Microsoft Live Mail Beta
So I went to check on a referrer that came to beginnercode.com and it took me to an interesting place. To the logon screen of the new Windows Live Mail Beta. Otherwise dubbed code word: Kahuna
According to the myspaceds blog of the hotmail team, it has enhanced security, improved searching, spellcheck as you type, a scrollable message and contact list, resizeable panes, Improved Error Message Discoverability, Easier to send mail when you don’t know email address, Support for browsers other than IE6 & higher, Empty Junk Mail Folder or Deleted Items Folder with one click, and Print Messages.
From the screenshots, it looks like a nice outlook feel to it (for those of us who use Outlook)
I find it interesting that they are using ajax, but I am more pleased about the support for other browsers. Maybe they are recognizing that users who use other software still use Microsoft products, and don’t have to be loyalists?
Looks like the Google heat is definatley pressing the Market. I can’t wait to try this one out for myself. Im looking forward to it.
Comment? Suggestions?
