Windows Live Mail 2012 is awesome!

I just wanted to express my appreciation to the programmers of this awesome piece of software! Have been using it since 2012, and now on Windows 10 as well and it has never let me down. Let's hope it will keep working forever :P.

Yep. I use it as well, under Win 10. And it is indeed good: which it's replacement - the Metro Mail app - definitely isn't...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Actually, software not letting you down is not a reason to consider it awesome - it's not supposed to let you down by design . . . oh . . . wait . . . this is a MicroSloth product . . . awesome doesn't cover it - dumbstruck! Nearly a "Big O"! - astonished! - blindsided.

That's probably why they removed it and replaced it with something that doesn't work... :sigh:

I tried to enter server port numbers, googled a bit for work arounds, and then decided to not used it at all. So lasted about 30 mins I think. :laugh:

Exactly, I guess it was so good, it could not be improved upon. But ofcourse there is a team that needs to do something, and obviously it can't work on an already perfect product. Oh well, there are always new wheels to make!

Oh, it's not perfect - I'd like a way to reset the "you've got mail" taskbar indicator without opening a message (I have rules set to throw some messages straight to the bin and they flag up "mail waiting" and you can't clear without reading a message, any message). But...it is damn good!

I have precisely two tiles in my W10 start menu (they're not "live", and they're as small as I can make them): 0: "Store", which I haven't visited for months, because it's a waste of time trying to find "appies" that are anywhere near as useful as their desktop counterparts. 1: "Phone Companion", which I've never used but haven't deleted, because it looks as if it might be useful one day, despite the fact that I can communicate perfectly well with my Android phones without an "appie" (which will probably not do it half as well). I did have a weather appie, for a while, but who needs a weather appie on a desktop/laptop? That's what phones are for.

Yeah, I don't get the need for live tiles on my desktop computer. To me the live behavior is actually a minus, it's just distracting from being productive. Seems like MS is thinking I want to be bombarded with as many impulses from the internet per second as possible to keep me fully informed. It's totally contra productive. I removed all tiles, and now there's a shortcut to cmd.exe and the calculator, so I guess I'm using it as a shortcut panel, kinda like the desktop.
