Live Mail does both email and newsgroups. Install the email program.

Now I'm really lost. I downloaded it (I thought it was email &
newsreader) turns out to be a browser + but where are my newsgroups? I
told it not to install email, was that a mistake? Are there instructions
anyplace?

Bob

Careful with that "Windows Live" terminology because it includes a
whole suite of programs. Yes, Windows Live Mail includes the news reader.

In going to that link and clicking Get Windows Live it takes me to a
page that asks what features to install and says nothing about
newsgroups. At first I thought that maybe that was just part of the
basic package but mail is something you are asked to check if you want
it. Does Live Mail still do newsgroups?

Hi, Michael:

Thanks for your latest impressions regarding WLM. Although I use
Thunderbird for both e-mail and newsgroups, and expect to continue
doing so since I'm perfectly happy with my own current setup, I would
nevertheless be interested in trying out WLM to see what I think of
it. Are there any complications involved in downloading and
installing WLM that I should be aware of? It doesn't, for instance,
automatically take over as the default e-mail client or newsreader,
does it?

Just one thing, for now, I sure do wish there was an easy

...winston

I agree with ...winston. Outlook 2k3 or any version of Outlook won't just go
quietly into the night. It will fight to retain control of your e-mail
functions. I have actually just installed WLM a few days ago in an attempt
to determine if it is the adequate successor of Outlook Express that it is
supposed to be. Having used OE for years, I am not to happy to have to give
it up due to lack of updates & support. The only good things I can say about
WLM is the Newsgroup functionality and support, Quickviews, and the fact
that it sure is pretty to look at compared to OE which I believe is still in
the old Royal typewriter Courier font! (No, not really.... I have to
apologize for employing hyperbole)

Actually, I like the old way of doing things. But (heavy sigh) it seems that
Microsoft keeps playing the product support game to the hilt and virus
purveyors continue to target their e-mail client software thus making it
necessary to keep abreast of security updates. Thus, I feel the need to keep
up with their changes in e-mail client platform.

possibly "Mail" or "E-mail".

I agree with "Show All Messages"/"Hide Read Messages."
Maybe, the development team will come around to add
this. I can't believe there's not some heavy newsgroup readers
on the development team that agree with us.

I do like like the "Quick Views". I have "Unread watched news"
there and find that feature to be useful.

I just couldn't stand the horribly slow performance
of Windows Mail, and it wasn't just on one machine.

Hopefully, WLM will continue to improve even more.


-Michael

I use WM for newsgroups, WLM for mail. I make extensive use of
WM's feature that enables rapid switching between "Show All Messages"
and "Hide Read Messages." It is a shame that WLM didn't adopt that
handy feature.

Gary VanderMolen [MS-MVP WLM]

IMO, compared to what it was and most definitely
when compared to WM, WLM has improved greatly.

Since I only use WLM for newsgroups, I may not be seeing
the same bugs you are experiencing. -Michael

it was not ready to go out of beta...

I have a second question regarding WLM. What do you think about the
following opinion of WLM quoted from another newsgroup?

"It's a trick to get you to use Microsoft's online services. Don't buy
into it. If you do, you're only furthering their goal of getting
everybody to use thin clients and to pay fees for online programs instead
of having them installed on your computer."

 

[Buford T. Justice]

My Outlook 2003 and WLM get along with each other fine. I might eventually
get rid of Outlook 2003 once WLM give us the option of storing POP3 e-mails
all in one place instead of mandatorily giving each account its own folder
tree.

Of course, but that requires mousing and three clicks to change state

It should be, if you have like more than 6 POP3 e-mail accounts all those

Agreed. I use Outlook for email, and like OE and WM,
it automatically puts all pop email in one folder. I use
Outlook Connector to get my Hotmail in Outlook and
I don't mind that being a separate folder. But, things can
sure get cluttered quickly when you start adding multiple
pop emails in WLM. A lot of people have at least 3 email
addresses. Gmail, Hotmail, and their ISP (many have multiples
from there)... I don't know why the development team insists on
changing things from the way it has always been done. It should
at least be an option to have one Inbox or separate folders.
They've already given many OE users a conniption by removing
"Identities" from WM and WLM.
