Hi have just loaded office 365. I want mo365 outlook to be my default mail. Can I uninstall windows mail to avoid confusion or do I have to live with them both.
Regards
Peter
Hi Peter, If you’re talking about installing Outlook 2013 as part of an Office 365 subscription then it’s best to use Outlook as it has more features and can handle anything Windows Live Mail can do and more.
