I totally agree, Justin. I have stated the same thing before.

Now we have to wait for Outlook Express Live. Or whatever final name they
come up with.
 
I have to agree. Every version of OE always complained about
my last name, until I added it to the custom dictionary.

Gary VanderMolen

but you are not using OE.
never in my over 5 years of using OE did I NEVER have to deal with the same word more than once.
without adding it to my custom dictionary.

OE didn't make me add goofy words, that I use one time, to my dictionary.


ignore is for that spell check session not for any other.
to fix it you need to do as was suggested, add the words to the dictionary.
what I have done.
even for words that I want to be capitalized differently/

Thanks MICHAEL. I do also have a delay when I click on "To" or "Cc:", etc.
One more annoying characteristic. But I'm most annoyed by the "Ignore all"
bug.

Windows Mail is driving me crazy. I used OE on my XP Pro, with no
problems.
I successfully moved my folders to Windows Mail, and set up the accounts.
No
problem. But (a) When I click "Create Mail", I sometimes have to wait for
up
to a minute for the window, which does come up immediately, to change from
"not responding" to a state that lets me begin to compose the email. Also,
(b) After a spell check, OE remembered the words I told it to "Ignore
all",
but now every subsequent spell check, including when I "Send" makes me
deal
with the words again. Not "show-stoppers", but super annoying. I have
Vista
Home Premium on a very fast laptop. Anyone have a solution, or are these
just bugs I have to live with until they are fixed? Thanks, Paul

There is a "delay" for a lot of folks using Windows Mail when
composing and replying. I have seen this delay since RC2,
and not in any prior beta build.
Like you said, the window may pop up right away, but you can't do
anything for awhile. Do you also have a delay when you try
to highlight text in a reply window to cut or copy? I do.
This used to drive me crazy trying to figure out what the problem
was. I've tried numerous things. I have found that after having
WinMail open for about 30 minutes to an hour, the "delay" goes away.

I never thought I would say this, but Windows Mail is far worse than
Outlook Express ever was. I don't care what supposedly was done
to it to make it "better", but it really blows. I am amazed WinMail was
put into Vista in this condition. I really feel like I am using a beta
product.
Pathetic is the only word I can muster to describe Windows Mail.

Luckily, I use Outlook for email and only use WinMail for newsgroups.


Take care,

Michael
 
Sounds like BS. What setting where changed to 1? Exit what?
Better I should drive myself nuts than allow you to drive me nuts.

You can set WM to compact after every X number of uses. Set it to 1 so it
can compact when you exit THAT session. Then change it back unless you want
to it to bug you every time you exit.

How's that for BS Michael? Go into options and look for it yourself. Had
you been a little nicer about it I would have looked it up for you.
