sky broadband & Vista

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

Log into your sky email account (provisioned by google) and enable pop
access. It will give you the instructions on how to setup outlook and
windows mail.

Those aren't email in the first place, just a mis-begotten re-rendering
of it.

Google mail needn't be web-based, AOL is Neanderthal, Yahoo! hasn't read
any RFCs - and who would want to use them and why?

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