Microsoft Building New Free Mail Client

Internet Explorer isn’t the only application to enjoy a resurgence in Windows Vista — Microsoft is readying a new desktop e-mail client that will be integrated into Windows Live and eventually replace Outlook Express. Dubbed Windows Live Mail Desktop, the product is currently in beta testing. As IE development stagnated following the release of Windows XP, Outlook Express — Microsoft’s free e-mail client — suffered a similar fate. But the OE team returned to update the product for Vista under the name Windows Mail, and is now expanding that work with a completely separate application.

    By that time I wonder how many folks will still be using Outlook Express for anything? I have one friend who uses POP mail but everyone else I know uses Gmail Yahoo or their ISP’s webmail interfaces.
