Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta


Recommended Posts

Few things;

- You need to an internet explorer to click the join now button. Doesnt work in Firefox or opera.

- MSN/WLM has adverts but people dont whine about that each and every beta or release

- There will be a patch no doubt to remove the ads no doubt

- Personally I still prefer Outlook express.

- Windows Live Mail Vista != Windows Live Mail Desktop - right?

LOL! The site was down right away. Few people got to see how it actually looks like. Btw to original poster, thanks and I was just joking...wasn't trying to be mean or anything. I am just amused about the hype that is going on with that plugin and I doubt anything else is "important" right now.

Nice screenshots. Like the interface *sans ads :crazy: *

I recieve the invite a long time ago, I'd give it a shot if they removed the ads :/ Why would we use this, when we can use Outlook or Windows mail for our hotmail/msn/live accounts? It seems that ever since Windows Live Mail has been released for the sole purpose of taking up more ad space than before...

BTW Is it possible to remove the ads by simply using ResHacker or something similar?

I quite like WLMD. I prefer it to thunderbird and outlook, as both of those lagged constantly. Mail desktop is much faster, and has a nicer look to it, without the ads anyways... Like this

A quick reshack fix, and the ads are gone, looks much better without a pointless banner to the side eh?

Can anyone tell me why Microsoft's Mail Clients open the first e-mail all the time? Even the WLM Webmail does that now. I simply don't like something opening my e-mails without my permission. I even sent them an e-mail about it over 2 months ago.

you can stop it doing it in windows live mail somewhere it will just show your inbox but wont open any message.

does this actually DOWNLOAD the messages and then save them on your computer. or does it just download them from the internet each time?

Thanks for that... :rolleyes:

It's bad enough how much hype there is over that plugin, don't let it spread into other threads too!!

:laugh:

    • Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.
    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
