How DO I GET MY EMAIL BACK??

Windows 7 doesn't come with an E-mail program.

If you were using Microsoft Outlook on Windows Vista, install it.

If you were using Windows Mail, download and install Windows Live Mail .  Then, see Importing your e-mail messages, contacts, and calendar into Windows Live Mail .l

Windows 7 did *not* take your e-mail account away. You still have the

account, you just don't have an e-mail *program* you can use.

Windows 7 comes with *no* e-mail or newsgroup program. Although many people

object to this, I think it's a step in the right direction,

since it leaves everyone more free to choose whatever program(s) he likes

best. There are many choices available, both from Microsoft and

from third-parties. Some are free and some are for sale. Microsoft has

Windows Live Mail available for download for free and Outlook (a

different program from outlook express) available for sale, either alone or

as part of Microsoft Office.

Some people will tell you to use Windows Live Mail; others will tell you to

use Thunderbird; still others may have other recommendation. My advice is to

ignore all such recommendations. I personally use Microsoft Outlook for

e-mail and Forte Agent for newsgroups, but you should try several and choose

what *you* like best, rather than make your decision based on what I, or

anyone else, likes best.
