Mail Beta program requirements:

As you know, a beta program is comprised of key customers who have agreed to test an unreleased version of a product.  Through testing, you the customer will provide valuable feedback that our product team will utilize to make e-mail easier to use, as well as meet your and millions of other future customer's communication needs.  The Mail Beta is your chance to make a difference in the next generation of our e-mail product!

As part of being selected as a participant, you will be asked to:

?        Use the Mail Beta software on your PC regularly

?        Submit feedback and bugs to the Beta support team whenever you run into a bug or suggestion

?        Run through testing scenarios as they become available, and fill-out the corresponding surveys

?        Complete any and all surveys sent out during the Mail Beta

Why are we asking you to participate?

We are looking for a group of participants that are excited about the program and willing to provide valuable and actionable feedback throughout the entire beta period

As a member of the Butterfly beta group, we think you would be the perfect candidate to participate - However, we do ask you to please make your decision carefully.  Your feedback is crucial to the success of our product, and therefore, regular and consistent participation throughout the entire program will be needed.

What are the system requirements?

?        IE 6.0 or higher

?        A Hotmail (@hotmail.com) or MSN account (@MSN.com)

How do I sign up?

If you would like to participate in the program, please take our beta survey.  We have moved to a NEW beta management system, so the directions below are going to be a little different than you have been used to.  We are excited to be offering you a new and improved experience over our old system!

It appears to either be software to read your MSN/Hotmail or a new webmail service.

They talk about it replacing your hotmail account and refer to it as "Web mail".

Within a week of registering for the Mail Beta program your Hotmail account will be moved to the new product. You will experience the new web mail environment, within which you will continue to access your existing Hotmail account as usual. Your e-mail address, as well as all of your e-mails, calendar items, contacts and saved mail will remain as they were in Hotmail....... :whistle:

    • Onkyo Dolby Atmos AV receivers are really solid deals

      Deal for those who want 1900 size electronics in their house? with 2026/7 hardware mhm.. not nice
    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By ad47uk · Posted

      Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
