Free Software & Purchased Softwarewe shouldn't expect too much from WLM or some other "free" Microsoft software because we are not paying for it. ....That we should buy Outlook for example if we want more. But many of us see Outlook as slow, cumbersome and designed for business use -- not personal use -- ergo no integrated newsreader. We want a personal email client and newsreader -- a genuine successor to OE. So, I say charge us for WLM, sell it to us -- as a superior, carefully honed and developed Microsoft product, constantly upgraded and refined -- worthy of the Microsoft name. But don't produce a grossly inferior, botched product and then tell us we shouldn't expect too much because it's free. -- DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas Vires et Honor "D.

You can even use Hotmail on it with the appropriate add-ins. And with the Lightning Calendar extension (there are LOADS of free add-ins for it) it is rapidly approaching the functionality of Outlook. (And don't let certain MVPs tell you otherwise - use it and see) Get it here: http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/products/thunderbird/ -- Asking a question?

But I think Forte Agent is even better.
