Check multiple e-mail accounts easily

I was listening to the Windows Weekly podcast with Paul Thurrott and Leo Laporte while painting the kitchen woodwork a couple of day ago and learned enough about the Windows Live programs to check them out.

Windows Live Mail is probably the most universally useful of the bunch. Like all of the Windows Live programs, it's free and you can get it here. If, like many people, you have more than one e-mail account and find it a hassle to log on to them one at a time to check for e-mail, Windows Live Mail is the/an answer. Just enter the access info for each account and WLM goes out and checks for you on a regular basis, notifying you whenever something pops into one of your inboxes.

Windows Live has a whole bunch of nifty stuff that hardly anyone knows about because the programs are still in the beta testing stage. I'm using one - Windows Live Writer - right now to create this blog post without having to go to Blogger.com and enter my ID and password. Windows Live Writer copies the style from my blog and adds a whole host of WYSIWYG composition features that are unavailable within the Blogger software. And I can post directly from Windows Live Writer to my blog.

You can see the Windows Live Betas here.

Now I have to go paint more woodwork.

YES YES! Windows Live Rocks! Where is Apple's answer? Where is iLive? Anywho, nice to hear someone happy with a MS product.
