There are a number of features missing from WinMail that XP had. See
the messages in this NG for instance about restoring the Contacts
pane, which can't be done and which was removed solely because MS was
too lazy to continue to support it.
Yes, there have been quite some postings in this feature.
But I for one - honestly speaking - never missed that. I hardly ever had
the "address"-pane switched on. Just too many "contacts" for this
feature to be usable for me.
What I really miss, however, is the possibility to use the Outlook data
instead of the WAB/Windows Contacts. But this feature of IE has been
killed by Outlook 2007 anyway so that it's no longer available in OE too
{siiiigh}.
I'm still after a piece of software fir synching the Outlook Contacts
with the Windows Contacts. My addresses being out of synch is an
obstacle which bothers me by the day and the hour {siiigh}.
If any if the alternative mail- and news-clients would offer synching
with Outlook Contacts I would most certainly let WinMail be a thing of
the past for me.
Apart from this major thing I would yet have to come across anything
being "better" in OE than in WinMail.
