I like Live Mail and I usually install it via a web installer,however I just did a clean Win 10 install (Creators Update) and it kept failing to install.I eventually tracked down a full installer (130 mb) and that still fails to install. I'm guessing that M$ have somehow blocked the installation? Can anyone confirm this? If so I'm going to have to go back to Thunderbird.

No longer available. Be careful finding it elsewhere, you can get tricked into installing some malware.
Tbird isn't bad though.

That's annoying,thanks Raw.

I had 4 e-mail accounts that all worked perfectly in Live Mail and for some reason I can't get 1 of them to work in Thunderbird no matter what settings I use. I tried to use Mail but it just wouldn't set up one of my accounts at all.

At the moment I'm having to use the web-mail feature to check all 4 accounts,which means 3 different web pages.

Yup,I really liked Thunderbird when I was using it previously,especially in conjunction with MozBackup.

Damn you M$! *shakes fist*

The replacement Mail App is basically the same thing. It is included with Windows.

Ok,I just decided to try Mail again and this time it took all 4 e-mail accounts,although it's having problems retrieving mail on one of them. I'll see if I can resolve it although tbh I don't like the look of Mail but that's just a personal thing.If it works I'm happy.

Thx to Raw and Bib.

*edit* Sorted out and working smile

Well that's good!
I've gotten where I prefer Tbird, even though I have Outlook, but sometimes in setup it's retrieved the wrong ports to use and had to be double checked.

I'm not liking how Mail handles spam,in fact I don't think it can.I have the option to 'mark' an e-mail but that's it.

I really don't understand why they had to ditch Live Mail and give us this POS instead? I'm regretting doing a clean Creator's installation right now. I do have a 'clean install' Win 10 backup I made a few months ago,I'm considering going back to that and then doing the Creator update over that so I can retain Live Mail.

Progress? I think not frown
