Hi

I just installed IE7. I'm wondering why OE6 is not upgraded to OE7.

Steve

OE has been split off from IE, so there is no OE7.

Was there any truth to the rumours that Windows Mail, that comes with Vista,
was to be available for XP?

No chance at all. There will be a program available for XP/SP2 called
Windows Live Mail Desktop, but from what I see so far, I'm not jumping for
joy about it.

I strongly dislike WLMDb. I use it once a day to collect my Hotmail and to
post in microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop

Answer in newsgroup. Don't send mail.

Will OE6 ever be updated? Or will there still be a standalone email client
after OE6? 'Windows Live Mail Desktop' sounds like something you can only
use when you're online (no good for me with my dial-up). Thanks.

Windows Mail will come with Vista. The OE you have is the last one.

To keep track of things, it helps immensely if you include all of previous
message(s) in your replies to the newsgroup. Thank you.

We may see a few fixes for OE6 in the future (but nothing dramatic, I assure
you) and anything security-related will be addressed as long as your Windows
version is still supported.

WL Mail Desktop requires being online, yes. It seems MS figures everybody
in the /world/ has affordable broadband access. Go figure.

Could you please explain the role / status of MS MVPs? I thought they were
not part of (employed by) MS in which case your assurance has no foundation.
I have also seen statements like "don't ask me I'm not part of MS". These
two don't sit comfortably together and obviously I'm not clear on the
matter.

Thanks.

Some MVPs are more MVP than others. I can assure you that PA Bear knows
exactly what he's talking about.
