After posting the question re Windows Mail - I woke up and of course found I had recently downloaded Windows Live and subsequently found Windows Live Mail. I transferred all my mail and contacts to this application. Can I now just upgrade to Windows 7 - over my Vista Ultimate - and be assured...
Have been using Windows Mail in Vista Ultimate for a year or so and am surprised to learn that Windows Mail is not included in Windows 7. When you install 7 over Vista (not a clean update) - Will the mail files created by Vista be available (readable) when the installation is complete.
