Windows Mail or Outlook Express
Is is possible to change the Outlook Express instead of Windows Mail email client in Vista? I just got a new computer with Vista, but many prefer Outlook Express with the big buttons.
Not possible, Outlook Express does not work on Vista. You should consider upgrading to Windows Live Mail, which has more features:

Cannot open JPG attachments in Windows mail and outlook express
Original title: I am running XP and windows 7. On topic dec 15 times windows '7' mail and outlook 'XP' Explorer both started allowing not parts attached JPG to come or let them out. Any help please? Dewey
Whenever I get messages with windows mail or outlook express, all attachments of JPG will not come through. I can change the security setting to allow dangerous files and they will come through. I don't know what happened to two computers at the same time. I had not changed all the parameter before it began.
Deweyh
OE can not block the attachments to be sent. You set antivirus software to analyze mail? See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3
You get an error message?

Transfer of stuff email from windows mail to outlook express
Is there a way to get windows mail to export the email info IE PST file, so I can forward the e-mail to another computer running XP with outlook express
Windows Mail or Outlook Express uses pst files. Only use MS Outlook. A simple way to do what you want it to.
Create a folder on the Vista desktop. Drag a WinMail folder messages in this folder. Copy it to the desktop of the XP machine and drag messages from the desktop folder to a folder in OE. Make as many records as needed. Bruce Hagen MS - MVP [Mail]

How to make a template for windows mail as outlook express?
Hi, when you use outlook express we had models that we could use to send emails. Unfortunately, we don't seem to have this option with windows live mail. We would really like to have this option because it looks good, when sending emails. Can someone please help us refocus on windows live mail. Thanks much :(
Outlook Express is not a model option. Perhaps mean you MS Outlook?If you want an e-mail with a standard text and may be recipients, create it in WLMail. When you are finished, click on the Menu button. Save as file and save it as a desktop .eml file. If you wish, you can drag the icon in the taskbar for easy access.When you want to use this template, simply click on the envelope icon that was created and WLMail will open with your saved information. Add the extras and then send it. -

Outlook Express problems
I can't send or receive e-mails via Outlook Express.
I can access through my ISP webmail.
In short and in laymans terms (I'm not a tech wiz) the automatic link between my ISP and Outlook Express does not work.
I also lost all my emails in the Inbox.
I run a Windows XP Home Edition.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Search for interference antivirus (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3). Then go to file | Identities and establish a new identity. Add your email account and see if it works very well. If so, you can go to file | Import | Messages to bring them from the old identity.
Then, if you lost messages, check the trash and the message of the old identity store bak files that are backups of dbx files that you can retrieve (see point 2 on the page above). If there is no bak file, then my DBXpress program (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/) has an excerpt from disc feature that will analyze the entire hard drive for messages and if they are still there, it will recover them.
