    I'd like to help but I don't seem to have windows mail on my install but I do have windows live mail which I installed aftwerwards with windows live messenger ?

    that exe is buried in "yourdrive*\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Mail\wlmail.exe"

    I think any search for WM will bring up windows media player ?

    what where you saying about I.E. ?

    Do you mean Windows Media Player, as Windows Mail does not work in this preview

    What error message do you get when you try to bring up IE?

    It seems that Windows Mail, and WinMail.exe is removed in W7, because they want you to use Windows Live
    Thunderbird works well!!!

    Yes, that's right, Windows Mail, is just disabled in the preview version

    I'm sure it will be back when 7 is released.

    It's still in the C:\Program Files\Windows Mail\winmail.exe, but double-clicking on it does nothing.

    No, I was wrong, look at post @11

    I'm using Thunderbird for email: it seems crazy to omit an email handler to try to force users into Windows Live!!!

    I got IE to work by re ticking "obtain IP address automatically-even tho it was ticked already

    or you could view it that microsoft are making some concessions to allow third parties a fair market ?

    Just download Open Office it's FREE and has a decent built in email client very similar to OUTLOOK.
    OpenOffice.org - The Free and Open Productivity Suite
    I HATE windows live

    Cheers

    Opera and Mozilla SeaMonkey both have e-mail clients built into their browsers. Either should work. I am using Opera 10 Alpha in W7b. Haven't tried SeaMonkey in W7b. Haven't tried the Opera 10 Alpha e-mail client either.

    I do use the SeaMonkey e-mail client in Windows XP as my only e-mail client (I also use web-mail access to my e-mail at my ISP when I am not in XP). If you are not familiar with SeaMonkey, it is basically Netscape 7.2 with some upgrades (mainly security related). Appearance and feature-wise you could not distinguish it from Netscape 7.2 with it's default skin.
