windows mail

So I basically lost a weekend because of Windows Vista's replacement for Outlook Express. The replacement is called "Windows Mail".

I thought I'd figured out the steps of how to transfer the mail, contacts and settings on my own. It appeared to work until I tried to send an email, at which point it just froze... boo!

So I ended up buying software to do it: Express Assist 9

It works quite nice except that Windows Mail now takes over an hour to backup & restore my email, when outlook express took less than 10 minutes...

At least I'll finally be able to sleep...

Two words for ya man. Mozilla Thunderbird. Way better than anything Microsooft will ever make and you can port everythying over to it from Outlook/Windows Mail.

I looked into that, but there were some outstanding issues that concerned me... I can't remember what now... but yeah, it was definitely tempting!!
