New Windows Live Mail Desktop released


Recommended Posts

can't get it to start

Starting Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta for the first time requires an online connection. Please connect to the internet and then try again. (0x80048883)

Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta could not be started because msmail.dll could not be initialized. Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta may not be installed correctly.

I guess it's because I am behind a proxy... I have tried running IE7 and browsing to a page to authenticate with the proxy and then running the program but this doesn't work

One of the MS Blogs suggests that error occurs because OE is running atthe same time, mine was disabled in the Program Access dialog, I enabled it and then uninstalled it and reinstalled WLM but it still doesn't work.

Another poster on the forum suggests having auto update enabled, mine is enabled. He/she also suggests running windows update, this doesn't work.

I've also tried installing the older version (same error) and updating with microsoft update (although the update doesn't appear on there)

Any ideas? :(

Thanks for posting the link to it. Installed it and it's working fine. Seems to run better and I like the slightly modified look. My only complaint is, did anyone else have a bunch of useless .log files show up on your desktop after installing it? That's annoying. It happens everytime I run it. Anyone know how to stop it from doing that?

I noticed that as well. I just deleted them.

i don't know what's the problem, but when i install this new version, it says that download the latest version from ideas.live.com, and interrupts the installation. I tried removing the old version and than install this, it also didn't work, and when i tried installing the older version, the same error occurs!?!? So what can i do?

IS NNTP access broken in this build? Everytime I've tried to use newsgroups it crashes, on 2 separate systems - briefly saw something alluding to this in the newsgroups before I hosed my installation trying to access the newsgroups a few times.

Anyone else feel this is a huge improvement on the old beta? I'm quite impressed with it myself so far! :)

Not tried this version yet, however the previous version just did not work.

Kept giving a memory error.

I was a beta participant for the first beta release, and I've tried the second release.

However I prefer the web-based version of Windows Live Mail. Both standard and basic versions of the Windows Live Mail client seem to be more stable than the desktop client. I think the web client/s handle junk mail better (with the report and delete buttons, etc) and are easier to use. :book:

Build .932 is out, get it from ideas.live.com

Source: www.liveside.net

Some major interface & functionality improvements even compared to the previously leaked .924 from a week ago...the ads have also been overhauled, unfortunately, so if anyone can figure out how to ResHack this one, I'd love to know :)

you MUST uninstall old versions or it will crash as i found out.

I LOVE this build i had the really old build, now this has add sender to blocklist and delete mail which it was missing badly.

Doh

If I uninstall will I lose my e-mails or anything like that?

Thanks

Topic already started on BPN for older build:

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=483539

Possible move/merge?

Its good that a few new builds have been released recently,I'll wait for a bit to see what others say about stability etc before trying it again

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
