Having the same problem others had with windows mail. Not getting mail and getting message that mail left in outbox. Tried the download for vista and it opened but would not install as it stated not compatible with my system? To system info and double checked ( yes I am getting that old) and retried the repair. Went to tools and checked mail setting ok. Went to web and check mail at server. Installed Thunderbird as a tempory fix. Any info would be apreciated.

Yep it is hotmail oriented but you can't get any of your pop mail accounts unless you pay for the service! Won't work for me. Have to save up for when the quad x quad processors come out. I will be worth it to speed up my system by 10 nano seconds.

No I gave it a try a while ago and setup all my pop and IMAP accounts, its pretty much a direct replacement for window mail.

I tried it and it after signing on with my hotmail account and it wouldn't let me without paying extra. Must be different on this side of the pond. Will try again and if I get the same message I will post it here.

Contact your e-mail provider to determine whether they offer these features. If you're a paying Windows Live Hotmail user and you have another e-mail account that has POP3 access, you can configure Windows Live Hotmail to receive mail from that POP3 account.

Dxx I just received a pop mail email. Must be a difference between a pop and a pop3. You were right. Don't you hate it when your right and trying to help someone and the tell you you are wrong. So Sorrrrrry.

POP is really POP3.
BTW, Thunderbird *can* get HoTMaiL into your local folders - I have been doing it for years....
See WebMail
And if you have a GMail account , you don't have to use WebMail - GMail supports POP by default.
