Can you uninstall Windows Mail? If so, how?

[Panchalii]

Hey guys, am using Windows Vista. Earlier I was using Windows mail for my POP3 accounts. Now since a week I switched and migrated everything to Windows Live Mail. I haven’t run windows mail since a week but I can still see it running every time in Task manager.

Can you please tell me how can I uninstall Windows mail completely from my system? I tried to find out but dint got any option to remove it. Please help.

Sorry buddy, there is no way to uninstall Windows Mail as it is the inbuilt component of windows Vista. However why don’t you just kill the process when you see it running in task manager?

Now that seems to be a great problem for me because I have configured Outlook 2007 to handle .eml files but every time they open using Windows Mail itself. Though I use Windows Live, I configured to download message header and for syncing my Windows Mobile. If there is no way to remove Windows Mail, how I fix the problems?

Dude, outlook cannot read eml files because those are Windows Mail files. Anyways, though there is no way to uninstall Windows Mail, but there is a working way to disable it. It is equal to removing it, right? If yiou want o disable it, just follow the steps given in this discussion:
