How do you check your email?

Outlook is to (any web)mail as Excel is to Calculator.

I like that analogy. Mind if I use it?

I use the hybrid though. I have a WLM account as well as other POP accounts and use Outlook with Outlook Connector to access all of them.

Ok so, I'm trying out WLM. I've got two questions.

1. I want WLM to minimize to the windows 7 system tray when i close it so that it's continuously running but not on my taskbar. and I can just go to system tray whenever I hear the got new Email sound.


2. I have outlook. I am using windows live mail. Which is better or how are they different so I can decide which to use.

You can use Outlook with the Outlook Connector and get both.

why, on the interwebs of course .
i dont trust my computer enough to let it download all my "make your **** enormous" flyers, and my tri-annual myspace comments.

i really dont get much mail, that i actually check it, but once a month maybe :P

Yes you can define an account manually and check your live.com email.

Can you sync your Live mail and contacts regardless of where the WLM mail and contacts are updated/modified? I.E. from your desktop/laptop Outlook, from any desktop with internet access and from your Blackberry?

P.S. Calendar as well, but I am not as familiar with that component.


Edit: I used to walk 5 miles to school, barefoot, in the winter snow, uphill... both ways. I just choose not to do it anymore.

Web based mail all the way....

Just 0utlook for me
