Title: Windows Live Mail.
Post by: Inactive on Jun 02, 2008, 12:30:50
OK, after I received an e mail from Microsoft stating the Outlook Express would no longer support Hotmail addresses after the end of this month..( very strange ).

I downloaded Windows Live Mail, I have to say that I am quite impressed with it, it transferred my existing Outlook Express accounts and Address Book over automatically. :thumb:

Anybody else using it?

Yes, you need to install the 2 addons from webmail (http://webmail.mozdev.org/index.html) and set it up in the addon options.

Interesting to hear. I don't use Hotmail/WL myself, but I did wonder what the app was like.

Windows Live Mail is a bit like a tarted up version of OE, but more user friendly in my opinion. ;)

Not for me, if I feel the need to use hotmail which is very rare, I use the web interface, which is not bad.

I installed WLM for my girlfriend at the weekend (mainly because it's better than OE). I must say I'm quite impressed!
