Yeah, I find live mail to be simple and seems to work great. Plus I love the fact that when I click links in programs to send an email this one handles it properly. I have tried other email clients with it set as my default email program, but I found it did not always open with it when clicking an email link. Where for me, this one works in everything. I would expect that, as its made by Microsoft. I also use their windows live (windows essentials) photo gallery and movie maker. Works great, never had a problem. It is a lot better then the built in photo viewer. Might want to install those as well.
I am glad this is working for you.
I recommend vising this
link to make sure you have everything set up properly. To make sure your email has the right server settings, type in Google the name of your provider followed by windows live mail set up. This usually will bring up a guide from your email provider of the server settings you need to configure for it to work best. For example, Lets say I had a yahoo account. I type in Google search yahoo server settings for mail client or yahoo for windows live mail.
This usually will bring an article telling you how to configure mail properly. The server settings are very important, so make sure these are correct.
