Windows Mail Thinks It's Outlook Express

[Rick Raisley]

With all the big deal about Outlook Express being gone, and Windows Mail
being its replacement in Vista, why does my Windows Mail say at the title
bar:

Inbox - Outlook Express

??

Originally, I did import my messages, etc. from OE from my WinXP machine,
but the latest WM install is rebuilt from scratch (finally fixing a two
month nightmare).

So, why is my Windows Mail suffering from an identity crisis? It's NOT
Outlook Express (wouldn't have wasted a total of about 40 hours, if it
were), so why is it CALLED that?

Or, if it's just my machine, how do I get it to fess-up, and call a spade a
spade?? ;-)

Mine says "Windows Mail", but I found one that's much better, more friendly,
more fun, and doesn't seem to hang up like WM so often does. Check out the
Beta of Windows Live Mail, I think you'll be impressed.

Thanks, but with all the problems I've had with Windows Mail, and with all
the warnings there are when downloading the /Beta/ of Windows Live Mail, I
don't think I'll chance it. At this time.

Suit yourself.
Of those who have tried WLM, most have agreed that it is more stable
and trouble-free than WM.
