To Set Up Your Stationery in Windows Live Mail 2009. (You will do these steps only once.)

Step 1. Install Windows Live Mail 2009 on Your PC

3. Once the file is fully downloaded (135 MB) select "Open" or "Run"
4. Accept the license agreement
5. On the next page UNcheck all the boxes except "Mail" (This will install *only* the Mail program which requires just 53MB of disk space.)

7. Click the "Don't enable" button for the Windows Live Sign-in Helper (unless you want it).
8. Follow the instructions provided by your email host to set up the incoming and outgoing mail servers (server names, ports, password, etc.)

*PLEASE NOTE: We downloaded and screened this file for viruses on 2/8/2018. At that time it was clean and we installed the Windows Live Mail program and it functioned as described. For your safety, we recommend that when you download the installation file you should right-click it and have your anti-virus program scan it to ensure that it is safe. We tested this procedure as described on 2/8/2018 and it worked properly, but we cannot accept responsibility for changes that may have been made to the installation file since that time.

Step 2. Install Your Stationery on Your PC

Click on the installation link that we provided to you in the email message with installation instructions. (This link is unique to each customer so we cannot provide it here.)

1. On our website, click the green button to accept our license agreement.
2. On the next page, follow the instructions to install your stationery on your PC.
3. At the end of this short process you will see a message that says, "Thank you for installing Digital Stationery®."

Our installation routine stores copies of your stationery templates in a new folder in your "Documents" area called "My Digital Stationery." You will not have to do steps #1 and #2 again; they were a one-time set-up requirement.
