I’ve got a new computer, a Windows 7 laptop. It has Windows Live Mail program which I have begun using; thanks for putting up simple instructions for beginners like us. But I certainly miss my old Windows Mail software. Is there a way Windows Live Mail can be made to look like Windows Mail?

Thanks. I could change the view on incoming mail to be the same as Windows Mail. Windows Mail would list all the incoming mail showing Sender, subject and date. You could delete or read without scrolling through the mail. I’ve got it now in Windows Live Mail.
