Windows Mail is the new e-mail client, a replacement for Outlook Express, which was included in Windows Vista build 5259 (TAP Preview). Microsoft previewed this client on Channel 9 on October 10, 2005 , slightly over a month before it was included in Windows Vista in November.

Windows Mail cannot be used in Windows XP as the email files will be saved in a new file format, and will not be included in the next version Internet Explorer 7.0 for Windows XP.

The same development team that built Windows Mail is also working on Windows Live Mail Desktop, which will serve as both the replacement for Outlook Express for Windows XP, and as an upgraded version of Windows Mail.

Features

Despite the new name, Windows Mail still has the interface of Outlook Express even though the icons were replaced to reflect on Windows Vista's interface. Some interface features have been incorporated from Outlook 2003, including the right-hand "reading pane".

Transactional database allows real-time searching and improves the stability and the reliability of the stored data.
The bayesian junk mail filter and top-level domain and encoding blocking.
A phishing filter, also seen in Internet Explorer 7
, has been incorporated as well, protecting users from web sites that have been identified as being malicious.
Additionally, "Microsoft Help Groups" has been added, which is a pre-configured link to Microsoft's newsgroups. Some additional functionality has been layered on top of the standard newsgroup functionality to have individual threads be marked as a "question" or an "answered question". Postings can be rated as well.
