Webmail

I find the fact that Windows Mail cannot be used to access my Hotmail
account to be very disappointing, Microsoft is forcing me to use a different
email client.

As a long time MS supporter I do not understand their attitude.

Re: Webmail

MS understands your pain and has offered you a free copy
of Windows Live Mail, which will access your Hotmail.
To upgrade to Windows Live Mail:

Re: Webmail

They want to work less and make more money and screw the user.

Seems like they are quite successful in all 3.

Re: Webmail

Windows Mail apparently was an interim email program, released with Vista.
It has been replaced by MS with Windows Live Mail, which can access your
free Hotmail account.

Re: Webmail

Okay, thanks, I understood that Live Mail was simply a prettied up Hotmail
and was exclusively
a Webmail system.

Does it install on my hard drive and can it be used as Windows Mail can?

thanks

Re: Webmail

Microsoft has never screwed me or anyone else that I know of, my post was
not a complaint about Microsoft,
just a comment on their policy in one area.

So go back to your vitriol generating Linux box and let others give genuine
suggestions.

Re: Webmail

Yes & yes.
Windows Live Mail does pretty much everything that Windows Mail does.
It is not webmail.
