Windows Mail (predecessor of: Outlook Express, Windows Live Mail) – a free and intuitive e-mail client from Microsoft.
The application lets you receive and send electronic messages in a very simple and fast way. Windows Mail has been equipped with an anti-spam and anti-phishing filter, which keep junk messages out and ensure protection against phishing attempts.
