Pastel and windows 7

[LazyLion]

After having issues with Windows Mail on Windows Vista whereby it doesn't open attachments from the from the mail message without first opening the message.
Installing Windows Live Mail 2011 worked well for this as I couldn't find a solution for the Windows Mail issue.

After experiencing the same problem with Windows Live Mail 2011 with Pastel Partner - and no solution on the web, I called the support staff at Pastel.
According to them; they only support Microsoft Outlook and Windows Mail. They do NOT support Thunderbird / Windows Live Mail.

After tinkering a bit, we noticed that some of the suppliers purchase orders sent from Pastel was some going through and the rest bouncing. So we then found out that they supplier PO that did go through was added to the Contacts of Windows Live Mail of the user. When exporting the supplier details from Pastel to a text file -> importing to a csv -> cleaning up the unneeded data and importing all suppliers email address into Windows Live Mail, the PO started being mailed out.

Hope this helps someone else as well.

Thanks for coming back and posting this!

You must go to windows live essentials page and select it from there.

Because of all the noobs who say microsoft including a mail and browser program is wrong we are forced to mission now.

http://download.live.com/ select mail.

I disagree, it's because the noobs at softline have no idea how to write a proper program and their email integration is utter fail. Honestly quickbooks kicks pastel in the balls. The only thing softline are better at is marketing.

I once made the mistake of trying to customize a template in their report writer. OMG what a mess. With pastel support on the phone I ended up having to completely re-install Partner 10 to get the thing to print on one page again. Talk about larf... Not.

No management packages either if you do not have office (excel and outlook are used by pastel) but if you don't use management packs that will make no difference.
