I just recently moved to broadband so I could use my laptop (Windows 7).  I still have my desktop connected to the web via dial-up.  My desk top is XP and Outlook Express.

I just added Windows Live Email to my laptop and have one email address (hotmail) in use there.  I hope to add my main email address to the list of acccounts, but expect that I will need help from my ISP to get the server address for input/output.

The only issue I'm concerned about is that it seems that I cannot download the emails to my computer (as I do with Outlook Express on my desktop.)  I realize that I can store the emails with the server, but there are size limitations and I like the concept of having the emails on my computer.

Does anyone else use Windows Live Email?  Are you happy with it?  Any issues that I should look out for?   Do you use it to manage the additional emails you need for doing offers?

I use it but have the same emails for both windows live and outlook. No issues with either, couldn't pick one over the other as they both do what I need.

Are you using Windows 7 and Windows Live email?  Can you download your emails to your PC (like you can with OE?)  or do you only use the storage on the server to save emails (long term)?
