Thanks for the reply!
It seems to be a bit chaotic as there are thousands of threads on
WinMail in
Windows Vista Forums > Programs
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistaprograms/threads?

It is chaotic. There are only 16 forums for Vista. Besides not being well
defined, people tend to post wherever they want without reading what
little instructions there are. I find WinMail posts in Desktop and Files
as well.

Take a look at Microsoft Answers Site Feedback forum. Even though it
clearly states that "Technical Questions Are Not Answered in This Site
Feedback Forum", about 90% of the questions are about technical issues.

Yes, it's a real mess :-(

Do you know in which forum one might meet the "regulars" like Steve
Cochran and Gary VanderMolen?

TIA

[Gary VanderMolen]

I do Windows Mail support in this forum:
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistanetworking

I do Windows Live Mail support in this forum:
http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7network

and somewhat here also:
http://www.windowslivehelp.com/forums.aspx?productid=15

I don't like to work in that last forum because
a) it doesn't work with the Community Bridge, and
b) it is inundated with users posting their Hotmail problems.

Thanks a lot for the info!
Great to know where I can find you!
Still working with WinMail(under Vista as well as under Win7) this for
sure is most valuable.

Thanks for the pointer!

That's a really drawback!
As a hard-core NNTP fanatic I guess that I will hardly go there too
often.

and b) it is inundated with users posting their Hotmail
problems.

The way Hotmai users normally behave, this does not sound too promising
;-)

Thanks again
and kindest regards

I post pretty much across the board in those forums. I don't cover WLM.

I don't like that at all and threw it off the machine after testing.

This is my reaction to it: www.oehelp.com/OEnWin7.aspx

I'm posting from XP Mode now.

I know ;-) ;-)

I'm still using WinMail - under Vista as well as under Win7.

Rainald
P.S. As on the quoted page you say that the XP-mode would require Win7
Pro and above:
It works pretty fine with the Home-versions too. Only drawback: One
needs XP SP3 (valid licence).
But one can get that pretty cheap in eBay. So the Win7 version nit
really is an obstacle.

 

[Steve Cochran]

The page actually shows a screenshot of a virtual XP window that is NOT XP
Mode, so I already discuss the use in the "lower" versions of Win7. XP Mode
requires Pro or higher, but one can use a valid XP virtual machine, or even
clone their old machines using Disk2VHD.
