Can somebody confirm that Version 14.0. 8117.0416 is the last version
that is not broken and can be safely used on Windows 8 RTM 64Bit
machine. I had to recover my Toshiba machine which had Windows 8.1 free
upgrade but it was crashing all the time so I decided to recover it and
see if it works this time otherwise I'll have to return it for a
replacement.

I was helping my grandmother trying to set up Windows Live Mail so she
could use the Kodak printer's email scanned document feature.

Eventually, I gave up and resorted to TB.

My version is 2012 (Build 16.4.3522.0110) and it works fine on Win 8.1.

By "not broken" might mean the OP wants WLM to properly quote when
replying to newsgroup posts. That was broke in version 15. Could be
the OP meant some other "broken" functionality but didn't bother to
divulge it to us which means we haven't a clue what the OP think is
"broken".

I know that when you have an old OS that Microsoft won't let you
retrieve a newer version of Windows Essentials, including any component
of it, like Window Live Mail. As I recall, it also limits the minimal
version you can install. That is, if you're running Win7 then you get
the latest version from Microsoft so that would be the same for Win8.

The OP wants to install the old version 14 of WLM which is "not broke".
I think all you get from Microsoft is a web installer; i.e., when you
download Windows Essentials, you don't get Windows Essentials (or the
components you picked) but instead get a small installer that does the
component downloads and then installs those. Do you know where the OP
can get the FULL installer for WLM version 14?

Why not take the oppportunity to get away from WLM abnd use a real
e-mail program? All versions of WLM are broken, as was OE before it -
just ditch it and use *anything* else. Thunderbird is easiest, Claws
mail is quite good too.

I a wondering how she is coping with Thunderbird constant freeze ups? I
was playing with older backup copies from 2007. And I saw no freezing
with Thunderbird v1.5.0.8. So I wonder what version TB started freezing?
I know it is there in v12 too.

Funny, my TB, which is *always* up-to-date, has never froze. And I use
TB with 12 email accounts. I don't use TB for newsgroups, preferring to
keep things separate and using Seamonkey.

I still use that version on Win8.1, and it works better than any of the
newer versions for me. If you check Winston's post, you'll see links to
download it, if you don't already have the full install file.

Since 24.3.0 is the current version, the best bet would be to leave all
ancient versions alone and use that. However, I don't know what you were
doing wrong, but I have never had any freezing with any version of
Thunderbird from its inception many years ago.

You are posting here with Tb.

I think (assumed) the form of 'broken' which the OP refers is the
unacceptable condition of newer versions of WLM to serve as a newsreader
for posting, as they don't provide quote levels.

The 2009 version quoted but the 2011 v. did not.

Same here. I've been using Thunderbird for email since version 0.2 and
have never experienced any "freeze ups." I have 15 email accounts, and
three news accounts.

It's most likely just another BillW50 self-inflicted individual problem.
Others need not worry.

Hi, Bill.

Are you talking about a dead in its tracks freeze, or the temp hang up
it occasionally has, but recovers from? I get the 2nd one, but never
the first.

But I have long list of things that are buggy, but haven't forked over
the $$ to get Office for Mac and return to Outlook.

Mmmm.... You say your WLM is working fine and yet you post with TB.
Should we believe you. (Not)

As I just asked BillW50 in another post, what does he mean by freezing.
Permanent, or temp?

The temp freezing, i.e. it simply stops responding for a few seconds,
and then resumes, is real. There's a recent thread about this In the
Mozilla Thunderbird newsgroup.
