Microsoft live mail xp

A blast from the past!

Microsoft Live Mail was a free web-based email service provided by Microsoft, which was launched in 2007. It was designed to replace the popular Hotmail service, which was also owned by Microsoft.

Live Mail was available as a web-based application, as well as a desktop client for Windows XP, Vista, and 7. The desktop client was known as Windows Live Mail (WLM).

Here are some key features of Microsoft Live Mail:

Web-based features:

  1. Free email accounts with a @live.com or @hotmail.com address.
  2. Web-based email client with a simple and intuitive interface.
  3. Support for HTML and rich text formatting.
  4. Ability to send and receive attachments.
  5. Integration with other Microsoft services, such as Windows Live Calendar and Windows Live Contacts.

Desktop client features (Windows Live Mail):

  1. A desktop application that allowed users to access their email accounts offline.
  2. Support for multiple email accounts, including POP3 and IMAP.
  3. Advanced email filtering and organization features, such as folders, labels, and search.
  4. Support for contacts and calendar integration.
  5. Ability to send and receive emails with attachments.

Microsoft Live Mail was discontinued in 2012, and users were encouraged to switch to Outlook.com, which is Microsoft's current email service. However, the Windows Live Mail desktop client continued to be supported until 2017, when Microsoft officially ended support for the application.

If you're still using Windows Live Mail, you may want to consider switching to Outlook.com or another email service provider to take advantage of newer features and better security.
