Windows 7 - windows mail

[Brengirl]

I have a new Windows 7 laptop and was advised to ditch my old BT Yahoo in favour of Windows Mail. Although I seldom get mail from friends I used to get some mail of interest to me. I absolutely hate this new format.
I do accept that I am a bit thick but did so hope I wasn't a complete plank.

What is your opinion of it?

There's no reason why you can't keep your old email. Like Hotmail Yahoo is accessible from any computer.

Thanks Rusty, but I was lead to believe that Windows Mail was the way to go For me it is certainly not all singing and dancing and just wondered if I was missing something.

Nope. Use whoever you like, and read them on the net, instead of downloading it all and clogging up your machine. I use BT Internet, Yahoo and G Mail, and only save or download anything I want to keep. The rest of it stays accessible anyway.

Stick with what you know, I haven't bothered with it either Bren.

I prefer Fastmail myself, it filters out so much of the junk and spam that you get with Hotmail and Yahoo

The only "but" is that it's no good for large files or huge photos
