Mail 

Everything in one place

Get multiple e-mail accounts in one program – Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo!* and more. And now Windows Live Mail has a calendar, too. Mail combines the ease of use of Outlook Express, with the speed of Windows Live.
Overview
*Requires a Yahoo! Plus account.

Your mail is always there

Say you’re offline, but you need to check the address on a party invite you got the other day. No problem. Older messages and calendar events are accessible in Mail, even when you’re offline. You can compose a reply, and then sync and send messages the next time you reconnect.
Offline access

Safety first

Use Windows Live Mail to help maximize your e-mail security across multiple e-mail accounts. Spam filters help you keep out the junk, and tell you when a message looks suspicious. And when you need to, you can delete a message and block the sender, all in one click.

Managing your time just got easier

Your calendar in Windows Live Mail helps you keep track of all the important stuff you’ve got coming up. It even sends you reminders—in e-mail, on your mobile device*, or in Messenger—you decide.

*You may be charged a fee by your mobile provider to receive messages.

Sync up your calendars

You can edit events in your calendar in Mail, even when you’re offline. When you go online again and sign in the new info appears both in your Mail calendar and on Windows Live at calendar.live.com.

Keep people in the loop

Your time isn’t always your own—there are family and friends who might need to know your schedule. Set up and share calendars on Windows Live at calendar.live.com, then view and edit them in Windows Live Mail. You decide who sees what.

Depending on how your computer is set up, you may see a few security messages before installation begins.
  1. Where you see a company or publisher listed in a security message, make sure the company name is Microsoft Corporation. If so, then it is safe to click Run, Continue, or Allow.
  2. The installer will open. Select the programs you want to install*, and then click Next.
    *Previously installed Windows Live programs will also be updated if you don't have the latest versions installed yet.
  3. Sit back and relax, or do other things on your computer while you wait. Installation shouldn't take more than a few minutes on a broadband connection.
  4. When it's done, you'll find your new programs in the Windows Live folder on the Windows Start menu.

If your installation doesn’t start right away, check the system requirements, or click Try again.
Trying again downloads a standalone installer to your computer. This takes a little while, but may work better, depending on your connection settings.
