In my second email post for today – it looks like you can sign up for the Windows live mail beta – they say you have to wait a couple of weeks to get the invite. Neil had posted a way to get this earlier by hacking some urls in hotmail but that never worked for me so this is probably the next best thing. It will be interesting to see how it compares to gmail which is getting to be my mail client of choice now. It is certainly a lot better than Lotus Notes 6.5 which we have to use for work – that is the worst mail client ever – so many features just don’t work right (sorry Notes readers but it’s true!)

While Windows Live Mail is better than Hotmail, Gmail still beats it in my opinion. You still get lots of advertising and there aren’t things like POP forwarding. It also doesn’t work very well in Firefox yet, but they say they’re working on that.
I love Gmail too! It would have to be pretty darn great to make me switch!
