Windows Vista mail is the new Outlook Express. You will need

Don't bother with Windows Mail, it is virtually redundant and not
receiving much attention (if any) from M$ since they are
putting their
resources into its replacement
http://get.live.com/betas/maildesktop_betas
It has it's own newsgroup
microsoft.public.windows.vista.live.mail.desktop
which, unusually, has active M$ personel who are willing to
debate and
consider all suggestions with respect to future development.
I find the product quite good and the attitude of M$ in this
particular
case to be just what one would wish of a software supplier.
BTW it is easy to install and adopts all the WM settings.
Advising someone to use a BETA version of a product is
irresponsible, dear. If you don't understand why, read the
release notes for this BETA.
You have no experience with WM or WLM.
You're right but that doesn't make my statement about BETAs false,
now does it, dear?
There is nothing irresponsible about encouraging people off WM
no matter how dodgy the alternative..
Yes, there is.
What advantage has WM over WLM?
Talk to those with lots of experience ie. Gary, Frank and Steve
at the Windows Mail group.
Read the release notes if you want it from the horse's mouth, dear.
To the OP: use Thunderbird as it is not in BETA and works
wonderfully. Get it at
http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird
There you go again... encouraging people to go for an option
that simply cannot reproduce the functionality.
What functionality, dear?
Combine and decode.
XNews is better than all of them for that.
So why not recommend Xnews as a WM replacement?
