Windows Live Mail

I agree.

I noticed this morning when checking my hotmail, there was
a "Loading" window that had a link "use Basic Version"- it
was a little bit faster. It seems Windows Live Mail continues to
get slower, in spite of the claims when you first login and get the
welcome message that says it is better and faster. It's just not
true.

This is what my WLM says after switching to "Basic Version".
"You’re temporarily using the basic version
This is a simpler version of Windows Live Mail that works better for slower Internet
connections. You’re just trying this version during this sign-in session. To use this version
whenever you sign in, choose the basic version on the Options page."

Windows Live Mail actually works faster using Firefox.

Michael i'm glad i'm not the only one that gets the 'slower connection,
change to basic version option.' The last few days it has been driving me
crazy.
