Setup Hotmail in Windows Mail

Is it possible to do this, i can only see that it supports POP3 and IMAP

Currently not supported. If your account was grand fathered and you can
access Hotmail in Outlook Express, try backing up the .iaf file and import
into Windows Mail and see if that works, no guarantee.

Very true - there's also Windows Live Mail Desktop which should be a nice
addition to the Windows Live family, enabling Windows Live Mail to be run in
a seperate application on your desktop like Outlook.

I read something about that Live Mail app not being ready by the time Vista
ships. I can't imagine that Microsoft would let this out the door with no
support for Hotmail..... Or maybe they'll add Hotmail support back into
Windows Mail, as is it now in Outlook Express?

Hotmail (old) or Windows Live Mail (new) support isn't going back into
Outlook Express, and so I'm told, not Windows Mail either. I think that the
whole Windows Live Mail Desktop will be the new client for WLMail, but not
100% sure )

WLMDb will support Windows Live Mail, IMAP and POP3.

Thanks ) I just don't see the point overall, they may as well put Windows
Live Mail Desktop in Windows Mail, or just have no Windows Mail and replace
it with the WLMD!

WLMDb is ad supported.

Windows Mail is not. The OE MVPs asked that either they fix Hotmail or
remove it (me me me). When there became a problem with WebDAV and spammers,
it was easy to remove rather than try to fix it. WinMail won't be updated
like WLMDb will (shades of OE).

Since it is ad supported, it will bring in revenue for added features which
will be something that can happen sooner than later (i.e wait till the next
big update that we've become used to seeing).

Since it's part the of Live project, as new things become popular, they'll
be adding them unlike what we've seen in the past with Outlook Express or
will see with Windows Mail. Seems like I'm repeating myself here in
comparison of the products.

As new features are added, the user will have to download the newer package
(complete) and not a patch or upgrade which I think makes it a bit better in
the overall run of the product. One wouldn't have this or that patch and not
that one and such.

Since it will have revenyue to back it up, it means there will be a team on
it all the time just sitting back and adding goodies. If you look at the
list on the blog (http://spaces.msn.com/MoreThanMail/ you'll see a
comparison list. There will still be a lot of features from Outlook Express
that are still there (NNTP for instance, mesage rules, etc) along with a
host of new items and the nice thing is, those new things can grow.

So we've still got some things from the past OE along with an updated
database similar to but not like Windows Mail (since this can be run on XP,
there will be Vista items that won't be in there), along with some things
not in either one.

I think this will, reguardless of ads, still be a hellacious mail client.

Cheers, Roman

It just proves how much MS *loves* repeating themselves, reinventing the
wheel, and redundanting their own products to clutter *your* life...

If things are going like this, I'd pick a Vista *without* Windows Mail. But
I support your idea. I really rather have Windows Mail instead of Live Mail
Desktop.
