so this Windows Live Mail is software like outlook or thunderbird correct?

Yep, it's a software client like thunderbird. But because it's microsoft it links directly with hotmail (the web interface) so if you log into one the other will sync so you are always up-to-date. You can download it here.

Yes :) As someone else said you can download it from download.live.com. It also syncs to other email accounts as well as Hotmail (Gmail, Yahoo Mail, POP3 accounts, IMAP accounts, etc) as well as reads RSS feeds if you add them and syncs to the online Windows Live Calendar if you choose to use that feature. It is very good, especially in its integration with Windows Live Messenger, Windows Live People and other Windows Live services and software.

I think it's a webmail with tons of features which is extremely slow..

hotmail is extremely slow on me too I wish I could go back to old hotmail and it doesnt work with Opera!

No it isn't a webmail service. Windows Live Mail is software, Windows Live Hotmail is a webmail service. There is going to be another update to Windows Live Hotmail in either January or February which may help with a lot of your problems/complaints :)

It's already 70% faster than the older version so maybe it is the web browser you are using or your Internet connection? I have no problems with the latest Windows Live Hotmail update using Firefox.

First was Outlook 07.

But since upgrading WLM to Windows Live... etc, I've been stuck with WLM.

Nice interface and easy to use.

Havent' set up GMail, not sure if you can, but I use good ol' gmail notifier for FireFox.

It works very nicely with Gmail for those who wish to use Gmail and don't prefer the Windows Live integration ;)

Thunderbird (Y)

Lightning, Gmail & Hotmail support plus RSS feeds and more :heart:

Just like Windows Live Mail but with a better user interface and Windows Live integration ;) (ok, I'll stop now :p)

I use Windows Live Mail. It's not that horrible.

What do you mean "not that horrible"? How's it even horrible at all?

In your opinion that is :p

I use Thunderbird on OS X & Linux as well. Can't do that with Win Live Mail :p

Besides, I like my apps to look minimal as possible..

Not ugly and glossy with that bloated look :p

Microsoft Outlook 2007. I use my personal computer for organizing things work related, and I like having my mail, calendar, contacts, and a to-do list all in one application.

That's good to hear! I like the same thing, especially receiving my emails straight away, like with Windows Live Mail (that's how I reply to people on here so quickly :p).

I was just wondering, CoMMo, if you use Windows Live Hotmail or Windows Live Messenger much? If so, you may benefit from using Windows Live Mail instead of Outlook as I'm pretty sure it does the same and more and you also get the integration with your Windows Live contact list and Windows Live Calendar (which you can edit online as well as on your computer and you can add people to the contact list who don't use Windows Live) :)

Hello,

I use Qualcomm's now-sadly-discontinued Eudora mail client. The program has excellent rule (filter) creations capabilities and the search indexing works quite well, too.

Penelope is an open source project designed to provide Eudora-like experience on top of Mozilla Thunderbird, which is slowly moving forward with beta releases.

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky

I actually want to "avoid" integrating it with my Windows Live contacts. I got Messenger way back in middle school when it was still MSN Messenger because it's what everybody used, and since then have accrued roughly 200 contacts, half of which I don't remember, lol. I don't want to make a whole new ID because this one is tied to my XBox Live and things, and I don't really have the time right now to sit down and pick through all of my contacts and get rid of the erroneous ones, lol.

    • I wonder how many are laid off for cost savings, and this being blamed on AI to make it sound less scary and bad, for a more positive "modern, with the times" spin for investors? Because Oracle is down 14% the past year. We're looking at a company struggling here. If AI would actually be working out so well for them that they can do massive layoffs, surely this would've been reflected the past year in their stock value?
    • AI is the beginning, wait until real robots replace more jobs, specifically jobs that require physical work.
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it by Hamid Ganji There’s no question that AI has become the hottest trend in workplaces, and every company is trying to adopt AI-driven solutions across its operations. While some industry leaders repeatedly say AI won’t lead to massive layoffs, recent data suggest that AI is actually one of the main reasons some companies are reducing their workforce. According to Oracle’s annual regulatory filing, the company has laid off about 21,000 employees, or 13% of its workforce, amid increasing AI adoption. “The adoption and deployment of AI technologies across our operations have resulted, and may continue to result, in reductions to our workforce,” Oracle said in the filing. The software giant now has approximately 141,000 full-time employees, a notable decrease from 162,000 during the same period last year. Restructuring expenses, including severance payments, cost Oracle $1.84 billion in fiscal 2026. Additionally, around 49,000 Oracle employees were based in the U.S., while approximately 92,000 were employed internationally. Like many other companies, Oracle has fully embraced AI and concentrated much of its efforts on the technology. The company is also a key participant in the United States’ $500 billion Stargate Project, which aims to build multiple AI data centers across the country. When it comes to AI adoption and its impact on the workforce, opinions remain divided. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, recently said in an interview that attributing job cuts to AI is a “lazy” narrative. “The narrative that connects AI to job loss, for many of the CEOs that are doing it – it is just too lazy. AI has just arrived, how is it possible they're already losing jobs?” Huang said. However, statistics and recent reports tell a different story. According to Layoffs.fyi, 196 tech companies have laid off about 119,800 employees so far this year. Reducing staff and replacing roles with AI agents could become one of the most significant trends in the job market in the years ahead.
