Windows Live Mail/ Hotmail

foxylady · 06-01-2006, 02:46 AM

I just signed up for the Windows Live Mail beta
Basically its the new version of hotmail.
It looks very different but I am liking it so far. Though I chose not to use the new styled interface yet

Is anyone else using this?

I have been using it for almost two weeks now. I like it and especially how you have one window pane where you can view your subjects and the other window pane shows the whole message. The only thing I don't like is that when you first log in, it loads up slow. But besides that, everything is fine.

Hey guys, I'm so curious about new Windows's email service.
Where can I try it??
I'm quite disappointed already with Hotmail, basically a spam mail box, and if they are offering a newer and better service I would like to try it.
Thanks!

I signed up for Windows Live months ago when they sent me an invitation. I personally don't like the new interface. Seems to me like they are trying to hard.

Also to the person who asked...No there isn't less spam.

I believe that if you don't pay for the email you will get tons of spam.

I haven't tried it at all. The email program I have won't check the new Live. I use Pop Peeper to get my email from hotmail and they just haven't fix it for the new Live.

its only beta so I imagine 3rd party clients cant access it yet.

I have started using the new interface but not the drag and drop interface, is anyone using that yet?

I have tried it too. But hotmail is hotmail, I would rather go for gmail or yahoo mail.

Yeah, not many people have been impressed with the new system. I'll stick with my domain email and gmail

If anyone needs an invite to gmail, be sure to PM me!

Get hold of Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta, its the replacement for outlook express and works with Hotmail. Hate to be saying it, but Microsoft have been putting out some pretty decent software on there 'Live' site recently!
