{Story} Windows seven no longer offer free POP3 and SMTP email program, so Outlook Express or Window Mail (Vista) is now history. However, Windows 7 actually still offering Window Mail for those who are upgrading from Windows Vista, below is how to turn the function on. But ofcourse you have an option using their Live Mail or other free email software like Thunderbird. {/story}

I have both Windows 7 professional 32-bit at work and Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit installed at home.

Here is how you get the Window Mail back on Windows 7:

1. Make a copy from your MS Vista Windows Mail folder.
(To find out where it is, open your Windows Mail then go to toos–>options–>Advanced–>Maintenance–> Store Folder)
*P.S. If you don’t have Window Mail from Vista before.. too bad, but not exactly..
I found out you can use somebody Windows Vista Mail 32-bit or 64-bit files on your Windows 7.. how to get it? I suggest you can do a google search to see if someone brave enough to post it or go search if there is still people still using Vista and copy from them.

2. Then, go to Control Panel and Folder Options –> Check on Show Hidden files, folders and drives. (Since Windows 7 hide the WinMail.exe file)

2. Go to C:\Program Files\Windows Mail\en-US and right click on folder properties–>Security–>Advance then do the following to change the folder owner to Administrators, ofcourse you have to be administrator as well.

3. Then go back to the same folder and chose Administrators and allow “Full control”
(This will allow you to have permission to make change on the WinMail folder)

4. repleat steps 3&4 to grant permission inside Windows Mail folder “en-US” 

5. copy and past and overwite the Windows Vista Window Mail file to Windows 7 Windows Mail folder.

6. done!  

If you are using 64-bit windows, make sure you chose the Winodws Mail folder under the Programe Files, not the (x86), otherwise you will get a msoe.dll error.
