Windows Live Mail Desktop by fergofrog on 06-22-2006 at 09:43 AM

Hi. I didn't know wether to put this here on in the MSN/Messenger folder thingy, i decided here so i don't get shouted at.

To the point, i in the last hour recieved my invitation to Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta. I accepted and agreeded and downloaded and installed it and when i go to signin it comes up with the message in the screenshot (i have typed in the right email address, but i have whited it out for the screenie). Can someone please help me.

1. I'm not sure that has relevance to this thread TBH.
2. The screenshot on that page is old.

I got that error momentarily earlier when everything was just being megaslow. It resolved itself though.
If only there was a proper tech support location for this product, instead of the Space.

RE: Windows Live Mail Desktop by YourNeibour on 06-23-2006 at 04:08 PM

sais error installing it.

It works perfectly for me! If you leave out the fact that it opens everything but my actual inbox *-) So I went back to using outlook. Blah.

In all honesty, I'm not too fond of live mail desktop, too many bugs apparently.

I LOVE windows Live Mail Desktop WOW something microsoft did an awesome job in.... very easy to use very stable again just works fantastic. I wonder if Patchou or Mess.be will do some add-on's or anything for this program I hope soo ....... or if someone can get rid of the advertisment on the side!

RE: Windows Live Mail Desktop by find_your_spot on 06-25-2006 at 12:24 AM

Let me guess: you were checking only Hotmail and GMail accounts.

I like it: it's set up to check 6 POP3 accounts, two Hotmail accounts (though only the WLM one works, the still-Hotmail one doesn't - to be expected), and one IMAP account. Not only that, but I moved a message sent to GMail to my Windows Live Reference box

Edit: Though it's slow and buggy, but it's a friggin' beta, so whaddya expect after all?
