck this option.  You can include any string of fake server, you want the name of the incoming server.  The account will never check incoming mail, but you can use it to send mail.

• Windows Mail (Vista) - duplicate emails - but the settings look right

  Hello

  I use Windows Mail Vista and more than 20 accounts are set up for a variety of areas. One of my areas has 3 addresses - everything I have Setup email in Windows Mail. All these 3 E-mail addresses share the same incoming and outgoing mail server and are administered using cPanel on a shared hosting environment. For the first two email addresses that I have set up for this area very well work (with "include this account when checking mail or synchronizing" ticked), however, when the third e-mail address has the checkbox "Include this account when checking mail or synchronizing" checked as I get a copy of my email inbox. If I uncheck the box I receive a copy (which is what I would like to receive). However, I'm afraid, to leave it off because it is a very important address and I fear he will cease to broadcast my posts if the checkbox is not clicked. When checking e-mail via cPanel account I shows that only one (not two) of the emails I get. I deleted the account in Windows Mail, then rebuilt - still the same problem occurs. I do not understand why it is product - any ideas as to why it occurs?
  Thank you!

  We see this behavior if you have two copies of the same account.  Check tools | Accounts and make sure that you have not listed twice inadvertently.  It could also be due to a problem in the database (where the tallies are stored), so try to compact and repair the database and see if that fixes the problem (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).

• I use Windows Mail (Vista OS) on my home PC. Can I access my account from another PC?

  Original title: Windows Mail

  I use Windows Mail (Vista OS) on my home PC. Can I access my account from another PC?  If so, how do

  You will need to create an account on the other PC the same as the one you have now.
   
  On both machines:
   
  Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Check: leave a copy of messages on the server.
   
  On a single computer only, make sure to delete messages after X days to satisfy your allocated space that you get from your server.
   
  If it doesn't is that for a brief period of trip example, you might be better parcel just connect to the Webmail of your server site.

  Cox blocks the message. It doesn't matter what e-mail client, you use. They are at fault! Call back them and insist on speaking to a Tier 2 Tech. One told you don't knows not of what he speaks.

• How do I set up Windows mail to work with an iphone5 in mode 'hot spot' as the internet connection.

  My internet is now via an iphone5 used as a hot spot.  How can I set up Vista "windows mail" to use with this? I've always used Windows mail when I had a high traditional rural snail speed dial and would still do that?  Thanks for any help you can offer!

  The hotspot just iPhone connects you to the Internet, the e-mail application does not really know the difference (as much as he knows, he might as well be a Starbucks WiFi at the coffee shop).

  It seems that you are properly connected to the hotspot, but that your e-mail program is not configured to download emails to iCloud.  Your hotspot is actually not related to that.  The mail app will download mail, regardless of how you connect to the web.

  To set up your e-mail to iCloud program, you'll want to go to the account options in the e-mail software and add your iCloud account.

  See: How to add or remove a Windows mail account

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/add-or-remove-a-Windows-mail-account

  While you are on this page, do not forget knowledge more under the "Add account, end to end", which includes images and examples to help you set up the account.

  After that, you should start getting your email into the Windows Mail program.

• Y at - it a setting of Windows Mail to keep copy incoming e-mails on ISP server?

  The use of Windows Mail in Vista Home Premium, how can I set a preference to leave a copy of each message entering on my server of the ISP? Currently, if I download email in Windows Mail, I can no longer access my ISP via iPad or iPhone. If I have not consulted the email through Windows Mail, I can easily see it from the iPad/iPhone, and then later can access via Windows Mail. But not the other way around. I looked for a setting on the web site of my ISP (cox.net) and talking to their tech support, but there seems to be nothing on their end to fix. I looked in the menus of Windows Mail and cannot find anything there either.

  Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Check: leave a copy of messages on the server.
