Outlook Express

[Guest]

My Outlook Express 6 account was linked to my Hotmail account.
It worked great because I travel and was able to create e-mails on the fly
and send them later. Also on the fly I could log onto the net open Outlook
and download my Hotmail e-mails reading them later. Now with Vista, Outlook
Express is replaced with Windows mail which no longer works with or
synchronizes with Hotmail.
This creates a real problem for me does anyone have a fix or and idea for
this?

Thanks.

Then try the beta Hotmail or Live Desktop...

You use the webmail and hotmail extensions in Thunderbird to access
hotmail. If you wish to try the webmail extension, you may have to
goggle for it. Or you could use something like Hotpopper or FreePops.

UNFORTUNATELY NONE OF YOUR SUGGESTIONS WORKED, BUT!
I CONTINUED TO INVESTIGATE THIS VIA THE WEB AND FOUND A SUGGESTION SOMEONE
MADE TO DOWNLOAD WINDOWS LIVE MAIL DESKTOP BETA.
FOR ANY ONE LOOKING TO LINK YOUR HOTMAIL ACCOUNT TO YOU PC AS DONE IN
