Thanks again Microsoft for mass confusion! Windows Live Mail does have a mail client! There are currently 7 programs you can download called the Live Essentials package. You can select as many of these as you want to download. They are: Messenger Mail Writer Photo Gallery Movie Maker Family Safety Toolbar To get these programs which all reside and run on your computer, go to: get.live.com So far, I do not like Windows Live Mail as much as Windows Mail. Perhaps it will take some time to get used to using. I miss the simple things like needing to press Control + D to delete a message rather than just pressing the Delete key. It seems Microsoft felt pressure to make Windows 7 seem slimmer than Vista as well as avoid more court cases for being a monopoly. If you are using a free antivirus or do not have one installed, I recommend uninstalling any other free antivirus and installing the Microsoft Security Essentials as well. I have found it accessible, unobtrusive and effective so far. You can download this for free at: www.microsoft.com/security_essentials Don Marang ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Justice" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, November 06, 2009 10:22 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] windows mail > As has already been stated, Windows Mail, and Windows Live Mail are too > completely different animals. > Windows Mail, is an e-mail client, and is available only with the Vista > version of Windows. > Windows Live Mail, is not installed on the system as an e-mail client, > rather, it is web-based mail, residing on a server. > The confusion of these 2 , is the fault of Microsoft, > as it is with Outlook, and Outlook Express. > People can become confused with these, as the terms are often used > interchangeably. >>From what I have seen, the only type of e-mail client offered by >>Microsoft, > that is not integrated into the operating system, > is Microsoft Outlook, which is generally included in the Microsoft Office > suites. > HTH, > Rick Justice > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Erin B.
