Windows Mail is a different application, and it only runs on Windows Vista.
Microsoft have already told users of Outlook Express that they will no longer
be supported. Their only upgrade path within the MS space is to upgrade their
whole OS to Vista so that they can get Windows Mail (I'm not counting Live
Mail, as it's a Web app).
It sounds like a bit much to have to upgrade your whole OS just to get a new
mail client.
The obvious solution is to move to Thunderbird instead :)
