Does anyone know if Microsoft are relaesing a download to sort out the
problem with "Windows Mail"? The "Cant delete mail from deleted messages"
problem

That is what is being touted, but it is hardly an upgrade of the Windows
Mail program. It may be a follow-on. But I for one won't use a web based
system. I have Mozilla Thunderbird and will use it as my newsreader. I use
Office Outlook for e-mail.

Web based system?
WLM isn't one of those.
WLM is an email client..

It might someday become one, if I ever manage to get a version that
actually works :)

Charles,

I also use Thunderbird for newsgroups and Outlook for email.

Windows Live Mail is not "web based", it's an actual email and
newsreader client. It's okay for email and a bit better than WM
for newsgroups. But, it still doesn't handle newsgroups nearly as
well as Thunderbird.

Apart from the grievous functional deficiencies of
Thunderbird as a newsreader.

Any "grievous functional deficiencies" Thunderbird may
have, are minor compared to WM and WLM horrid handling
and ultimately choking many times while trying to read newsgroups.

The only thing that I wish Thunderbird would do, is mark cross-posted
messages read once you read them in one group. Otherwise, it's simply
a better program than WM or WLM.

I'm not getting any of the rumored performance problems with
WLM newsgroup processing.

For instance... I just marked as read 3000 Vista.general posts
and it took a couple of seconds max.

From a stability and performance POV
WLM is a big improvement on WM.

"rumored". You must be joking.

It's an improvement, yes. IMO, it's not a "big"
improvement. Not yet.

I thank all of you for the education. I had made a false assumption. Why a
name change in a few short months? It took years to eliminate the confusion
between Office Outlook and Outlook Express.
