Microsoft and Windows Live has recently upgraded several features related to Windows Live mail which enhance the options that one can have with their @hotmail and @live free and premium email. This change permits those who use hotmail or live mail to do more with less effort in regard to communicating with those that you keep in contact with on a regular basis. I will be posting a series of blogs regarding these upgrades because there are so many and they are designed to be interactive throughout all of Windows Live services and features and msn.com. Most people are familiar with the recent Wave 3 upgrade and have questions but many do not realize all that Windows Live Mail can do for them or that these features are available to download.
I want to bring some information directly from the web page that one would go to who is considering obtaining the features offered with Windows Live Mail. At this link you can obtain a download which will permit you to have the features listed below and get additional information about system requirements and a quick overview.

| Windows Live Mail is Microsoft’s next-generation e-mail program. It includes the familiar features of Outlook Express and more. Use it to get multiple e-mail accounts in one place, and seamlessly access other Windows Live stuff like Spaces and Messenger. |
|
Get multiple e-mail accounts in one place—not only Hotmail, but Gmail, Yahoo!*, and many more. Plus, you can start a Windows Live Messenger conversation right from your inbox, or jump right into the latest updates from your friends' Windows Live Spaces blogs. |
|
Send high-resolution photos without clogging their inboxes with gigantic attachments. Your contact will see a thumbnail image embedded in your message. When they click on it, they'll see the full-sized picture, at a private Web location. Plus, you can do basic photo editing, add borders, and control just how the thumbnail images are displayed in your e-mail. |
|
Use Windows Live Mail to help maximize privacy, safety, and security across your e-mail accounts. Spam filters scan for junk e-mail, red and yellow warning bars tell you when a message seems to be suspicious, and the "Delete and block" button lets you tell scammers to buzz off. |
|
So, for some reason you've got Hotmail, Yahoo!*, and Gmail? (It's okay, we've all got our reasons.) Windows Live Mail is your e-mail command center where you can get messages and manage multiple accounts in one place: your desktop. |
| Quick views show you specific categories of messages from across all of your e-mail and news accounts. You select the quick views you want and see them in the folder pane. | |
|
|
RSS without the mess
Get content feeds delivered directly to your inbox—from news sites, blogs, and anywhere else that offers RSS. (RSS means "Really Simple Syndication," and is a way for web sites to send out their content.)
Do it offline
So you're traveling and can't get online? Read and delete e-mail, and write messages that will be sent whenever you're reconnected to the Web.
| Best of all this is |
If you like what you see here for email features you can see a full compliment of additional features that are completely integrated and accessible from your email to connect with everyone you communicate with online, friends and family at this link...
