Click Control Panel. You should see this option on the right side of the Start window. If you don't see Control Panel here on Windows 7 or Windows Vista, type control panel into the search bar at the bottom of the Start window, then click the Control Panel result.
Click Uninstall a program. This link is below the Programs icon, which resembles a CD in front of a box in the main Control Panel window. On Windows Vista, you may instead have to double-click the Programs and Features icon here. On Windows XP, you'll instead double-click Add or Remove Programs.
Locate the "Windows Live Essentials" program. It will be located in the list of programs in the middle of this window. To load the programs in this menu in alphabetical order, you can click Name directly above the top program's name.
Click Windows Live Essentials. Doing so will select it.
Click Uninstall/Change. This button is above the list of programs. Clicking it will invoke a pop-up window. On Windows XP, this option is simply titled Uninstall.
Click Remove one or more Windows Live programs. It's the top option in the pop-up window.
Click the "Mail" checkbox. This box is to the left of the Mail icon, which resembles an envelope. You can also check any other items you wish to uninstall if need be.
Click Uninstall. It's at the bottom of the window. Doing so will begin removing the Windows Live Mail program from your computer. The process should only take a few moments. On Windows Vista, you may first have to approve this action by clicking OK.
