Thanks Ron You get your Comcast mail from the Comcast mail servers. It's up to you whether you read it online at Comcast's website or download the mail into an email client like Windows Mail. If you want to use Windows Mail with your Comcast email, go to Comcast's website and there are instructions how to set up Outlook Express for their servers. Follow those instructions. I don't believe you can use Windows Mail with Yahoo mail without a third-party program. Google for "get Yahoo mail in Outlook Express".

Other than the fact that you told us it doesn't work, you have told us
NOTHING to enable us to assist you. How does it not work? Any error messages? Do you know how to setup your email account in Windows Mail? Have you called your ISP for assistance? What did they say? -- Regards, Richard Urban MVP Microsoft Windows Shell/User "Ron Brooks" wrote in message ... I bought this computer less than a week ago. I can get mail through Comcast and Yahoo.

You need to set up your Comcast mail account in Windows Mail. Try Tools |
Accounts | Add | Mail and then specify the parameters such as server names and username and password. If you have questions on how to do this, then check the comcast website and check for the instructions for OE, which will be the same for WinMail. steve "Ron Brooks" wrote in message ...
