Installed now, I see. However the ribbon and stuff I'll never use makes it hard to use (at least for me). For old school users the GUI is simply not intuitive, ribbons just look shiny, that's all what they provide IMO :( I have a rock solid mail environment with an anti-spam pop3 proxy, switching to Live Mail will probably cost me days until I can be sure that I'm as safe as now (without having to run a background AV scanner). When time allows I'll have to find a final solution with or without Live Mail. -- Arno Garrels -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
