Migration from XP Outlook Express to Vista Windows Mail

I've just chenged the op. system from Windows XP to Vista Enterprise.
I can't create the same environment in Windows Mail what I used in OE6.
1. I can't add Address book as part of the screen (lower left corner). It is
always in a separate window (application).
2. I can't save ONLY my usernames and let me type password every time when I
start WM. I have to type either both or they are saved together.
3. When I block a user OE6 offered to delete all the e-mails sent by this
user. This function is not available in WM (or it is really hidden
somewhere). If I get ot of spam from the same user I have to delete them
manually.

All kinds of help is appreciated.

Re: Migration from XP Outlook Express to Vista Windows Mail

All three of those issues you mentioned are limitations in Windows Mail.
There are no suitable workarounds for those issues.
You just have to get used to a different way of working.
