Windows Live Mail Beta

Posted by Travis Bell on October 22, 2008 in

If you’re interested, you can grab the new beta by visiting the Windows Live blog. The new version of Windows Live Mail doesn’t seem to be any different in rendering our acid test compared to previous versions since most of the changes seem to be part of their Windows Live Suite. This is good news though since Windows Live Mail is actually a very decent mail application and we can only hope the rest of Microsoft’s mail teams are taking notes.

Yes, maybe the mail client is not so good for the acid test.
But for the accessibility / ergonomics it’s so bad.

Right Taneley, we are only testing the html and css rendering aspects, and not making any judgements about it’s capabilities as an email client in general.

Windows Live Mail is actually a very good mail application, but I think that Gmail much better

Looks neat; but wonder if there is something exciting and something that really makes it stand out from others. Lets test and see.
