I hate Vista but I need a new laptop and it only comes with Vista! Webmail is
abother way of Microsoft forcing you to PAY for an email account to work with
Web Mail. I love my Outlook Express and now it won't work after XP. There are
a lot of bugs with Vista but I am not sure if I can format my hard drive and
load XP on the Vista machine. If not I am going Mac! Gates dropped a giant
turd on this "P" OS!

Wow thanks for the enlightenment.

I now see the light, oh wait I don't since you're obviously just here to
post junk.

You can use IMAP, HTTP, or POP3 mail settings to access Webmail.

What sort of protocol are you using that doesn't allow that type of import
using Windows Mail, which is Outlook Express, just with a new name?

Also why would you have to pay either way? There's also Windows Live Mail
Desktop if you need access to an MSN/Hotmail/Live Mail account. It's free
as well and can still handle IMAP, POP3, & HTTP mail accounts as well.

So please tell me where you got your obviously bad info and why you would
judge a product that you obviously have no experience with.

Of course you can wipe Vista off your laptop and stick XP.

In fact, it's so easy, a caveman with downs could do it! :-P

If you have some specific problem you need help with let us know.
If you just want to rant then go stand on your rooftop or talk to your
psyche.

If you go to the OEM site of your choice and order a business class laptop,
you should get the option to order with XP although I doubt you really want
a solution to your rant.

Wow, Vista sucks ASS. Is that with the 32 bit version or the 64 bit
version. Another question, how to you hook Vista up to your Ass? I'll be
you have it all figured out. Probably some special tubing hooked to a USB
port. Pretty cool if you ask me.

Are you sure you want to share this with the world?

Checkout an alternative ... http://system76.com/

And no, I don't have any connection with this outfit. But it does give one a
great alternative to Vista pre-loaded laptops.

Cheers.

Not true! Windows Mail is NOT Outlook Express! It no longer supports HTTP
mail. Get your facts straight before posting.
