Overview

Windows Mail is the email client that comes standard with Microsoft Vista. This step-by-step setup is also applicable to Windows 7. This will allow you to receive all customer emails as well as DX1 email notifications of quotes, orders, finance applications, etc.

 NOTE: We highly recommend that you install anti-virus software on your computer, and have it setup to receive on-line updates. You do not want to send viruses to your customers, nor receive viruses from customer emails.
