This fills my Temp folder with crap. If you upload images or other files This uses something called upload control. The folder that Your file is located in is scanned and it puts things your temp that isn't cleared. I had hundreds of files in my temp from using Microsoft upload control. This isn't better than Outlook Express at all.

Good looking and feature rich email application.Easy to use. Gives you a great overview to an unlimited numbers of mail accounts (POP3, IMAP, HTTP, Gmail, etc). Outstanding seach oppertunities. Calendar application integrated. Works perfect with a Windows Live account. Addware? No way, Gmail is addware. /dreamz

This program shows promise but still has some unfinished items. The program works great and is reliable, but there are some UI elements which really bug me. For example, they removed ALL icons form the tool bar and the folder tree. As a result, it looks unfinished. Photo mail is a cool feature, but it needs more effects and options to feel complete. The photo borders are somewhat old looking. Outlook 2007 has great photo effects. you would think the LIVE team could borrow these. The junk mail controls are very good. On par with Outlook 2007. It's worth checking out. Much better than Outlook Express, Windows Mail (the default Vista version), and Thunderbird 2. When Win7 ships, there will be no mail client built in. There will be a link for you to download Windows Live Mail. So, we may see an update by summer.

"Very good, and easy to use." Very easy, to set up. It does most of the work, for you. Works GREAT, with Avast. It gives you options to load your own colors, but I could not get it to work for me. This is, like I said, a "Good Program". Just as easy as Pie, to set up, and your off!!

Upgraded my previous version fine. Runs well and it is a great client t use. Comparable to Windows other free mail clients and I do like the way it handles and inserts photos, very simple to use. I prefer it over Thunderbird and Eudora. Creating rules is still a little cumbersome and sometimes the font formatting / stle and colour fails to apply when replying to a person and writing within their text, if that makes sense.! I do miss the icons that were available in the earlier previews. I do miss being able to display your contacts in a list in the main pane like you could with their previous clients. Good newsgroup support.

I couldn't get this to work on XP sp-3 either. I had to do a system restore to get my old version back. It kept saying not enough memory and disk is full. It was running in 3 instances in the windows process window, even after re-starting the computer.

It's very well laid out, and you can set up multiple email accounts quite easily...clear instructions I've got a corrupted live mail, and apparently the only fix is to delete it and reinstall...there is no repair facility at all....

None you cannot use it. You cannot get it up and running. Outlook Express is an email client that is bundled with Windows XP. This email client-Windows Live Mail is one of the many clones of Outlook Express. And there are many other clones-Thunderbird,Spicebird,Zimbra Desktop,SeaMonkey Mail and this. And like Outlook Express,this email client asks you for your email address which you know. But then you are stopped right there-because it asks you for you incoming POP server-I don't know that. And then it asks for your outgoing SMTP server-I don't know that.So the email client does not get set up and of course the email does not get sent.So you won't even get it up and running. Most people including myself don't know what their pop server is. And even if you do know and type in the answer they want it still does not work.But there is a bright side-if you have got Windows 7 you don't get an Outlook Express clone-email client-unless you choose to install it. And if you do make the mistake of installing it. You can uninstall it again. But on Windows XP or Windows Vista,you are not so lucky. As Outlook Express is bundled with Windows XP and Windows Mail it's clone is bundled with Windows Vista.So you are stuck with it. And on Windows 7,Windows Live Mail is a later version of Outlook Express. And is a clone of it,but it is not bundled with Windows 7.But like Outlook Express it does not work. None of the email clients do because they all have the same system, of asking for your pop server, and then they even ask for your port numbers. And nobody knows that and I and my friends don't know that. So I think that they should rename Outlook Express and clones-THE EMAIL THAT NOBODY CAN USE. And one thing is for sure that if you try this or another clone of Outlook Express.That YOU won't be able to use it either.Andrea Borman.

The program is good, but advertisement is annoying. And it forcibly opens an IE window from a link despite chrome being my default browser.
