Windows Live Mail is an innovative webmail system that allows you to access multiple e-mail accounts from one place. This desktop application lets you access IMAP, POP and Windows Live Hotmail accounts, Windows Live Messenger, your blog and RSS news feeds. Windows Live Mail offers effective spam and phishing filters, quick search, and a few search folders. However, a few things could be improved, since you cannot organize your mail using labels or reply with templates. A great advantage is that Windows Live Mail imports your Windows Live Hotmail and Messenger address book, so you save a lot of time. Moreover, the program blocks remote content by default, and you can choose to read all mail as plain text. Its simple user interface allows you drag, drop, and organize your mail with one click. With this excellent e-mail client you can preview messages in the Reading Pane and create and edit photo e-mails in a few seconds. All these features make Windows Live Mail the faster, easier, and safer way to manage your e-mail accounts.

Windows Live Mail is the best ever! It allows the users to do a variety of functions that are not available on any other email program I have seen with user experience. I LOVE IT, so to speak. The program is common sense and versatile, reliable.

I have a new Windows 10 desktop. The desktop did not come with Windows Live Mail. Is there a potential problem installing it?
