    Setting up Express Acounts why cant I setup my hotmail account ??

    Http no longer supported by vista (utlima let down) I would assume when I
    buy a product 5 or 6 times in a row they are all backwards compatable and i
    can use the same product after buying the upgrade ?

    Seems like a reasonable assumption even though it didn't work this time.
    Windows Live Mail Desktop supports HTTP mail (http://ideas.live.com). It's
    still beta and has advertising, but some people like it.

    you can use Hot Pop (hot popper) a free program to read hotmail in vista.

    That is a very weak answer to why MS is removing features from their
    products. Live mail is just a windows explorer. You cannot save the emails
    locally (or none that I have found). MS is offering 2 GB, I have 500+ GB of
    storage. Very very dissapointing.

    It may be a weak answer but no one can answer for Microsoft except
    Microsoft. We can only surmise.

    Windows Live Mail Desktop is a desktop program for HTTP, POP3 and IMAP mail.
    It uses a better interface to HTTP than the old WebDav and runs on your
    desktop, not in Internet Explorer.

    Sorry you think it's a weak answer, but I didn't write the crap.
