windows mail

So I basically lost a weekend because of Windows Vista's replacement for Outlook Express. The replacement is called "Windows Mail".

I thought I'd figured out the steps of how to transfer the mail, contacts and settings on my own. It appeared to work until I tried to send an email, at which point it just froze... boo!

So I ended up buying software to do it: Express Assist 9

It works quite nice except that Windows Mail now takes over an hour to backup & restore my email, when outlook express took less than 10 minutes...

At least I'll finally be able to sleep...
