Vista - Windows Live Mail questions

I read that Windows mail only remembers 29 entries for auto complete.
Is that to 29 different contacts or the last 29 sent mails?

Is Windows Live mail free for Vista users?

I access the internet and email from a national ISP on dial up. When
I go on to the internet, I click on the ISP's website which chooses
form several dial up numbers and connects. Once connected, I click on
the email button and then my mail is downloaded from their servers
into Windows mail. Due to doing a lot of traveling, I have not set up
any dial up accounts in windows mail and just let the ISP do it.

How will Windows Live mail integrate into this system?

Will there be a lot on configuring to do?

Will I need to use a new email address to use WLM?

Sorry about all the questions, thanks in advance.

Hi LB,

Windows Live Mail Beta 2 is free. It supports Pop3, IMAP, HTTP website (EX: Hotmail) email, and is a lot more stable. Plus, WLM will minimize to a tray bar icon and has a separate Inbox for each account. WLM will automatically import Windows Mail messages, accounts, and settings into it. Contacts will have to be manually imported from within WLM. (Tools, Contacts, File, Import, Address book for current Windows User.)
