| | What WLM is designed for and who... Windows Live Mail was designed for the users of Hotmail (Windows Live Mail (Online version)). I still can be used for other non hotmail accounts but it can be a pain to sort it all out. If you are wanting to use a email account e.g. a POP3, IMAP, or another online email service you are better off using Outlook Express (XP) or Windows Mail (Vista). |

| | Re: What WLM is designed for and who... Just a FYI, Windows Mail in Vista is a dead product and Windows Live Mail has taken over. There are (supposedly) multiple improvements to WLM coming in Wave 3 which is due to RTW in a few months.

| | Re: What WLM is designed for and who... Since development ceased on OE and WM in 2006 it would be more appropriate(even though WM and OE continue to function)to say WLM was designed as a replacement for OE and WM and also provide the ability to access free Hotmail accounts. OE and OL03/07, unlike WM, continues to support Hotmail access for grandfathered and subscription based Hotmail accounts via the WebDAV server until the WebDAV server is retired(no sooner than Jan 2009). -- ...winston ms-mvp mail "John-Paul Dickie" <gingie_2k7@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:776864AC-E8AB-4535-8C67-2CBB1DF76D61@xxxxxx Quote: > Windows Live Mail was designed for the users of Hotmail (Windows Live Mail (Online version)).
