First look at Windows Live Mail
PC World | at | by Mike
Today Microsoft released the first beta version of Windows Live Mail, a free download that will replace Outlook Express in Windows XP and Windows Mail in Windows Vista. While the application looks interesting and polished, it's still a true beta, with a number of bugs and missing features.
Microsoft says the new program brings in features from both of the previous Windows mail applications. I spent a few hours with Live Mail today and got a first look at its new design, its ability to pull messages from Web mail and other accounts, its photo e-mail composition option, and other new features. It comes hot on the heels of the new Hotmail, which launched earlier this month.
