Thread: OMG, imagine...

Oh well, cool. I was remembering setting up gmail for a customer once time & had to go to the gmail web site & enable something. But, good for you.

I do not use the Metro mail. I guess I do not like most of the Metro apps. I have selected to ALWAYS use the desktop IE 10. I suppose at some point in time I will choose to try some of the Metro apps. Perhaps I'm getting too old or set in my ways. I do use WLM and have it set up on my desktop. I have it set to access the same files my Win 7 WLM accesses on my data partition. I know many don't like WLM but I do.

I am getting acclimated to not having the Start Orb. I can access most of the functions rather quickly by other means. System tools is accessed by Win Key + X (thanks Drew), my apps from a Shortcuts folder pinned to my Taskbar (Been doing this for years), Control Panel icon on Desktop, etc.

I was able to easily set up my 3 email accounts (Road Runner default, Hotmail and GMail) in WLM with no problems. I may try then in the Metro email but I do not see a need at this time except to try it so who knows.

Well that's enough this fine early morning.

HI Ted,

There is nothing wrong w/ WLM, @ all. No biggie about using (any) Apps or not... the Calendar one is ok, though... handy, clear & reminders come to Inbox.

Cheers,
Drew

I tried to set the Mail app up. Hotmail and Google were fine, but I could not figure a way out to add another account, so I could not add my ISP account (Road Runner). What a bummer. I realize this is a beta, but that would be a downer because the Road Runner is my default.

Can u do it in WLM?

Oh yea. No problem at all. I did read that most of the Metro apps are "blunted" or something like that and that MS is working furiously to finish them over the next few months. I guess I'm an old foggy and like the WLM interface better than the Metro mail UI. It took me a while when the switch happened from OE to WM to WLM so I guess I will be able to make yet another switch, but I'm not sure I want to.

Yes, the OS is well along but many of the Apps are rough & or unfinished. & certainly, none of that Metro stuff is obligatory to use, @ all.

Subject change... did you see how or where I end up w/ the Shutdown/Restart buttons?

Yes, mine are almost identically placed. Don't want to post the screen shot again. I posted my latest shot here. Glad the Restart is working for you as well.
