Allow us to ungroup open files from the same app.

Less choices means bad or difficult things to some ppl!

After spending many many hours on trying different email apps/progs on W8.1 PC,  I am absolutely positive - there is nothing like Outlook Express (for me).

I browse internet on my W8.1 PC and handle emails on my old Windows XP PC. Very inconvenient, but it's still worth it.

Microsoft, pls offer Outlook Express for Windows 8 and 10 for free or sell it. I personally would pay $500 for the speed and convenience.

Windows Live Mail is not an online app if you don't want it to be.  I assume you are meaning that your email actions you take (like moving/deleting an email) are synchronized to the online server. That's IMAP, and it's recommended because it means you have a backup of your mail.  But if you want it to work like Outlook Express and just POP-download your mail and store it locally only, never online again, you can certainly do that exactly as before (in fact the options box for it hasn't changed, the code was kept during the name-change to "Windows Live Mail").

You can read HTML source by right-click and "view source", and it has the ability to shuffle the local storage folders just like MSOE (which was all local folders).

In fact everything you ask for it already does.  I'd be happy to setup a meeting so we can walk through and configure it the way you want it to be.

Shawn,

I appreciate your time and trying to help!

I do not have technical knowledge and can only tell about my own experience and differences between Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail

Windows Live Mail is an online app and therefore every step or action is much, much slower. 

Saved drafts disappear or take random time to show up in the draft folder. 

Pop-up messages like something failed or did not work due to some connection problems are common (when there were NO  connection problems). And the info or your work is lost if you did not copy it just in case.

It's impossible to easily and quickly edit HTML source code in one or two steps!

Moving emails between folders sometimes does not work or takes a long time - it is in fact, unpredictable.

Outlook Express allowed me to shuffle and rearrange folders and messages separately or absolutely independently from online folders.

Windows Live Mail synchronizes all or most actions, it shuffles and rearranges folders and messages the same way in both Windows Live Mail and in corresponding online folders.

I agree that some ppl would like all these differences or another way of doing things. But some would suffer.

Therefore, my main point is that     killing the star (Outlook Express) has hurt many ppl. 

and

Giving ppl more choices is better than less!
