Windows Mail vs. Windows Live Mail
I've only had a vista machine since Nov 2007. It irritated me at first when I found out I could not set up WM to retrieve my msn.com mail. "Why would Microsoft make a client that can read seemingly any mail except that from a Microsoft server?" We'll never know. Since this is my secondary email account anyway, I got a good mail-forwarding freeware application that delivers my msn.com address to my primary address(couldn't do it straight from msn/hotmail/windowslive), which in turn is retrieved by WM. This works for me.
Other than that, I actually have come to like WM better than OE. Is there any other good reason why I should switch to Windows Live Mail? Will WM continue to be supported and remain in future OS versions? I've always preferred a desktop client over a web-based client, & WLM seems like it will just integrate with the web side of things too much for my taste.
Thanks in advance for any input.
