Hey Maffy,
If it helps...I'm with you...I liked the old O. E. product. This package
looks as if they used an intern to write it. Let's talk about RULES, just
RULES no other problems just RULES. I used O. E. Message RULES extensively
to AUTO-SORT my mail. Unless I'm missing something LIVE MAIL doesn't appear
to be sorting properly. Not only that I had to re-configure every
sub-folder manually, no drag and drop! This appears we have gone back to
Windows 386, it is not a very elegant program, it is sparse, works poorly
and doesn't seem to have legacy features one would expect to have included
in a new package. I am now looking for a new email frontend. If you find
one let us know. Windows LIVE leaves me with a brain-dead feeling!
