Reading the posts on various web pages, it appears this is no longer
possible. I thought WM was an improvement over OE. My mistake. I've not seen any (other than cosmetic) improvements. Functionality appears to have suffered. "Chuck" wrote in message ... Is there a way to show your contacts list in the navigation pane.

That was the original concept, but Windows Mail was abandoned in June, 2006, while Vista was still in beta! -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Oct. 1, 2004 ~ Sept. 30, 2010 Imperial Beach, CA

What's the point? We all use live mail now? Isn't that just a repackaged hotmail? Were is MS headed with that? I guess everyone either pays for MS Office or use Mozilla. If we're going to run Mozilla we might as well use their browser too.

If we're going to run Mozilla we might as well use their browser too. We all use live mail now? On the contrary. On this Windows 7 machine, I am using Thunderbird for mail, and Vista's Windows Mail for news. (Yes, you can hack it in). I even replaced Windows Live Movie Maker with Windows Movie Maker 2.6. I don't like, and do not care to use anything with the "Live" branding. (Much of the reason I'm a former MVP). -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Oct. 1, 2004 ~ Sept. 30, 2010 Imperial Beach, CA

Yes, but I used OE for so long and WinMail is about equal. Plus, I want separate programs for news and mail. To each his own. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Oct. 1, 2004 ~ Sept. 30, 2010 Imperial Beach, CA
