Windows Live update

Microsoft have updated my email to Windows Live 2011 and I hate it! Is there any way of getting rid of this and reverting to the 'old' one, or should I just do a System Restore....and will I manage to save my contacts address?
Not very computer savvy, sorry!
Normal people worry me.

  • You can save your emails and contacts in the mail program (under export)

    It's probably a good idea to do a backup anyway before a rollback :)
  • If it is just the appearance of Mail 2011 that you don't like, you can configure it to suit. :)
    The main change in appearance seems to be the grouping of emails which can be changed by turning Conversations off under the view tab.
    Also the addition of the Calender pane on the right which can be turned off under the view tab.
  • Many thanks Sparky, that's improved things. However, on the old one I could click on to my contacts to forward emails, now I can't seem to find it! Any help? Sorry for being (probably) a bit thick!

    Make sure you are on the 'Home 'Tab

    Then it should be in the 'Respond ' box (top left )
    Without the rain you wouldn't have the rainbows !

    I came into this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left!
  • No....made sure I was on the "Home" tab, but no "Respond" button top left (or anywhere else that I can see). I can do "Reply" and "New Message" but still can't find my Contact addresses anywhere. Is is something I'm doing wrong, something that I'm not doing at all, or something that just ain't bl**dy there?! (Fed up now).
    Thanks for taking the time to reply anyway...sob.:cry:
