Check Out The Windows Live Mail Client
Gina Trapani at Lifehacker has a screenshot tour of the free Windows Live Mail client that's now in beta from Microsoft. She likes it. The client will grab POP3/SMTP e-mail from multiple e-mail accounts and even has friendly wizards to help walk users through setup of e-mail for Microsoft's competitors--Gmail and Yahoo Mail. It's also a feed and newsgroup reader and a contact manager. And it has "fast as-you-type search that rivals Google Desktop," Lifehacker says. Last week, Gina gave the mail client bundled with Windows Vista, Windows Mail, two thumbs down in another screenshot tour.Gina Trapani at Lifehacker has a screenshot tour of the free Windows Live Mail client that's now in beta from Microsoft.
