Hi all,
I'm currently using Windows Mail and for the most part, it works very well. It's great to have Mail, Calender and Contacts built into Windows and they are a most welcome addition. Particularly for home users who can also purchase Microsoft Office Home & Student Edition and not worry about missing out on Outlook.
Anyhow, although I'm happily using Windows Mail right now, it does seem to be missing a few simple things that would make it more appealing:
- Ability to minimize to system tray
- Localized Spell Checking - although US English is available, UK English is not
Last but not least, I personally believe that in future it's essential that Windows Mail provide sync functionality for mobile devices. I use Windows Mobile Device Center but there is currently no way to synchronize with Windows Mail, Windows Calender or Windows Contacts. The only option is to use Microsoft Outlook and that really alienates a lot of home users.
Any thoughts?
