Lack of HTTP support

12-23-2006

The removal of HTTP support from Windows Mail is a backward step from
Outlook Express.
I use the ability to collect all the family HTTP mail accounts in one go,
all the time, and it is very convenient.
Why has it been done ?
It means I will certainly not be upgrading any of my systems to Vista if I
cannot use HTTP mail in the mail client.

So that you'll use Windows Live Mail desktop with its advertising.

Unless you have a paid Hotmail or MSN premium account in which case Windows
Live Mail desktop does not show ads.
