I never used OE for email, so the change doesn't bother me. I used Eudora
before it came out, and use Thunderbird now for most of my email. I just
use WM and WLM for testing purposes, and reading these MS newsgroups.
You might try the newer Windows Live Mail, which works better, and has been
updated since Windows Mail was released.

DAVE,
Thanks. Is Live Mail a standalone program (i.e., not connected to any
particular service)? What does it do for addresses (or contacts, if you
will). I have about 1700 of them!

Windows Live Mail is a standalone program. If you want more
information about it, you can find more people who already use
it in newsgroup:

WLM is a standalone program, although you can access Hotmail/Live accounts
with it, and it can connect to Live Messenger.
When you install it, it will import all of your messages and contacts from
Windows Mail. It keeps it's own folder of contacts.
