Windows Live Mail.

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.

Anybody else using it?

Yes, you need to install the 2 addons from webmail and set it up in the addon options.

Yeah I'm using it and i was impressed too. Far superior than Outlook IMO.

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!
