Vista - Windows 7 email program?

10-11-2009

I, too, dislike WLM which I am using installed for mail and newsgroups only.
However I would put up with it were it not for the fact that it
intermittently freezes my PC so that Ctrl+Alt+Del doesn't work leaving me
with no option than to reach for the reset button. I am hoping that when I
clean install Win 7 later this month WLM will work impeccably. Googling for
["Windows Live Mail" crash] produces 262,000 hits which suggests it is
seriously unreliable.

The registry can be intimidating, mainly because Microsoft uses confusing
terminology about it that is misleading. It is easy to understand of course,
but Microsoft does not make it easy.

I do understand that sometimes after spending many hours trying to learn
many other things, our minds just don't want to do it.

Windows Live Mail has behaved impeccably for me, but only
after I quit using it for newsgroups. I was getting hangs when
switching frequently between the mail and newsgroup functions.
I still use Windows Mail for newsgroups, and that function continues
to work well under Windows 7.

I'm in the same boat as regards WM. I've tried my hardest to like WLM but no, it's a total pain.

Thunderbird works fine and, providing you download the ImportExport addon from the Mozilla website, it will import all your emails from WM without any trouble.

I'm still going to stay with WM for as long as I can find hacks for running it on W7.

That suggests that if and when I download WLM it will not
automatically delete, or even render inoperative, WM. It
that correct? If so that sounds like good news to me, since
I could try WLM and if I don't like it I could then easily
revert to WM. Any comments, recommendations, or suggested
sources of info about how a novice might manage this
simultaneous use of both WM and WLM?

Many thanks.

Me too, beaupark! So there is a conversion tool that will convert all of my
folders? I thought I'd have to import one folder at a time.
Thanks,
Paul

Both mail programs will coexist very nicely. In fact,
I've been running both programs simultaneously since
February 2007, initially on Vista, now on Windows 7.
You don't need to do anything special. If you want all
incoming emails to go to both programs, configure WM to
leave a copy on the server (which is the default setting in WLM).

Paul H. If you visit the Mozilla Thunderbird page there will be a link to the addon called ImportExport. Download it to your desktop, or wherever, run Thunderbird and select Tools - Addons. Get it to install it. Then just import your saved emails.

Trust me, it's easier than it sounds.

Like Gary Vandermolen, I'm running both quite happily. If one falls over, use the other

Has anyone used Thunderbird with Win 7?

10-12-2009

I've heard from several people who do so successfully.

In fact, I've been running both programs simultaneously since February 2007, initially on Vista, now on Windows 7. You don't need to do anything special. If you want all incoming emails to go to both programs, configure WM to leave a copy on the server (which is the default setting in WLM). -- Gary VanderMolen, Microsoft MVP (Mail) http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/def...le/vandermolen "CWLee" <cdubyalee@newsgroup> wrote in message news:%23mMKAasSKHA.4028@newsgroup Quote: > > "Gary VanderMolen" <gary@newsgroup> wrote: > > "Windows Live Mail has behaved impeccably for me, but only > after I quit using it for newsgroups. ...

If you visit the Mozilla Thunderbird page there will be a link to the addon called ImportExport. Download it to your desktop, or wherever, run Thunderbird and select Tools - Addons. Get it to install it. Then just import your saved emails. Trust me, it's easier than it sounds. Like Gary Vandermolen, I'm running both quite happily. If one falls over, use the other
