Why has Windows Live Mail changed its name to Windows Live Hotmail? Thank you :) D@ny
Look around the WLM blog site, I think it's there. Check http://get.live.com and check for the blog links fe WLH
Hotmail was such a recognizable and widely known brand that Microsoft has decided to utilize this and renamed WLM to WL Hotmail. It's also partly due to number of Mail's that microsoft has floating around at the moment, people were getting confused. Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail, Windows Live Mail Desktop etc. etc. For once I think Microsoft PR department has actually got something right Colin Brown WL MVP
lol, just took a look at your MVP profile David, love the pic although you're legs are a bit askew from your body Colin Brown WL MVP
Hehe, personally I think MSIMN was so much friendlier... Since Outlook is part of the "Office" suite it could have been renamed Windows Office Mail, just for the new version and leave the older versions to fade naturally.. That would clear up the Outlook Vs OE confusion after a while. Vista mail or Vista Hotmail if you must (Since it is not for any other OS) would work for the non ad version. Windows Mail Express for the WLMD ad supported version which is very like OE but does all versions of Windows that are current. But then where did logic creep into this? Anybody? Charlie
Well, maybe my question just heightens the confusion. I am trying to figure out how to combine my Windows Live Hotmail email account, with my Windows Live Mail Desktop email page. First of all, I wanted a '@live.com' address and cannot figure out how to get one. I do live inside the United States. Second, I keep pulling up two different email windows = the Hotmail one, and the new Windows Live Desktop one. Even my password manager is confused. And now I am getting confused as to which way I should go. After I make a decision, how do I accomplish it? Does anyone know the future and can advise me what to use? Is the new Windows Live Mail Desktop going away? Will it all merge one day? Appreciate any help Thank you
