I'd rather use and look at this. Windows 8 Mail app is awesome IMO.

its been a while i know , but that does look nice , i use win live mail because im use to it ,
I use Live Mail on my 7 side, but Ok. To each their own. Most of the world lives in free States. Very few monarchies left to rule. Nazism is hopefully dying out. Communism also. I'm sure you get my gist.
Personally the Modern mail app sucked as did most others back in the RP days. That's where I started using 8. Two editions later and with multiple app and OS updates they are getting to be much better with stability and added options. LOL! I remember writing an important long email draft back in the RP days that disappeared on me that made my blood boil! Ugh! Where did it go?!! I'm sure everyone knows the feeling.
I learned through the years not to trust new OSs or even new programs and now Modern apps. That's why I dual boot for a time until they work the kinks out. I continue to run my business on my 7 side, but I find myself more nowadays on my 8 side and increasingly learning that. I'll admit that 8 is a bigger learning curve, especially learning the Modern apps, than past OSs, but not as much as I think people make it out to be.
Another big factor for me is that I need to invest into updating my Office 2000 Pro and some construction estimating programs. I'll have to shell out some big bucks, but rightfully so. It's about time. They served me well. That'll all go on my 8 side of course. When that happens, along with my increasing confidence of my OEM 8 Pro final fresh install, my 7 will be deleted. I'm estimating mid summer.
Also keep in mind that 8 rocks on my older Acer more so than 7. It's like a new machine. So now there's no need for me to shell out bucks for a new one.
Anywho, back to the Modern apps. I've honestly been patient and persevered with them in attempting to learn and use them. As I mentioned, they are increasingly more stable and options are added with updates. Personally I'm finding them to be more resourceful, quicker to open, eye pleasing, and easier to use. But, hey, that's me. My main apps are Windows Mail, People app, Calendar app, and the Photo app. They're all tied together and meshed more so than programs in 7. I can see where MS is heading with this system. Into their cloud as most of them are attracting us to. There was some of this in 7, but more so in 8. I find it very convenient to sign into my 8 with my MS account. I'm automatically signed into all. One can use as much of the cloud as one desires. It continues to be a choice.
