Kraftman Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 http://g.msn.com/1csbeta/OELive is the direct download link for Firefox users. I hate Microsoft's "Live" style buttons which only Internet Exploder can handle.

*John* Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I'm having trouble with this. :( I download the .msi file, run it, and then it acts as though its installing, and then tells me that its made NO changes to my computer??? And then it displays this: HELP! :cry: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/479245-wl-mail-center-no-invite-needed/#findComment-587707072 Share on other sites More sharing options...
*John* Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Fixed it. I had to use winrar on the install, and run the .msi that was within the original .msi file....... weird?

*John* Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Hmmmmm Now i've had a chance to play with it, to me its pretty much the baastard child of Outlook Express and Outlook, minus the calendar and business features of Outlook, plus a load of eye candy. I was also thinking that MS would have taken this opportunity to make adding new accounts as easy as "Add Gmail Account" and "Add Hotmail/Live Account" etc.. But no, you still have to add new accounts the Outlook Express way? This is a useless program IMHO. Very very poor attempt by MS :no: Anyone else agree with that assessment?

John :) I agree Microsoft could of made this a LOT better but it is still in BETA. The problem I have is that I can access my emails through my primary @live.com email but when I add my other Hotmail account I get the following message: Unable to poll for new messages on your HTTP server. This account does not have permission to synchronize your mail. To sign up to gain permission to synchronize with this account, please go to http://ideas.live.com and join the notification list for this Windows Live Mail product. You will be notified when your account is enabled.
