Anyone use it - I used it on vista and loved it.

Set up windows 7 computer today and totally stumped with the email set up :(

I use it on Vista and it is excellent as I can check my internode and hotmail emails at the same time, not sure why it would be different on 7. What error messages/problems have you run in to?

It is a bit odd but if you see a button which says 'Sync' then that will do the job.

ahhhh bingo - Thankyou O:)

Now - next thing...

You know how it says to, from, etc, etc - that flashes up for a millisecond but won't stay there.

I hate new computers :?

well it would seem that if you have no messages it doesn't stay there...

so maybe that's just how that is...lol

Yep if you don't have a new email then it only pops up for 2 seconds or so, everything seems to be working fine.

Thankyou RM O:)

Everything seems fine.
I just have to get used to it I think.

There's a feature there I like already - you can save your emails straight to your computer!
Which is great for my work stuff.

Had trouble connecting to the internet originally, after about an hour got that going....Now to load office 2007 - load my work files on - customise settings - and cross fingers...lol.

The only thing I'm really hating at the moment is the key board !!
But I suppose I'll get used to that as well.

Thanks again for your help O:)
