Do use Outlook Express or Windows Live Mail
Windows Live Mail Beta offers similar features, plus some great new ones—like free access to Windows Live Hotmail and integration with other Windows Live services. The mail feature I find is that it is not saving mails to a single file ( DBX) the mails are saving to a folder as separate files (EML) . so the loading will be more faster than OE. OE is replaced with Windows live mail in Window vista. I getting a lot of dbx crash issues from my client users.

Bug Fixes!
As usual, most of our other changes in this build will come to you in the form of bug fixes. Since our last Beta build, we’ve not only included feature updates like the ones listed above – but we’ve also fixed hundreds of bugs within the product.
It would be impossible to list all these fixes out individually, so I’m just going to point out the ones that we got the most customer feedback on…
• 1) Sound notification with new email: This was probably one of our most requested fixes – so hopefully you all will be happy to hear (literally ;-) that the fix for sound notification when you get new mail is now in the builds.
• 2) APOP fix: With our previous build, we were a little too aggressive in the way we determined whether or not a customer’s account was enabled for APOP. Because of this, some of you weren’t able to check mail on some of your POP accounts. With this build, using APOP is dependent on a user setting.
• 3) Messages getting stuck in the Outbox: Lots of customers ran into an issue where messages would get stuck in the Outbox (among other folders), which could block you from being able to send and receive messages in certain situations. A fix for this issue is now in the build, so you should no longer run into this problem.
• 4) Quoted-Printable updates: We have improved the way we handle the quoted-printable encoded Plain Text messages when replying and forwarding to mail. Most notably, we now clearly indicate which portions of the mail should be quoted with the appropriate character (‘<’). How to retrieve a deleted file ?
You can retrieve your file which you delete from recycle bin. But if you press “shift delete” How you get it back ?
You can use PC Inspector File Recovery to recover your files. But you must have administrative privileges.
