How do I Check Mail on Windows Vista?
Vista's built-in Windows Mail client allows you to manage whatever email account you connect to it. If you're not checking your email via an HTML interface like Yahoo!'s or Gmail's, you can check mail in Windows by opening Windows Mail and using its Send/Receive tool -- or you can set it to check for messages automatically, at regular intervals, and let you know when an email arrives.
