Windows Live Mail.

Hi, All,

 

Got my biopsy wound stitches out and all Temporal ( Giant Cell ) Arteritis tests are negative! Great news and I'm rarin' to go.

 

Okay, I've installed Windows Live Mail to replace OE and it seems to be okay except for the very wishy washy GUI and the fact that the Colorizer option doesn't work as it should. It seems to be a common complaint from what I've read on the MS Windows Live Discussion forum and my post to them suggested nothing I hadn't already tried. I was just wondering if anyone here is using Windows Live Mail and what they've done about this problem.

have you looked at GMAIL? that is what I use and prefer it to livemail and yahoo, has good spam filter too.

Thanks, everyone,

 

Will have to get my thinking cap on.

Hi Ted

The program I have liked best was Outlook Express, I am currently using MsOutlook - but this is just because it gives better funtionality to the Office programs - otherwise I would still be using OE :-)

I have the program Windows Live Mail on my machine also, but very seldomly uses it - perhaps unfamiliarity with the program makes me a little negative towards it. I downloaded it to be able to describe to a friend how to use it, and to know what she was talking about when she asked a question.

Haven't really used it since :-)

Best wishes!!

Cheers

Hi there, solbjerg,

 

Yes, OE has always done all I wanted, but I decided to install WLM to keep up to date with all the latest technology (not always a good idea as I've discovered). It is very good, but its washed-out interface and small dim text makes usage a bit trying. From the number of similar posts I've read on the MS WLM Discussion forum, I'm not alone.

 

However, I've read that a new version is not far away, so will persevere and wait patiently.

Ted, you will be prone to acquaring unwanted cookies though.

 

Cheers.

Hi Ted,

 

Great news about the biopsy report. I know you're breathing easier now.

 

Thunderbird is arguably the best full featured, stand-alone mail client out there. Check it out at http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/

ASC and CCleaner will sort that lot out, eh?

Hi, JustDave,

 

Yes, feeling much better, now. Thanks for that link. I have heard a lot of good reports about Thunderbird.

Hi Ted,

 

Getting rid of them yes, but at the moment you use your browser, they will be there and doing whatever they are planned to do.

 

Cheers.

Hi, JustDave,

 

I've just installed the latest version of Thunderbird and I'm rapt with it!

 

Absolutely no problem with the installation. It automatically copied all the settings from OE and then copied and updated all the Local Folders I'd created. The only thing it asked for was my Password. I just have to find out now how to send my Mail to the Outbox before it's on it's way. Thank you very much.

Hi, enoskype,

 

Thank you for your advice. Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail are history now for me. Thunderbird rules the day!

[JustDave]

Hi Ted,

 

Glad to hear Thunderbird worked out for you. I'd be using it myself if I weren't using a contact manager with built-in mail client.

Hi, JustDave,

 

Yes, it suits me perfectly. Thanks again.
