You're referring to "live mail"!
Live Mail is a discontinued email client developed by Microsoft, which was first released in 2007 as a replacement for Outlook Express. It was designed to be a more modern and feature-rich alternative to traditional email clients.
Some of the key features of Live Mail included:
- Integration with Windows Live services: Live Mail allowed users to access their Windows Live Hotmail accounts, as well as other email accounts, from a single interface.
- Threaded conversations: Live Mail organized emails into threaded conversations, making it easier to follow discussions and replies.
- Advanced search capabilities: Live Mail included a powerful search engine that allowed users to quickly find specific emails using keywords, sender, recipient, and other criteria.
- Customizable layout: Users could customize the layout of the email client to suit their preferences, including the ability to add or remove columns and change the font size.
- Support for multiple accounts: Live Mail allowed users to manage multiple email accounts from a single interface, including POP3, IMAP, and Exchange accounts.
Although Live Mail was discontinued in 2012, it remains a popular email client among some users due to its ease of use and feature set. However, Microsoft has since replaced Live Mail with newer email clients, such as Outlook and Outlook.com.
