Is there an email client that works on 64-bit server for Hotmail? Windows Mail doesn't support http mail. Live Mail doesn't run on server.

Also, is there a Messenger Client? Live Messenger doesn't run on server either.

You need to use version 8.1.

Version 8.1 of what and where do I find it?

Should we assume you are looking for a free client? Outlook works fine for me for accessing my hotmail account. tgc

Thanks everyone. What I hear is that: There is no (free) clientfor hotmail that is supported on server; neither Live Mail nor Windows Mail are supported. The new versions of Live Messengerare not supported on server, but you can run an older version for now. Whyare neither Live Mail nor Live Messenger supported on server in current versions?

Why no Live client support on Windows Server? My guess would be that the products listed, Mail and Messenger, are focused at the consumer marketplace more than the business market. Windows Server is an Enterprise Server product, and the vast majority of installations will not include a mail, even a corporate mail client, Since support implies lots and lots of testing, my guess is that it didn't make sense for the Server team to test niche consumer products. I'm not saying it wouldn't be nice to have something like that, but it definitely is not what would be considered a mainstream use of Windows Server. tgc

In scenarios where I implemented Terminal Services this included a complete installation of Microsoft Office, (including the corporate mail client, named Microsoft Office Outlook) Line of Business applications andsometimes even consumer products likeGoogle Maps (real estate agents really dig this!)
