Windows Live Mail (formerly named Windows Live Mail Desktop, code-named Elroy[1]) is an e-mail client from Microsoft's Windows Live set of products. It is intended to be a successor for Outlook Express on Windows XP and Windows Mail on Windows Vista. The Windows Live Mail version numbering starts at 12 because this application is an advancement of Outlook Express/Windows Mail, not an entirely new application. Windows Live Mail is developed by the same team that wrote Windows Mail.
