"Good but had issues in Vista 64 Bit"
Pros: I liked the mail program it was much better then Hotmail access through IE
Cons: Had problems with Vista 64 unexpectedly quiting when it hibernated with Live Mail open.
Summary: Did not really use any of the other programs like Messenger . Live Mail works OK on my Dell with 32 Bit Vista Premium. But had issues in the Vista 64 Bit version. read more
