Vista’s mail client was not too shabby, but it wasn’t the best mail software either. Yep, but that’s still better than no mail software at all?! True, but Microsoft did not forget you! Windows Mail is now part of Windows Live Essentials (link below) and is called Windows Live Mail.
Microsoft’s free new mail client is a lightweight mail client with a modern and fresh design – easy to use and you can run it on older PC’s as well!
Let’s take a peek at the new design:
Nice: The color of the skin can be customized.
Simple design
The design is pretty sleek and simple and you will quickly find whatever you need to get the things done: Add a new mail account, retrieve mails and send mails.
More than just mails
Of course, Windows Live Mail can be used for more than just sending out mails. You can use it as your daily desktop calendar, subscribe to feeds and newsgroups or to manage your contacts.
