Windows Mail (not Microsoft Mail) can't download a single message
unless you first set up a mail account in it.
You need to figure out what you are doing that is causing
Windows Mail to run. You can also set it to "not available":
Open the Default Programs applet, then click on "Set program
access and computer defaults." Expand the Custom selection, and
remove the checkmark for "Enable access to this program" opposite
Windows Mail. Then click the radio button in front of Microsoft Outlook.
Click OK.

Exactly WHAT did Microsoft PUT on my computer recently to cause these POP UPS
upon start-up. I've had this VISTA beast for two years now. I DO NOT USE
"Microsoft Mail". I do use Outlook. So, when I DID follow the instructions
to "compact myself" to get rid of the warnings...MS Mail of course started
downloading two years worth of mail from my mail server for crying out loud.
While it was doing that, I set it to "compact myself", and yet the box still
comes up. Exactly WHAT update did this of recent? I will UNDO that update.
