Title: Microsoft RETARDS, wtf were theyt hinking with windows mail ?
Post by: knighty on January 11, 2008, 23:50:54 PM
in vista, "windows mail" repleces outlook express....

whish is fine... its a nice program, its just OE with a few anti spam options etc....

BUT...

you cant have your contacts list shown on the bottom left like before !

how dumb is that... every time you want to email someone you have to open up the contacts window then dubble click them.

I quite like vista appart from this... Im strugerling with printer and gfx drivers.. but Im cool with that, its no biggie... I can wait for those....

but wtf? no contacts list?  screw that :s

You can type an individual name in the start menu search and the e-mail address shows up in the communications area
OR
You can add a gadget contacts list to your gadgets bar

Cant you just type their name in the To: field of the email and it picks it up like in OE?

E.g:

yeah i could do all of that stuff.... use a different program, add my contacts into the bar thing on the left... tho disabling that was one of the first things I did... was a waste of space.. could even type the first name in etc....

but I licked clicking on peoples names god damn it !
