I have not been able to find a Win 7 forum yet so will try here.
I have downloaded and installed Win 7 RC 1 (over an up to date Vista}. I am impressed with the way that it appears to be a much faster OS than Vista. However Windows Mail is no longer part of this new OS. I need to be able to access my saved emails and receive them. I tried Mozella Thunderbird but it does not appear to read Windows Email. For the time being I have gone back to Vista from a saved image file. Any suggestions for an email program to use that will read windows mail. Thanks for any help. |

The easiest way to get it to work is to copy the folder from Vista. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...dows-mail.html -- Windows 7 RC http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview http://download.live.com/wlmail "Stu Davis" wrote in message ...

Hey hey Stu-- It's faster and more CPU efficient because it's designed under the hood with a kernel to insure that. Win Mail gone--Win Live Mail can be downloaded to spell it. You said you want to access your saved emails but you kept secret emails from what email client. You can probably import your Vista Win Mail into Win Live Mail if it's on the same box no matter how many HDs. Other than that you can always round up the emails from this mysterious mail client you failed to name, and put 'em on a thumb. Without knowing what saved emails you're talking about it's impossible to help you. Best, CH |

HI, Mike..
Are you the real Mike Brannigan or an imposter? The real Mike is usually not so gruff and includes [MSFT] in his username. Microsoft says they won't create Win7 newsgroups before Win7 goes RTM. But they never said that they WILL create Win7 groups even then. They have created the Forums - which are most certainly NOT the same as NNTP newsgroups. :( It is obvious that Microsoft is trying to kill newsgroups and force us all to use Forums. Many MVPs - including me - are very disappointed in this attitude. To Stu, the OP: These Vista NGs - and the Forums that "Mike" pointed to - are about the best we can do until MSFT decides to improve the situation - IF they ever do. I'm hoping - but I'm not holding my breath. :( Some say (as Dave did in this thread) that it is possible to run WinMail in Win7, but I haven't tried it - and won't, because I like WLMail much better than WinMail, even in Vista. And WLMail is free for the downloading: http://download.live.com/wlmail RC -- R. C.
