| 1402399 | 2015-06-10 05:57:00 | Hi All Asus Laptop. W8.1. Windows Live for mail. I am coming to terms with W8.1, but do I like the email part? No I Don't. Briought up on Outlook Express & then Outlook, I now find Windows Live Mail horrible. Hard to say why & what. But..... PJ |

| 1402400 | 2015-06-10 06:22:00 | Windows Live Mail is a mixture of Outlook Express and Outlook. Some like it others dont. Every email client is different. Example: Some swear by Thunderbird -- I swear at it -- I hate it, it can be a real pain to fix as well when it corrupts, had lots of jobs recovering mails from failed TB installs. Each to their own :) |

| 1402401 | 2015-06-10 06:35:00 | I am tempted to go back to Outlook.Com, or perhaps Windows Office Outlook. If I could get hold of the Email part only. PJ | Poppa John (284) | ||

| 1402405 | 2015-06-10 10:01:00 | I use live mail and am happy with it but have you tried the "metro" style E-mail? You may hate it even more but you already have it so if you haven't tried it you may as well. Usually to be found on the start screen, a blue tile with an envelope icon. If it's not there just type mail on the start screen and that should find it. | dugimodo (138) | ||

When I open it , it appears to be Hotmail!!! PJ |
