Hi folks. When I was using Windows XP outlook express worked fine it would tell me when I had new mail when you went over each message it said unread message, also it would tell me when I had an attachment neither happens in Windows Live mail now. Sure it tells you you have so many new messages but I think that is important as is the knowing you have attachments without having to look for them. Again fix what is broken don't make all kinds of new stuff that may come in handy. Anthony
