If you have an exchange server then Outlook is the mail client you need. Live Mail is more to interact with online mail accounts like hotmail.
>>> What does it have to offer over Outlook <--- Even though Live Mail is a decent mail client, I don't think it has any feature that exceeds Outlook. We have Live Mail on our desktop computer and I have Outlook there as well as on my laptop computer. Live Mail has not enticed me to change.
>>> Will people stop buying Outlook <--- Some might, but I expect most to still purchase Office (which includes Outlook).
It is not simple, or cut and dried, but I still view Outlook as the better client overall. .... Thinkpads_User

For me I favour Outlook as it syncs with my iphone.
Im wandering what to advise users if they ask.
Perhaps I should "suck it and see" to determine the difference myself.

Thinkpad user re - "You can run Live Mail on your own machine. If you use the same email account, be certain you Leave Mail on the Server in Live Mail so that you can still retrieve it in Outlook"
I know Outlook has that setting "leave copy on server"
So Live Mail has the same setting?

Yes, Live Mail has the same setting. It is part of the Email Account Properties just like Outlook and in the same spot under the Advanced Tab. .... Thinkpads_User
Thank you. I was pleased to assist you with this. ... Thinkpads_User
