Default Outlook Express in Vista?

Would someone running the current beta tell me what changes if any have been
made to Outlook Express?
TIA

Default Re: Outlook Express in Vista?

Outlook Express has been renamed Windows Mail. Noticeable of course and I
have to say one of the best features is the Word Wheel, this makes filtering
through and finding e-mail messages or newsgroup post so much easier.
Windows Mail also takes advantage of the Anti-Phishing capabilities of
included in Internet Explorer. So, you don't end up giving personal
information to sites that claim to be legitimate such as the buying copies
of Norton or your Pay pal account has expired.

Just pres CTRL + E and the cursor places it self in the search box in the
upper right hand, this also applies to Explorer windows. Other features that
users might find of great interest includes the new Mail Store, the use of
..dbx has now ended. This will remove the frustrations that users have
encountered for many releases of Outlook Express when it came to backing up
Mail settings and accounts, simply back up the folder and import on another
Vista computer running Windows Mail and you are all done.
There presently is no support for certain free hotmail accounts in this
release of Windows Mail, I still believe there could be more done to the
user experience in Windows Mail, such as subscribing to multiple newsgroups,
I would have liked to simply check off the groups I am interested in and
click subscriber instead of doing it one by one.

First and foremost, it's not called Outlook Express anymore. It's called
Windows Mail.

Have they now implemented an option to show the e-mail address(es) near
the real name(s) ? For me this was the main reason for not using
Outlook Express.

Not in the Message List, but Yes in the Preview Pane or an open message.
