Hiyya Brink yeah mate just loaded it and it is quick but just one small fault and that is you can't see what you are replying to when you hit New to reply - just a darn great A3 sized message sheet - unless I am doing some thing wrong.

I can see you can add your old hotmail account to a new folder but I am not game to fully go Outlook until I find a way of seeing what I am replying to.

Just wondering if there is any support sites for answers as the intro to Outlook has not much info on it. Oh and one more thing I cannot find a way of attaching it to my taskbar like WLM

.................just one small fault and that is you can't see what you are replying to when you hit New to reply

What about the Reply button next to New ?

Yeah t-4-2 mate just look at my last post you'll see what I mean.
To use reply means sending all that info back to the sender and it is one thing that gets right up my nose is when people do that. So if I send a fairly large mail to a friend then I get back what I have already sent and it is so annoying.

As I said not well thought out or planned by someone up there at Microsoft - you could just put up with the ads but this is a real piece of bad planning and by people I suspect are highly qualified at writing software.

I'm sticking to WLM until they get it sorted if they ever do

Seems like a bit of a shambles to me I am just trying out something with replies.

Whether it will work remains to be seen.

is "@outlook.com" new?

The email address ending...

I like the new outlook.com, it is growing on me. I am simple in that the best part is - after you delete a message, it goes back to list all your other messages instead of automatically opening another message (now I'm wondering if this was some kind of setting in hotmail).

I don't need all the fancy looks of hotmail. I like simplicity, even if it is a tad basic in appearance. I might even upgrade to windows 8 with that deal they are sporting because I imagine it will be faster than 7 on computers.

Although the new Office 2013 hasn't given me enough reason to go out and make such an expensive purchase (I own 2010 already, and think I'll stick with it).

The trial version of 2013 on my other computer has come in handy when using skydrive and live mesh to sync with my first computer. I am impressed with Microsoft, but it seems apple remains always one step ahead.
