[WT-support] Fw: WIN 7 Professional 64 Bit computer: AccessingWindows Live Mail for contest software and emails

[Dave Zeph]

Microsoft Love Mail is an APPLICATION.  It can be downloaded from:

 

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29224

 

 

Microsoft Outlook is also an application.  Using it does not require crating
or logging into a Microsoft Account

AccessingWindows Live Mail for contest software and emails

 

I recently purchased 2 WIN 7 Professional 64 Bit computers from New Egg.

I wanted to download the Win-test software on both and I realized that I
needed to set

up my email on both.  On my other WIN 7 computers I use Windows Live Mail.

 

When I did a search for "Mail" I saw the Windows Live Mail folder and
clicked

on it.  Instead of Windows Live Mail appearing, I instead saw an "OUTLOOK"

sign in page.  On my other Win 7 computers this does not occur - Windows
Live Mail

comes up, as it should.

 

I have no desire to create a Microsoft account much less to have to log in 

each time I want to access email.

 

Can any of the "gurus" on this reflector please tell me how I can access

Windows Live Mail and/or obtain and install it so that I can set up my email

and utilize it without Outlook or having to sign in?   

 

Also, there is no MS Excel on these computers.  Does anyone know where I can


obtain a reasonably priced copy (free is best of course) so that I can
access

other .xls or .xlsx files through my homegroup?  I need this for logging
since

I use an .xls file for my qso and other qso and qsl related information.

 

Thanks.

 

73 and Happy Holidays!
