| Vista Business x86 | Windows Mail dictionary change Hi, Being a fairly new Vista user from XP Pro, I'm having difficulty trying to change the dictionary in Windows Mail to English (Australian) or (UK). I haven't found previous threads on this subject helpful as they are confusing. I would be grateful for assistance. Thank you. maggiewa |

I'll just have to battle with the English (US) dictionary, wishing I had never upgraded to Vista. Regards, maggiewa |

| Vista Business x86 | Re: Windows Mail dictionary change Thanks rive0108, but in reading the agreement before installing Windows live, I read that there are charges. It was confusing so perhaps I misunderstood the text. Now looking at Thunderbird which is far less confusing. Regards, maggiewa |

| Vista Ultimate x64 MAK, OpenSolaris 5, Gentoo 2008.1.... | Re: Windows Mail dictionary change Windows Live is not a pay for product - it is free. However, to be honest, I used Eudora for most of my life - then moved to Thunderbird when it went gold with the 1.0 release. I have never used another mail client in almost 15 years except at work, where Outlook was mandatory (I now find that I can use Thunderbird from my flash drive - yay!) |
