Setting up Sample Mail in Windows Mail

[MrDobbs]

Im looking for a way to setup sample Emails.

my Windows mail is not setup to send mail (online), it is there so people can play with it, for learning purposes.

I would like to set up smaple Emails, normaly I will send a message, wait till it errors out, and then drag it into the inbox, but the file stays as a draft.
I would like it to be a white envelope Icon, but again the mail doesn't go anywhere so...

I found that opening a draft and putting the mouse cursor over a hyperlink does not show the little hand (mouse cursor) but in the preview pan it does. thats the reasoning for having mail vs a draf so that the mouse cursor reacts the same in the preview pan as it does when double clicking on the mail item.

Is there a way to make sample Emails or a way to change/edit one that is already in the inbox?

Procedure for setting up E-mail account in Windows Mail.
Click the Start button and after that point to Windows Mail.
After that the simple email setup wizard should launch to assist you for further steps of creating the account.

1. Type in Your Name
2. Type in your e-mail address.
3. Email Servers
   
   • Incoming e-mail server is POP3
4. Internet Mail Logon
   
   • Email username- email address
   • Password – Type by your own
5. Setup is complete
   
   • Click Finish

Thanks for the post, but, I'm not looking for sample email accounts I have that covered. Im looking for sample emails with out needing to send them. I would like a way to create emails on an offline platform. it seems they stay as draft mail and hyper links dont work the same in drafts as they do in regular mail. please let me know if you have any ideas.

again thanks, and again HELP....
