WLMD - Download your @nomoa.com messages
I've been a @gmail user since I could get an invite. The main reason for moving there, was simply to get an International email address that I can travel with, but more importantly an email address that I can send/recieve messages using a desktop client.
I've used a bunch of different desktop clients, notably: Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird, and now Windows Mail (with Vista) and Windows Live Mail Desktop (Beta).
The Big News.
Windows Live Mail Desktop (Beta) together with a registered Windows Live ID now lets you download your @hotmail.com and your @nomoa.com mail messages.
As I understood it, you previously could only download your @hotmail.com messages if you had signed up as a paying customer with Microsoft Hotmail. Fine. Unfortunately, there was no chance in Hell of living through the webmail from Tonga. It's slow enough, no one needs the additional pain. So, after using samiuela@hotmail.com as my primary "international" email address, it got dumped quickly when Google offered gmail which let me download my mail messages to my desktop.
With WLMD, and a registered (join the Beta @ http://ideas.live.com) you can get that same work on my desktop. I can now read my samt@nomoa.com mail messages without logging onto the web (which is why some people used to get very slow responses from that account.)
WLMD allows checking email from Google GMail as well, so the benefits of both worlds.
I only wish that WLMD would have allowed all incoming mail to go to a single INBOX and sort out (without my hand holding) which account to use for responses by itself.
Get Connected.
To try out Microsoft's new Widows Live Mail Beta, just head over to http://idea.live.com and sign in with your @nomoa.com email account, or sign in with any of your @hotmail.com accounts.
If you haven't got your @nomoa.com, please visit the e-mail registration site, and create a free account.
This will let you Sign-Up and Download WLMD.
If you have any problems, email me. Ha!!! I can get / read your mail now, so don't run away. Remember, check your mail by going to http://mal.live.com or sign-up now.
