Windows Live Mail DOES NOT work

I uninstalled Outlook express, to install WLM. I am unable to compsose
messages, and the entire program is so slow that it is basically unworkable.
I never had a problem with OE.....I have 640RAM, and 750processor, and plenty
of hard drive space. Everything is kept running squeaky clean. Please
advise!!

Re: Windows Live Mail DOES NOT work

You do not uninstall OE, you just install WLM, It needs OE to copy all your
info.

Re: Windows Live Mail DOES NOT work

Oh yes it does, brilliantly, it is the best email client I have worked with.

With the info you have provided it is difficult to advise but you have done
something wrong, start again.

cheers

Re: Windows Live Mail DOES NOT work

Your specs are a tad below the minimum recommended system requirements*, but that never stopped me from using WLMail effectively before I bought a new laptop.

Initially WLMail might be slow and cause high CPU usage as it imports and indexes your accounts and messages from Outlook Express, so give it some time to settle down.
