free email and windows mail

[dwolf]

I really want one program to access my regular email , my newsgroups and my
free email (hotmail).
Outlook Express does a great job of it.. But if I'm going to just use
Windows Mail, well the hotmail is out.. Hot Pop you need to pay for...
Gmail is like Hotmails and cannot come into windows mail...?? correct ??
I like the hotmail for giving out to internet purchases and other that I
don't want to give my regular email to..So what would be a good Hotmail
alternative ... of course the other thing I like about Hotmail in Express
was it's own folders... any possibility of achieving something like that
????

No... Gmail works fine with WM

Or use Thunderbird.

Gmail works fine with Windows Mail.

You might check into the new Windows Live Mail Desktop beta, also.

It's very similar to Windows Mail, and I understand it does Hotmail also.

Supposedly, Windows Live Mail Desktop will do it all:
http://get.live.com/betas/maildesktop_betas

I don't use it myself, because I have no use for anything
as undependable as Hotmail.

I understand that Windows Live Mail Desktop currently has
no ads, but that could be a temporary testing phase.
It has its own peer support group:

Windows Live Mail Desktop has ads.
If you have a paid Hotmail or MSN Premium account then there won't be any in
the released version.

I downloaded a copy one week ago, and there are no ads.
I understand there were ads in previous builds.

I probably don't have the latest edition. I also don't have a paid account.
I haven't used it for a while (I strongly dislike the program).

I'm traveling right now and can't get to the machine that has WLMD.

there are several Hot Pop programs, one is free.
