but when i click on send, this message comes up and says: Windows Mail no longer supports the HTTP servers used by Hotmail and other web-based e-mail providers.

hotmail is the only email i use. what can i do to get my message through?

============================

Windows Mail which is Outlook Express' successor, no longer supports HTML email access. You cannot configure Windows Mail to use a Web-based (HTTP) e-mail account in Windows Vista

Windows Mail no longer supports the HTTP servers that are used by Hotmail and other Web-based e-mail providers such as AOL mail, Google mail, and Yahoo! mail.

============================

The following Microsoft Knowledge Base article is intended for a beginning to intermediate computer user and shows steps to resolve the problem

Use "Windows Live Mail Beta" instead of Windows Mail

Excerpts from that MSKB Article ID #926374:

Windows Live Mail Beta is an e-mail program that you install on your computer. Windows Live Mail Beta stores messages on your computer. This means that you can access, read, and compose e-mail messages even when you are not connected to the Internet."

Windows Live Mail Beta works with popular Web-based e-mail services such as Hotmail, AOL mail, Google mail, and Yahoo! mail. Windows Live Mail Beta is built to automatically configure many popular e-mail services.

============================

create another e-mail ie using yahoo or change servers

use the web(explorer or mozilla) when sending emails.. not the old school mail software that windows have..
