    I don't see an icon for Windows Mail in the RC build 7100. If I look in the Program Files\Windows Mail\en-us folder, I see winmail.exe.mui. Anybody know how to install Windows Mail?

    Windows Mail and a few other programs (Movie Maker, Photo Gallery...) have been removed from the default installation of Windows 7. To install these programs, download the Windows Live Essentials pack from Microsoft.

    You can choose which programs you want to install. If you want, you can just install Mail.

    Thanks to both of you. That worked. Now I can get both my comcast mail and hotmail in one place.
