Recently, the university has been urging students to switch to Windows Live Mail. It's mandatory, actually. The thing is, the contract the university had with the prior e-mail provider is running out this year so they decided to make a deal with Microsoft.
Yeah, that was my first thought too. Administration had gone over to the Dark Side.
Obviously, there are still some glitches in Windows Live Mail. Some big glitches--such as lack of POP3. What kind of e-mail service doesn't have POP3?!! And I can't send off any e-mail unless I access it through a browser. This makes me long for those days when the only way I knew how to send e-mail was through TELNET.
On the other hand, I can read weblog feeds on it. Of course, it's pretty easy already with sites like Bloglines, but for some reason, I never really got into that. Maybe because there was a little too much clicking and scrolling going on.
