Open Address book. Under 'Card' select 'clear custom image' . You can also go to the Address Book and delete your own card, but some say you need while some say you don't.

I don't use MacMail at all and never have had to.

You may need MS Office and it can be purchased for $99 almost everywhere even apple.ca website.

Welcome to the Mac World

I had to use my old Sony notebook yesterday for another requirement. It reminded me how far ahead Mac is when it comes to doing things very well.

In some cases mail automatically adorns your messages with the picture that you’ve set as your user-account picture. So try to change your account picture (System Preferences > Accounts > username > Picture), and Address Book should start using the new picture on your personal card, as will Mail on your messages.

If it fails, try this
To remove the picture rather than change it, open Address Book and select YOUR personal card, then from the menubar select Card > Clear Custom Image. Now the system will use Apple’s generic user picture in the login window and System Preferences’ Accounts pane. Mail and Address Book will remain blank until you designate a new picture in Address Book or System Preferences > Accounts.

Good luck
