Recieved an Email this morning from Windows Live Mail team.
Looks like they are implimenting a new protocol, with the excuse that the larger inbox capacity isnt suitable with the old Outlook Express protocol. You can download yet another program to check your Hotmail, plus others, if you so wish. No thanks, one is enough, I dont need all that new gumph. I suppose I will have to inconveniently collect it from the Interweb, unless someone comes out with a bypass. ![]() Dear Microsoft Outlook Express customer,

The new live client is a much better email program than oe.
One is enough, it will replace oe as your email client, you will not need to run both. |

![]() The new live client is a much better email program than oe. ![]() ![]() As for running both, lol, I just need a basic Email client to send/recieve emails, via pop3 and Webmail. I dont need all the new bells and whistles, (Gumph) as I said above. ![]() Thanks for your input. ![]() @ everton66. I will try other clients a bit nearer to the finishing date, thanks for the link. ![]()

I received that letter, as yet have not got new mail client. I rarely use OE mail client as my mail mail program picks up my hotmail, which I hope it continues to do so in the future.

Well, I thought I'd give it a go, so downloaded it and ran it. I normally use OE and it's facility to show my Hotmail, but I don't like the awkward way the mail accounts are displayed in this replacement so have binned it already.
Perhaps I'm just an old stick in the mud.

Must be the same Mud I am using, heha.
![]() ![]() I had a read about it, I didnt like the adverts bit, even though they can be turned off, which apparently selects words from an email and displays relevant ads using Active Search. That to me is a privacy intrusion, if it can read words, then it can read the whole damned email. ![]() http://microsoft.blognewschannel.com...e-advertising/ According to the site below, they seem very pushy for you to use the Active Search, stating that only Computers use the data and will never share your data/searches and/or Email contents. Yeah! right Bill, I will fall for that one, NOT! ![]() http://morethanmail.spaces.live.com/...ew&_c=blogpart Seems to be an offshoot from Vista. ![]() Some say its slow loading, but I will never know, lol and I certainly dont trust MS's bull about security. ![]()

Don't disagree.
But it appears to appeal to the webmail/yourSpace generation. Lots of flashing lights, bells and whistles. P.S. Ah adverts, sometimes I use someone else's PC and it has all these flashing banners... I would not worry to much about bill g reading your email. If there was anything interesting in it, GCHQ would have sent someone round for a chat. And besides the mail reason to use a MS client is to access the MS webmail servers. |

Guess that will affect Outlook users (I' using Office 2003) to although I've not received any such email from them.

@ Austin.
My disco lights and bass bin days are long gone, lol. ![]() I understand where you are coming from with the email reading and the server it passes through, its the PHORM type adverts approach, by selecting words from your Email, that would be my concern. ![]() The browser tracking, like PHORM, is already active in the US apparently. ![]()

Wont work for other mail clients tho (like thunderbird).
Why cant microsoft stick to existing protocols? Everyone else seams to be able to. Thankfully I am not, nor ever will be a hotmail user. (Advantages of running own mail servers) |
