Sounds just like my brother! Are we related?

Do you and everyone else in this thread mean "semi-literate computer user" or "semi-computer-literate user?" There is a quantifiable difference.

There is a WindowsMail which ships with Vista and there is a WindowsLiveMail which you can download and install on XP, Vista or Win7. They are 2 different products. I am posting this with WLM only so I keep my newsgroup stuff separate to my email and because I don't like T/bird. WLM is not as good as OE and is buggy eg. I have a "folder" called Recovered items sitting on the left with 2 empty folders under that titled 10-29-2009 08-38-39 and 11-10-2009 07-23-43. I did not create these and I have deleted them many times but when I reopen WLM they are back again. My understanding is that WLM is the best changeover from OE. The best changeover from Outlook is a newer version of Outlook. If it weren't for the inability to block remote images and the lack of English support I think DreamMail is the best. |
