Sky broadband on Vista prob

Hi
I joined sky broadband and can't get email through Outlook
I have just discovered that one can't 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.

Does anyone know of a patch\fix for outlook?

I'm running Vista & can't get sky's google mail to work with Mail
washer, Agent, Windows Mail or Outlook
Looks like I'm returning to XP

You are mixing up a lot of things here.

Why not? What happens when you try? Which mail account type are you trying
to use? Which version of Outlook are you talking about? Etc...
Contact Sky support for the server details you need to use to configure your
mail account.

How is this related to Outlook? Anyway, use Windows Live Mail for HTTP
support instead of Windows Mail.

I'm completely lost in your reasoning here.

Hi
I eventually got it sorted
I was running 'test account settings' in outlook before I had Logged
into my sky email account and enable pop access
Very simple when one knows how
