By releasing Windows Live Mail email client, Microsoft has somewhat confused Vista users especially those that have been employing Windows Mail software to send and receive emails. Windows Mail is the default and free email client on the Vista operating system. It replaced the very popular Outlook Express software. In fact, it would not be wrong in considering Windows Mail as just a better version of Outlook Express — Outlook Express 7?
The interface of the two programs is similar with a couple of new and helpful features included in Windows Mail — The automated filtering of Junk email and search utility. It also has some really cool features including Photo email, RSS in your inbox , multiple account support including Hotmail , Gmail , blogging etc.
These are in addition to the automated junk e-mail filtering and an easy to use and extremely quick search utility. Vista Windows Mail is quite like Outlook Express — similar layout and interface, hence, easy for the not-so-tech-savvy to start using if they are shifting from Outlook Express.
The features included in Windows Live Mail, on the other hand, are overwhelming. My only peeve with the program is the childlike interface. Microsoft, in a mad attempt to get back some of the lost user base, has included multiple email account configuration in Windows Live Mail. I've just come across your reply to this point as of 14 December In Calendar Live via my "Hotmail - Outlook" account is it possible to quickly jump to a particular date some distance in the past.
Is there a keyboard shortcut for this. You referred to the old interface being replaced by that of Outlook. I've had so much trouble with this MS Windows Live Mail I've come to decide it isn't worth another moment of aggravation. Goodbye Live Mail. Google Gmail is so much easier to use. Easy to set up, takes no quantum-physics brain to handle, works all the time. What do we need something like this. Oh Really? How do you resolve those instances when Google Gmail decides you shouldn't receive a message from someone inbox, junk mail, or otherwise , despite your emailing the particular address in question and adding it to your contact lists.
In several years of using gmail, I have had multiple occasions where messages just disappear where I can email myself from a different account and not even receive that email. Yet there is no easy way to get support or an answer from gmail on why the service can be so flaky sometimes. If you have some other mailbox forwarding messages to gmail, you should be able to examine the Internet headers to determine the forwarding service. Select the message in gmail, then click the down arrow to the right of the date and choose "Show original".
I used google mail for a long time, including via web and on several Android and Windows devices, although I don't now. I never had an instance of losing a message. I did have an instance of Microsoft losing a whole lot of email in one swell foop a few years ago - won't use them again.
I don't think that's been the case for a long time, thought, since spam blocking algorithms have become pretty effective. Your lost mail might have been due to incorrectly identifying a message as spam. I find POP3 to be much more friendly to multiple devices. IMAP has the annoying characteristic of deleting an email from all devices if it's deleted on one, with no setting to prevent that.
I often keep old email for reference purposes on my desktop computer, but don't want it cluttering up my phone, tablet, and laptop, I have to be careful to save each one individually somewhere as a text file before I delete it from anything. Very inconvenient and accident prone, particularly when travelling without access to my desktop computer. Another problem is that it can be cumbersome or even impossible to move your mail from one IMAP service to another - your pretty much locked in.
With POP3 your mail is stored on your own computer s. IMAP was introduced primarily for corporate and government use, and stores all mail on a central server rather than downloading it. This allows the IT staff to control it, back it up, etc. With the later versions, Outlook Mail App can be accessed through a browser. Following are some of the major differences between the Live Mail application and MS Outlook email client:. Now Switch to Outlook.

This enables many home users to migrate from WLM. One such tool that makes the task easier is the Windows Live Mail Converter.
Many comparing Outlook Vs. Live Mail for Windows 7 can opt for this solution. It can export complete email folders with calendar items without any data loss.
