If your Email provider did not give you a setup disc you can setup a Windows Mail account manually as long as you have the settings available;

What you need to setup an account in Windows Mail:

1. You will need the Windows Mail program that comes free with Windows Vista
2. You will need to know your email address
3. Your password
4. Your incoming mail server
5. Your outgoing mail server
6. Sometimes you will need to know a port number to use. The default is 25, however some mail servers need to use 80.
