Smile Vista-Windows mail-very poor
Hi all,

ive just swapped my aging home built P3 500mhz for a new lappy. I'd been searching for a while for the right model with a good spec but not over priced. In the end i bought a Toash A210-12U

see here

£499 john lewis,2 year warranty..very pleased with it..

Anyway to the point,it has windows vista home premium on it. When i came to sort out my email accounts i realised the fatal flaw in MS new crappy mail programme,the replacement for outlook. It doesnt allow multiple identities, or at least not easily. This has been discontinued as a "security" measure.

What rubbish. Why not let the user decide by providing a setting in the software?

Having hacked around for a while i checked out the latest version of the excellent Mozilla Thunderbird. Downloaded,installed,absolutely brilliant,everything that outlook should have been.

Incidentally, i have MS office 2002 and i tried that at first however i noted that incoming html was displayed by default and there seemed to be no tick box to turn it off so i cant use that. Nevermind, with thunderbird,there is no need for anything else.
