Outlook Express to become “Windows Mail”
In the next version of Windows, known as “Vista”, Outlook Express is set to become “Windows Mail”.
It will feature advanced spam-handling abilities and better search capabilities with a “search as you type” function. Windows Mail will also have a new way of storing emails as individual files and a new database for indexing them, which will make searching emails outside Windows Mail itself easier. Sounds just like the sort of things one would want in an email client!
Microsoft has released a 46 minute video about Windows Mail. You can watch it here 
(and read about it on the blog of the development team head, Bryan Starbuck).
