Hi all!
I have been reading the thread on Windows Mail.

I very recently got a Vista PC and have been trying to figure it out in the 
middle of life... (just normal stuff.. plus spring cleaning and landscaping 
and...and...and.... lol!  Nothing end of the world..like everyone else... just 
busy..  and I am feeling lazy!)

In any case, the Windows thread had me a bit concerned.  I had done some 
research before getting a Vista machine and I 'thought' changing to Windows 
mail was easy and no real changes as far as I was concerned.

Well, due to the thread I have just moved my contacts over to Windows mail and 
it LOOKS like OE.  It seems to ACT like OE.
I can make and send STATIONERY like in OE.  I sent my two daughters-in-law 
Mother's Day cards/stationery.  It worked just fine.  I bcc'd myself, so I know 
I can also receive stationery.

I moved over my accounts from OE to the Vista machine.  All but two went with 
no problem.  Two said their was a problem and to me, it was easy to just type 
in the two accounts.  (I have all my Jerry's accounts on my computer and all of 
his on mine.  This way, if one machine dies...(God forbid...knock on 
wood..knock, knock, knock) we have all the accounts info..besides the email 
backups we do using Express Assistant)

I moved my .WAB (windows address book) over to the Vista Machine.  That seems 
to be working fine.  You can add pics to the address book if you would like to. 
 When you are addressing an email on the TO: line you can still press the box 
to the left and it will bring up the address book.

All in all, I do not see much difference.  So, those of you that were concerned 
about Windows Mail, you can relax now.  Using it seems pretty seamless to me.
Enjoy!
