Why in the world are you posting about this in a WinXP newsgroup?

 

Forward to Vista Mail newsgroup via crosspost.

Re: default mail not working

 

When you were in Default Programs, did you make sure that, in addition to

being the default program, Windows Mail has all its defaults?

Mish, Windows Mail can be the default email client, yet not have all

applicable protocols assigned to it. To do so:

Open the Default Programs applet, which you can access either from

the Start menu or via the Control Panel, then click the first item:

"Set your default programs."

After a few seconds, a list of programs comes up. Click on "Windows

Mail". If it doesn't respond with "This program has all its defaults"

then fix it by clicking on the option indicated by the first green arrow.

See if this helps (under Vista, but not XP):
