| | Re: Can I install Outlook Express on Vista? The Vista replacement for Outlook Express is Windows Mail. It has the same feel as Outlook Express so you are not going to need to learn something new.

| | Re: Can I install Outlook Express on Vista? Thanks for the helpful responses. I have a desktop computer with XP, and I just bought a new Dell laptop with Vista. I would like to have *one* set of mail messages and contacts. I have several email accounts that I pop mail from. In the past, with a previous XP laptop, I would store all messages in one folder on my desktop and mirror the folder to my laptop, and point OE on my laptop to the mirrored location. Then when I used my laptop, I would have all messages and could simply mirror back all changes to the desktop. It was simple enough. Anyway, I discovered that Vista's Mail program works differently, and I'm sure, very well. However, it is not compatible with OE. Any advice or suggestions? How can I maintain a single set of mail and contacts? Some have suggested simply using a web site, but my message store is over 20,000 messages and > 1 Gig in size. One thought I had was possibly setting up a mail server from my home. Of course, that would take a lot of work, but maybe it would settle the issue once and for all.

| | Re: Can I install Outlook Express on Vista? I don't think it can be done successfully. The risk of corruption would be much greater when the message store is not local. Also, the account password store would be corrupted each time a different user accessed the store. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) "Owkmann" <owkmann.no.spam@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:ea0X5QWXIHA.4896@xxxxxx Quote: > Okay, so how does Windows Live Mail allow me to have *one* message store for my desktop and laptop? > > > > "Dave" <dave@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:eknOsgUXIHA.5880@xxxxxx Quote: >> How big is your hard drive? >> >> There's no limit, AFAIK. >> Messages are stored as individual .eml files. |
