    Anyone using this as their e-mail client? The screen shoot looks nice.

    Does it make things easier, or is it just another integrated with everything mess?

    I use it on a regular basis. Nice really. Actually it uses Outlook Express behind the scenes for E-Mail (u can see the similarities in some dialog boxes), and IE7 for RSS feeds but functions better. I don't have the latest version installed, so maybe things have changed. Hopefully I'll stop being lazy and update it :)

    I have been using it for the past 8-9 months & it is pretty good email client if you have a hotmail/msn account as your primary email. The positives are what booboo mentioned plus you get better junk mail controls & updated interface compared to Outlook express. The cons being it is ad supported and ofcourse still in Beta.

    The junk mail controls are excellent.
