I checked my mail and all my mail that was saved for years was gone except for one week. I hadn't changed any settings for years and now they are missing. Contacting them for support is impossible and they hide with out a phone number posted anywhere. When I finally got support through a blog they email you with rediculous standard causes and basically send you aimlessly in a circle of non answeres and so you are screwed and all your info is gone and they don nothing. DON'T USE THIS SERVICE YOU WILL BE VERY SORRY WHEN THIS HAPPENS TO YOU. Windows live mail is sooooo poor and very very unsafe.

I only got Windows 7 yesterday and I like it ok except for the new mail program and absence of Quick LaunchDon't like the way the contacts are displayed. Not nearly as easy to get them for a mass mailing. It's just not as user friendly as Windows Mail. Wish we had an option of keeping Windows Mail.Seems to me that every time Windows upgrades, they mess something up and makes it harder. Doesn't make sense to me. I'm not savvy enough on computers to make sensible suggestions so I guess I will eventually get used to it. I don't want to change my email address. I just don't want the hassle.

You try to save a 5.6K PDF and Live Mail LOCKS UP MAN! No one noticed that! It sincerely sucks horribly and whoever at microsoft (or affiliate) that wrote the piece of $H&& should be FIRED!!!!!! T-Bird works and that's all I want. ALSO... I noticed that a folder full of stuff I wanted to save got sucked away by Live Mail. It's just gone now. I had it since I installed the piece of $H** but it is just gone now. I HATE LIVE MAIL. No one even mentioned the COMPLETELY SUCKY way that attachments are handled!

This works much better than using local rules anyways as it allows you to change email clients, computers and still have all your mail organized. I personally don't use Hotmail so I can't comment on its ability to set rules directly on your server. I also suspect that having a Hotmail account setup in WLM makes it start up slower since it signs you in to your Hotmail account when starting up which takes a few more seconds (depending on your Internet connection). For me it loads almost instantly on Windows 7 Enterprise from MSDN.

With T-Bird I can click on it, and it opens right up with no problem and there is even a plug-in that allows you to minimize it to the tray so I know when I get messages. Or maybe that's just Windows Mail. Is there a difference? I'm not even sure. ;) Good Article. The only thing I hate about it is it’s soooo slow.
