Check Out The Windows Live Mail Client


Posted by Mitch Wagner, Nov 6, 2006 11:38 AM

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.
