That Life Mail looks more like Outlook to me, but I understand what you say and although I'll miss my ole hotmail, i will have to do it. MSN no longer 'maintains' hotmail then I assume?
I will do what you say with the temp files.
Other than that looks like I'm off and running again. So thanks (!) and till the next time (hah!).
Nope it is now all windows live stuff
Keep safe
Well, they still do have "hotmail". You're thinking of the client software though I think.
Outlook Express was built-in to Windows XP and with Windows Vista and 7, it was replaced by Windows Live Mail. Same software, just updated a bit. You probably have guessed by now, that each time they update their Office software, the built-in "dumbed-down" version of mail client that is installed by default in the Operating System corresponds to whatever version of Office that is available at the time.
XP has Outlook express, which sort of corresponds to Outlook 2003. Windows Vista/7 have Windows LIve Mail, which more or less looks like Office Outlook 2007/2010.
The services are still there, it's just the software that changes. Hotmail.com is still available and working, it's just the new addition of @live.com addresses that are new (which I have). Now, reading my @live.com emails, I still use hotmail.com to access them.
