Update KB890830 disables Windows Mail

[Speaking in silver]

This groups first troll?

Go back to Vista and your troll mates.

I'm using Windows Mail in Windows 7, and I'm trying to help people in my
same situation. So what's wrong about that? and How does that make me a
troll?

Please think twice before insulting me or other people without any reason,
because that's what trolls do. That said, I will not answer to any more
flames.

Nah, SiSilver isn't a troll, just a little agitated/annoyed

I use Windows Live Mail, it isn't perfect, but hey, what is.
When I installed Windows 7 and everything was in place. I clicked on the
Mail button on my keyboard and not a lot happened, then I found out I
needed to download/install Windows Live Mail.

It all works, not as easy to use as Outlook Express, but it's ok.
I can talk to people, they can talk to me, that's all I need

You didn't have to install the whole package. All you had to do was pick
the components you wanted, or uncheck the ones you didn't want. I didn't
install anything except the mail and news clients and left the rest in the
package.

Yes that is what I would have expected (and was led to believe).
But I examined every option offered and none of them included
the ability to download/install selective apps. :-(
Sometimes I wonder if MS got rid of all of their usability experts.

Did you get it here? http://download.live.com/
You can individually choose the components you want instead of downloading
the whole package.

Yes. That is where I got it. I don't know that is is available
anywhere else?

On that page, there is only one [Download] button.
There are no selection options for which program you want.
The only option is for language.

Yes. that's right. Download the file, and when you double-click on it, THEN
it gives you the options of what modules to install.

They are listed individually below the button.
