Windows Live Mail

[Former Member]

Hello,

Our organization is looking to upgrade our Windows 10. Can we still use Outlook Express with the new version of Windows?

Do PB 12.5 / PB 12.6 will support Windows Live Mail?

I would appreciate your help.

Thanks

Hi Yasir;

  I severely doubt it as PB still implements only basic MAPI  and not extended MAPI or better yet SMTP. MS has added a lot of Anti-Spam checking in Live Mail and thus, any basic MAPI "mail send" will keep prompting the application user for a Spamming condition.

  FWIW: I would switch your PB application over to using SMTP

FYI:  Topwiz Software - EmailSMTP

Thank you Chris. I will give that a try.

My SMTP object is a good replacement for MAPI email. It communicates directly with your mail server so no email client is required.

If you are wondering about a good email client to replace Outlook Express, try OE Classic - Easy to use Outlook Express replacement.

It is an Outlook Express clone that only costs $25 and runs on any version of Windows.
