Windows Live Mail (formerly named "Windows Live Mail Desktop", code-named "Elroy" [ [http://morethanmail.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!B7DD1FF3F141F9A1!4079.entry Windows Live Mail v1 is released!] ] ) is an e-mail client from Microsoft's Windows Live set of products. It is intended to be a successor for Outlook Express on Windows XP and Windows Mail on Windows Vista. The Windows Live Mail version numbering starts at 12 because this application is an advancement of Outlook Express/Windows Mail, not an entirely new application. Windows Live Mail is developed by the same team that wrote Windows Mail.

Version History

Version 12

Version 1 of Windows Live Mail was released on November 6, 2007.

Windows Live Mail has all of the features of Windows Mail. It also adds the following new features:

* Support for Web-based e-mail accounts including Windows Live Hotmail, Gmail/Google Mail, and Yahoo! Mail.
* A different user interface which matches the other Windows Live "Wave 2" applications
* Synchronization with Windows Live Contacts
* Support for RSS feeds. Notable features include the ability to reply directly via email to the author of an item that appears in an RSS feed, and the ability to aggregate multiple feeds into a single folder. The RSS functionality requires Internet Explorer 7.
* Multi-line message lists, as in Outlook
* Emoticons can be used in e-mails and other functions
* In-line spell checking
* Separate inbox folders for different POP accounts
* Improved support for sending picture files in e-mails, including the ability to perform basic photo correction and apply different border effects to pictures.

Version 14

A beta version of Windows Live Mail was released in September 2008. It features a new user interface which, in common with the other Windows Live "Wave 3" beta applications released at the same time, has no icons on the toolbar buttons. It also features a new calendaring function. Calendar events automatically synchronise between Windows Live Mail and the Web-based Windows Live Calendar.
