Benefits of using Windows Mail

Few years back, I used to have only one email account and using Outlook was nonsense for me that time. Now I have more than a couple of email accounts and I have a problem in monitoring it.

Good thing I found Windows Mail.

Windows Mail is an e-mail and newsgroup client included in Windows Vista that was superseded by Windows Live Mail. It is the successor to Outlook Express. Microsoft previewed Windows Mail on Channel 9 on October 10, 2005.

Unlike Outlook Express, Windows Mail is not considered to be a component of Internet Explorer. As such, it will not be made available for earlier Windows operating systems, while Windows Internet Explorer 7 was made available for Windows XP. – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Mail

I would like to share why I like Windows Mail:

Reading emails in one window

If you have a lot of email accounts and you want to monitor all emails coming from different accounts in one window, this application is for you. It is very easy to organize your emails by using folders and you can reply emails without logging into your web-based email account one by one.

If you want to read in offline mode

Have you experienced trying to get the cell phone number of your client in your email but found out that there is no internet connection and you can not open your email? One of the best things you can get from using this application is that you can read your emails again even if you do not have an internet connection. All your emails will be saved in your computer so you can re-open it anytime you want.

Organize your email and files

Another good reason why I like to use this application is because all the attachments are there together with the email. I do not have to download it and save it in a folder. The hassle of downloading it from your web-based email and saving it in your hard drive is that you will lose track of the file because the email that comes with it is separated from the file. With Windows Mail, you have the file and you have the email in one place.

Back up emails

Whether you will consider your emails in Windows Mail as your back up or the one in your web-based mail, it doesn’t matter. Bottom line is that you have a back up of your emails.

Contacts in one place

There are times you want to get a contact from one account and use it in your other account. You won’t be bothered anymore by shifting from one account to the other because everything is in one place.

There are a few other benefits in using Windows Mail for you to find out. Each of us has different preferences but I bet you will like this application.
