Windows Live Mail

Any one using Windows Live Mail? I just got link in my Hotmail Inbox. I clicked on that link and they said:

We figure that as a Hotmail user, you know as much as anyone about how an e-mail service should work. That's why we want you to check out Mail Beta, a new version of the service that we're working on. If you accept, you will be among the first to see some very cool new features, and you can tell us exactly what you think of them: what you love, what you hate, and what you'd rather see.

Is that for limited users or everyone can join, find details here:

  • Yeah, I'm using this service... however, a word of caution. Microsoft are steadily adding features to this service, and thus, compatibility with FireFox is not complete yet. So, you have to check you mail through IE if you want any sort of functionality.

    But, overall, it's quite nice. Takes some getting used to, but, in the end, it's all good!
  • Service Unavailable

    We're sorry, but the Mail Beta is currently unavailable. We apologize for this inconvenience and are working to restore service. Please try to log back in soon.

    Anybody there to help me to switch back to hotmail?

  • Yeah, I'm having the same problem... not sure what to do... I guess if you have Outlook Express connection, then, that might be an option?
  • I tried to sign up for it. They say they would send an email within 7 days but I havent heard anything.

    Don't signup otherwise you won't be able to access your mails. :confused:

    I've been receiving the same message all day... it's really pants :(
  • Although, this is one of the disadvantages of using a Beta product... never know when it's gonna go down. I guess they should have an option to switch. It's quite annoying, since I use this account as my primary account... ARGHHHH!
  • Ah but it is only a BETA version!!

    Seems to be working now ladies and gents
  • Yeh i've been using it a while too, but i'm not too fussed about switching between IE and Firefox!

    mr_fishbulb, not everyone will be invited to join the beta, only those that match a certain criteria. As they require more and more people though, they will send out invites! HTH
