Question for windows mail and Windows messenger

[grumpypolly]

Hello,
We have 2 questions.
1) Windows mail; Why window mail can't receive http email?
I am a hotmail VIP service user. The only reason I like about VIP function is I can check my hotmail via Outlook express. I tried to do the same thing at Windows Mail but I can't. Is it OK to use Outlook express 2003 on Vista system?

2) Messenger
is there any special messenger for Vista version? because i can't use Windows Live 8.10 on my Vista-Home basic. Do you have any suggestion?

Thank you!

It was removed. Doesn't matter if you're Bill Gate's brother or sister, it
was removed.

You can't use Outlook Express on Windows Vista.

Outlook 2003 you can but I don't know about the Outlook Connector for it.


Windows Lime Mail desktop will be handling the Hotmail (Windows Live
Hotmail).

I've had no problem with it on Vista. Even during the betas it was okay.

Trying uninstalling it, reboot and reinstall.
