receiving emai in Live

I am still using Outlook Express on XP Home but have looked at LLive Mail in
anticipation of getting a computer with Windows 7. How do you receive mail?
In OE there is an icon on the tool bar to send and receive mail. Usually
when I am at the computer I check mail the first thing and them when I want
to. I don't want it to automatically check for me at certain time periods.
I also have several email addresses and don't like having separate send,
draft, etc.folders for each one.

WLM(Windows Live Mail) supports both pop3, IMAP, and http access. The latter is restricted to use with a Live ID Hotmail type
account(Live.com, Hotmail.com, Msn.com).

Send and Receive in WLM is different than OE or Outlook

WLM has the same settings as OE for Send/Receive at 'startup' and 'check for messages every [x] minutes'


If you have multiple accounts and do not wish separate folders for each account(Inbox, Sent, Drafts etc), then WLM may not be your
application of choice in Windows 7. In Windows 7 your other options are Outlook(from Office) or a third party email client.
