Hotmail Outlook Express Problem
The End of an Era? Windows Live Mail
Got a Hotmail Outlook Express problem ? OE has
been with us almost from the earliest versions of Windows, but
as from the 30th of June 2008 it will no longer offer
support for Hotmail accounts, this was a great feature.
Don't Despair
As we move into the Live era as part of Microsoft’s move from
Outlook Express they have now given us Windows Live Mail which
will offer Hotmail support.
The reason
for the switchover is a direct upgrade of the mail protocol DAV
to Deltasync which manages large mail boxes better than the
earlier DAV. This all makes sense as mail providers are always
increasing there mail box size limits.
Just in the last year alone the average mail box size has pretty
much doubled due to these larger limits, as users now don’t have
to clear mail boxes as frequently.
Included as standard with Windows Live Mail we now have
Unified Email Accounts
Sure even Outlook Express could offer multiple email account
support, but with Windows Live Mail unified accounts there is
now support for G-Mail and Yahoo accounts, plus messenger
conversations can now be started directly from Windows Live
Mail.
Photo Email
send thumbnails rather than large mailbox clogging photos, the
recipiant simply clicks on this to download the whole image, a
very useful feature especially if you like to send larger files,
beyond the send or receive limitations of many providers.
RSS Really Simply Syndication
Finally we have RSS added, it was never officially added to OE
which was a shame, but better late than never though.
Of course not everyone will appreciate the
forced change of mail clients, most people simply do not like
change, this is magnified when it comes to software, after all
it takes a while to get used to a software package and then you
have to learn another one.
Luckily on the surface Windows Live Mail does not actually look
a great deal different to Outlook Express, indeed even adding
new accounts is the same, it also gives us an easy hassle free
migration when upgrading to Windows Live Mail, simply install,
follow the prompts and let it do its thing.

So before you pass judgement checkout Windows
Live Mail, like OE before it is still free, but does offer a
number of improvements.
Gripes
It would have been nice to see a calendar added, but I guess
this may actually cause people to stop purchasing the full blown
version of Outlook.
It’s kinda sad
seeing our old friend OE moving onto the software scrapheap, but
it will always have a place in history.
