I've been using Live Mail for as long as I can remember...in fairness, I have never try Windows Mail because it does not work with Hotmail. I like Hotmail because of the Report and Delete Spam filter. When I need information from the Internet, I know that I can provide my Hotmail account because even if I'm spammed, I can fix that quickly.
Apart from Hotmail, I have five other email accounts from Gmail and my ISP and I can access them with a single click. With Windows Live Mail "beta" I get 2GB of space. As for replacing Windows Mail, I'm not sure. I believe that just like Outlook Express, Windows Mail is built-in into Vista and cannot be deleted. However, when I set 'Windows Live Mail Desktop' as my default email client, Windows Live disappear from the menu. |
