I'm using my outlook.com email acct syncing between my iphone 5 native email app and laptop using win live mail client.

I have found that sync is quite slow with changes like read , forwards, reply etc.

Sometimes even the speed of pushed email to my phone is delayed for some time up to 5 or 10 minutes.

I really want to have an email client rather than a web based email on my laptop for many reasons.

I really like win live mail (windows 7), though it is really due for some upgrading to be up to todays standards.

Is there an updated Live Mail in the works?

I sure hope so!!

My experience with Exchange was with gmail before they dropped exchange, and I used it for years, and it was lightning fast to sync my mail, calendar etc.

I have to admit I was quite surprised that Exchange, being a Microsoft product works extremely slow with Outlook.com email (a Microsoft product) compared to Gmail, when they were using exchange.

I don't understand how this could be as you'd think your own products would work together with speed second to none. (puzzling)

If anyone has some answers , I'd sure appreciate knowing what's going on.

Thanks for your time
