New Windows Live Mail Build M8 | |
|
||
| Time: 07:54 EST/12:54 GMT | News Source: LiveSide | Posted By: Brian Kvalheim | ||
Today's Live Mail update features numerous UI and userability enhancements, but currently is only available to users on selected server bays. The update also includes:
Some of you may remember that the previous updates have not been the smoothest, so now they will be rolling out the new features to all users over several weeks. Pictures tell a thousand words, so check out the update for yourself. As always, if you want to experience the update yourself, you can change the url of your Live Mail account to use bay 117 (http://by117w.bay117.mail.live.com). One thing I've noticed for free accounts is that the Flare header is slightly obscured due to the banner advertising, something you probably won't see in the PR or marketing pictures when Mail finally launches. | ||

| I got one word for you - 'Piece of crap' |

| If this is a piece of crap, than gmail is 3 pieces of crap. |

Why is it a piece of crap? I have played around with it and I find it to be pretty good. I agree it is way better then gmail for sure. Plus seeing that it is still in beta there are bound to be some issues to work out. |

| So far I like the new Live Mail, but any objective person would agree that Yahoo Mail is *far* superior to Live Mail and Gmail. |

RMD,
Yeah, that's an easy one. One of the industry rags I read picked Yahoo Mail Beta as it's top pick i nthe category as well. |

I must say that this new version is MUCH better and faster, happy with it.
Gmail is not really good. Boring, plain, sometimes have problems to load. The new Yahoo Mail BETA is really good, is something like this new Windows Mail Live. |

give me a RICH email prog ANY day over WL Mail or Gmail. Currently, I'm digging WL Mail DESKTOP.
As for WL Mail, the web site. I think its a big improvement. And puts gmail's clutter (chat and rss feeds unnecessarily added) to shame. |

Nothing satisfies customers more than a Unified Communications system and clients that combine all forms of messaging and communications within one client.
If any one word defines what customers want in this area, it is, "more." - more integration, more features and certainly, unlimited space where 15 plus Gigabytes is the norm. We've been busting tail for nearly a decade, integrating and adding features and capacity in this regard, which on the surface appear to obviate all we have done; however, newer issues of compliance, rights management and integration with a distributed desktop have given us new opportunities. As a platform, a hosted exchange and the many servers one can integrate to it to provide for any form of communication is a base from which none of can turn away from. We are so spoiled - ourselves and our customers. If we nailed any area, unified communications is it. Few people fully realize how powerful and agile people in our industry can make other people. It's intoxicating - to see the changes in people's lives it makes. #8 Is right - nothing beats a full client, expect one that is as light as a feather and totally integrated to every other server, or process in an organization. Unified Communications is going to be among the true growth areas in our industry - but it is going to be so subtle - just as it should be. All forms of video, voice, data and reporting information combined in one environment that moves with the person and is agnostic as to platform - desktop, hand held, 2 foot, 10 foot, or in the air all around the user. It has to deliver "Relevant" information and business product - e.g., rich, visual information products that are pushed to clients - all of this is possible and it is what we do as the core of our business services model. Messaging clients and servers have so much more potential than support of email and calendaring - they have the potential to deliver "Finalized Intelligence Product" - information products that are the aggregate result of many different, and seemingly dissimilar processes, people and groups. A big part of me sweats it when Microsoft, or IBM begin to swing huge resources in this direction - as big as they are, they could appear to offer a similar set of services via an online service. I say appear, because there is one piece that they will never get - requirements management and collection management. That is, what collection and what processing are to be combined to produce what dissemination... of that finalized product? No online service can do that and it is that part that makes people and businesses powerful and agile. The problem can be that people will not see that - if they focus only on price. At the rate CFO's and controllers churn through the SMB market, people like me will always have to deal with some mid-grade accountant looking to make his mark - by killing one line item on a P&L by spreading it and hiding it among 30 others. The really important thing for guys on this site to remember is that any one of us can do this better than online messaging can - the customer can do better, too. The tools are inexpensive and more powerful than most imagine. With a little effort, deep distinctions that combine to give real advantages to customers are in easy reach of admins and devs. |
