Windows Live Mail Desktop beta invites sent


Posted by chris on 22 Jun 2006 (2818 views)
Microsoft today have sent out invites for the beta version of Windows Live Mail Desktop. Invites were sent if you had signed up through a link at ideas.live.com.

This beta offers the new "flair" design that Windows Live Messenger and the web service, live.com, has. Parts of the beta look alot like Outlook Express especially the options panel. Hopefully though, as the beta progresses on this will change.

Features include:

You'll also be able to read and manage your RSS and newsgroup content as easily as you get e-mail.
Even when you're offline, you'll be able to sort and compose e-mail.
You'll get 2 GB of online storage with your Windows Live Mail account, which is enough for 1,000 high-resolution (2 MB) photos
And a bunch of other reasons, too.

Also: if you try Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta you don't have to get rid of Outlook Express. And all your Outlook Express e-mail, folders, and contact information will come with you into the shiny new world of Windows Live Mail Desktop Beta.

I'll have to say that it sucks, since there are ads, and the RSS only works if IE7 is installed.
