Bryan Starbuck, the development lead for Outlook Express, has revealed on his
blog that the app will be renamed to Windows Mail. As always these days, combating spam is top priority and its received a lot of attention. Thankfully, there are going to be a lot of functionality enhancements too, as there's a new "search as you type" feature, and mail will be indexed as individual messages which will play a lot nicer with searching from outside the app.
I found a 45 minute interview with Bryan at
Channel 9 on some of the intricacies of Windows Mail, and check out
Bryan's blog at MSN Spaces for yet more info on Windows Mail getting all growed up.
