?You are still confused. What exactly is the email account you are calling
"Outlook mail" that you 'think' you have added to Windows Live Mail?

Hi RC
Ya I make a mistake, calling them Accounts, my Boo Boo.
Now to answer your questions and erase any confusion you might have.
My provider is AT&T/Yahoo, so I have Yahoo mail too. I don't like Yahoo
mail
so that is why I have Outlook mail as my default mail, and I leave my mail
on
the server. Jusr like a back up for my mail in case I delete something I did
not
really want too.
Now I got the great idea to add Outlook mail to my WLM, it was easy to do, a
couple of clicks and it was done. It worked ok but after a few days I
decided
to
put them separate again. So I right clicked on my Outlook mail in WLM and
one
of
the options was to delete it, so I did, and everything went smooth so I
thought.
Next morning I fired it up and opened my mail in Outlook and after that I
opened
my WLM and low and behold there was all my Outlook mail plus what I normally
get
to mt WLM mail. So I thought I left something un-checked or did not check
something I should. I went into my WLM and looked what mail clients I had
and
all that was listed was my WLM client. No Outlook to be seen any where.
I have checked everywhere and trust me there is not anything that even looks
like a Outlook mail. I went into my allowed and my blocked e-mail addresses
in
WLM, and there was one entitled sbcglobal.net in my allowed e-mail, so I
thought that was what was allowing my Outlook mail in, so I removed it, and
thought this would fix it. But it did not. So I am stumped.
If you need any more info just ask.
Thanx....Gunny
