New PC, but HOW do I get my virgin mail!!
fullpint - 21/1/12 at 07:25 AM

Forked out nearly £800 on a All-in-one HP touch screen PC.
Ok its big and looks great and I was told (ref my virgin email) jusy pop in your virgin dic and away you go.......

PC in running windows 7 so therefore it does not have outlook on it.. At the mo I have to log onto the virgin media site to check my emails.. NOT HAPPY..

Before I go and rant and rave at the guy in Currys/PC World does anyone know how I can get my old outlook page back?
MSN and live mail is fine (use that for business) but not having virgin on outlook is a pain in the butt since some of my customers use my home email..

Looking forward to some help from those who have had the same issue

More software needed then!!! Poooooooooo..
My limit was £600 when I told the sales guy, so I walked out paying nearly 800 quid and he said my virgin mail would be fine!! So I now need office.. I can see a rant and rave coming.. If they want another £70+ quid off me I will want a good discount... As if Ive got any chance of that...
I'm not that good when it comes to searching for pc email programmes...

Outlook has been superseded by windows live mail. It's a free download from Microsoft, works just like outlook did! Connect it to your virgin account and away you go

I have windons live (my tpcs email is a lice.com) but cant work out how to get my virgin mail on it..
Simple if you know what you are doing I guess

I think if I was in your position I would probably try something like opening a google page and typing "virgin mail windows Live" and see what happens

I DO have (purchased with the pc) Office Home and Student 2010 that has word, excel, power point and one note but no outlook thingy...

What I would do is purchase this and sell your 'Office Home & Student 2010' on the bay of e........
