Windows Live Mail ... M6 released


Posted by the andyman on 16 May 2006 (2520 views)
The Windows Live Mail team launched the latest milestone of their product last night. As Chris previously reported some of the improvements/new features include:

  • Firefox support - includes drag and drop and signatures but doesn't include spell checker and the resizable splitters between message list and reading pane.
  • Better performance and faster loading times
  • Effective UI tweaks and ability to change colours on the fly (notice the new loading grahpic is the same as in the most recent Windows Live Messenger beta)
  • The return of signatures
  • More 'Classic Hotmail' updates
  • Don't auto select first message when the inbox is loaded
  • Policy changes meaning accounts expire in 120 days if inactive instead of the old 30 days limit
  • Compose button is displayed on every page
  • Subscribe to contact updates
  • Contact display name choice
  • The skyscraper ad on the right side has been removed (finally)
