I have Windows 8.1 and hate the mail app.  I finally got the Outlook.com/Hotmail.com/Live.com web mail configured to get all of my e mail in one place, but I find the web mail very disappointing after being used to the Windows Live Mail program that I had on my Vista Laptop.  I downloaded Windows Live Essentials expecting to get the Windows Live Mail that I knew and loved, but found that it was not the same.  

Is there a way to get the older version of Windows Live Mail that will work on my Windows 8.1 OS??
