Description
Windows Live Mail is a free email program from Microsoft. It comes with the free Windows Live Essential products, including Windows Live Messenger. If you used to use Outlook Express on Windows XP or Windows Mail on Vista, Windows Live Mail is the successor. Windows Live Mail is the fourth version of the program to be released. The new features make it perfect for the home user, but also make it an excellent choice for small businesses that are looking for the features without the cost.
This course was created to introduce you to Windows Live Mail and acquaint current users with the new interface. Because it's a free program, the help you'll find on the Internet is scarce.
