Get back Windows Mail in Windows 7 SP1

Windows Mail was an integral part of Windows Vista but it is not present in Windows 7. In this tutorial, we will show unique and easy way to get Windows Mail back in Windows 7 with SP1.

We got problem with Windows Live Mail few days ago; so thought make the way easy to get back Windows Mail. We will use radically simple method to get Windows Mail back.

 

The method is valid for Windows 7 32 bit and 64 bit with SP1. Please do not redistribute the files. The password for the rar file is thecustomizewindows.com. Download the rar file by clicking here.

 

In  Windows 7  C:Program Files folder, there is indeed a Windows Mail folder that contains a msoe.dll file. Some one (of Microsoft) has changed that dll file to a non functional dll; so we need to replace that msoe.dll file first. You will get the 32 bit and 64 bit version of original Windows Vista. Use the proper version.

For 32 bit of Windows 7 (with SP1)

 

Copy the proper version of msoe.dll from our rar file after extracting it and paste to C:Program FilesWindows Mail; it will ask whether to replace the existing same named dll; accept it.

 

For 64 bit of Windows 7 (with SP1)

 

Copy the proper version of msoe.dll from our rar file after extracting it and paste to C:Program FilesWindows Mail; it will ask whether to replace the existing same named dll; accept it.

There is same named folder Windows Mail in Program Files (x86) that contains msoe.dll too. But that is a non functional folder; you do not need to do anything with that.

 

You need to change the ownership first,, it is a non-registered file in Windows Registry, so its owner is not you but Microsoft. Right click on the msoe.dll and click the Security tab then click  Advanced button:

 

Then, (read carefully) first click on the owner Tab in the window that pops up after clicking Advanced button. Establish yourself as owner by clicking Edit:

 

Click OK and then Go back to that dll file’s Properties window and tick all the fields to allow yourself:

 

Click OK. Understand the above step. People often write in round about way.

 

You can move to replace by dragging too:

 

 

It will ask you to replace just approve it. Done.

 

Some people love to scratch the ear with opposite hand moving the hand from back of the head. In one word in a round about way. You can replace any system files in this way like that using the same sided hand to scratch your opposite ear moving from front of your face. This is your choice though; your ears and hands, after all.
