Here's a solution for all who want to use winmail and windows 8.

The procedure is almost the same as windows 7 , but we will need a dll file.

First , we do the same procedure as in windows 7 :

a) Take ownership of winmail forder ( if you use windows 8x64 , you need to take oweneship of program files/winmail and program files(x86)/winmail). Remember to check the " show system files " before that.

b) Delete all the files in winmail forder and replace them with the windows 7 / winmail files.

c) Copy msidcrl30.dll to c:/windows/system32 folder

d) Now , we have to register the above dll. Open cmd and type : regsvr32 "c:/windows/system32\msidcrl30.dll" and press enter.

Reboot , just in case , and you're done !!

It's not working. I typed it in several different ways and nothing. Are there any spaces skipped? Are the : at the start and the " to be used? How can I get this to work? I got one error - The filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect. Where do I go from here?

I think you don't read my post exactly:

endeavor said:

Whether you copy/paste the Windows Mail folder from 7 to 8

Click to expand...

I don't copy Windows Mail folder, but content of Windows 7 Mail folder.

endeavor said:

that point still is if it's showing you can't delete 8's folder

Click to expand...

I don't delete Windows 8 folder, but rename Windows 8 folder.

endeavor said:

which still means you can't delete/replace the files within it

Click to expand...

I don't delete/replace files, but copy files into a new created folder.

Read exact - where do you read "delete" or "replace" in the following ???

• Rename "Windows Mail" to "Windows Mail 8" (for not to need take ownership)
• Create new "Windows Mail" folder (so all registry references still being correct)
• Copy content of "Windows Mail" folder from Vista (or a working version from Windows 7) into new created "Windows Mail" folder
• Copy "msidcrl30.dll" into "Windows Mail" folder (from Windows 7 or the above attachment)
• Run "Windows Mail"
