Defective product, I want a refund.

Why will windows mail not allow Live signin ID's with paid MSN Live ID
accounts? This was standard for Outlook Express 6 the product shipping
bundled with IE6.
Now it is bungled with IE7.
Why not make Outlook Express available as a seperate download then still?
This is Vista Ultimate a defective product, there can be no other way to
look at it.
Defective. Non functional, no capability, no services rendered, kaput.
You havent delivered for the money paid.

Where have you been? The Vista/XP equivalent of
"Outlook Express as a separate download" has been available for
a long time. It is called Windows Live Mail, and will handle Hotmail
as well as POP/IMAP accounts. Get it here:

Re: Defective product, I want a refund.

I tried it, found it unwieldy, wasting space on my desktop with too much
nonsense.
OE was a useful and fairly compact tool. Live desktop is over complicated
and too full of garbage.

Re: Defective product, I want a refund.

Sounds like you tried an older version of Windows Live Mail.
It hasn't had "desktop" as part of its name since May 30th.

Re: Defective product, I want a refund.

I'll take a look but in all honesty, yahoo offers hassle free setup and
service with your low end Windows Mail program and the content is really
making Live look like crap.
