abuttayeb Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Live mail... I think it has a much cleaner look and much more options. However, gmail is faster (at least for me) right now. I will see when live mail beta is released to the public. much more options? clearly u havent used gmail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee G. Veteran Posted January 7, 2006 Veteran Share Posted January 7, 2006 Gmail - Lighter and cleaner. The trouble with Hotmail/Live Mail is it takes too long to sign in and has ads and generally seems slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trek Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Live Mail. I am used to Outlook in a corporate environment, so the UI for Mail is very familiar to work with. Also, I use my passport for everything, and hardly use any Google Apps so I'm usually logged in at all times to MSN; very convienient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimy Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 much more options? clearly u havent used gmail. Clearly you haven't use live mail. I have both. I cannot drag and drop in gmail. I cannot right click and delete either. Let me rephrase that. Live mail has MORE USEFUL, to me, options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger_r Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 LOL, you said you liked live mail, but in your sig, you're requesting an invite for Live Mail :wacko: :wacko: Ups, sorry i forget update my signature :whistle: :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Caro Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I've got some points against WLMail 1. When I log in, the first mail in the inbox is automatically opened. 2. It's slow.. at least on my comp.. when selecting things and such.. 3. I guess the bigass banners and the lack of support for other browsers will eventually be solved anyway. 4. Is there anyway to resize the list with all mails? I can't see the title entirely Pros: - Images won't be shown - Links will not be clickable (sometimes this is good, ehe) - Cleaner, but weird, interface I like Gmail better. Mails grouped in conversations are REALLY useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimy Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 4. Is there anyway to resize the list with all mails? I can't see the title entirely Yes, just pull the bar to the right ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commodore Max Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 As a tester for WLM, i must say that WLM is great for it's features. But that's about it. The UI is quite ugly, and it's still missing a bunch of features. They have work to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esteem Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 Yeah myself i like Gmail i havent tryed WLM yet but from all i have seen it looks liek its got nothing on Gmail other then being able to drag and drop things in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLeeM@N Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I haven't test live mail because I have a gmail account that is just enough. I'll still keep my gmail account and I dont see the utility to have both :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeschneider Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Windows Live Mail, by a long shot. Gmail is okay, but I hate the layout and the colors associated with it. There are pros and cons with both. Gmail has alot of storage and attachment size, but its look is awful. WLM has a better layout, a reading pane and operates slightly faster (on my computer, at least). WLM also has a great drag-n-drop feature and, in my opinion, more options.

drunk_monk Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 WLM i am currently using but i really liked Gmail aswell when i used it, the filters worked great but I haven't played arround with WLM to see if it has filter functions so your mail is sorted to different folders.

primexx Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Gmail right now, has more storage, more features, better file structure. However I do like the drag-and-drop and right click functions in Live Mail, I wish gmail had those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syphonic Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 My mum loves live mail because it's just like Outlook which she uses at the office. Hotmail was too different for her (she's quite simple lol) Anyway I like features in both. I dislike gmail's labels, I don't like seeing all my email in the inbox i wish you could have folders like Live Mail :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
