Your version is the latest.

The next version will be in Wave 4 and if past practice is followed....beta, RC or RTW. The release date for any updated version
has not been made available.

The latest we've *spotted* is, I think, 15.0.1141.0526. The last
group of digits is the 'release' date - here 26 May - so there have
undoubtedly been many versions since then. The 6 February version
Ron quotes and you have is the latest released to the public.

Question:

How does Windows Live Mail update? right now, I am using the .0206 version
of WLM.. Does the upgrade to the client come though Windows Update or is
there another way to check to see if we have the, excuse the pun, " FRESHEST
VERSION"

Windows Live Essentials Availability

- see the above link, read the section titled 'Comments and Suggestions' and consider using the full version download offline
install method.

Fyi...Windows Live Mail is capable of updating via Microsoft Update but that feature is not fully enabled for deployment via that
route.

I just had a heck of a time updating WLM,as it does not update automatically
through Windows Update.
The latest version is Build 14.0.8089.0726. and i went to
http://download.live.com to find it.
I'm hoping it will correct the "stopped working" notices, and mail sitting
in the Outbox. and all the other problems I hope they fixed! And the double
and triple "reply" windows that keep popping up to ruin my mail replies! It's
theoretically a great program,...if and when it works!

Fyi...I'm not experience Outbox or duplicate reply problems...you might consider looking elsewhere for causes(e.g. AV program, AV
program email scanning, etc)

Good thought. I'll check with the tech at AVG.. There have been fixable
problems with AVG since I got Vista, and I read the link about not needing AV
in email, but I'm not comfortable with that, as I once got a trojan through
e-mail! And did not enjoy spending the price of getting rid of that one!
Thanks ,Winston.

For AVG, iirc, it must be removed and reinstalled Custom mode, and email deselected.

With WLMail you have even less (than none?) reasons to use e-mail scanning
in your AV program.

What "e-mail scanning" does is scan the data stream while if flows from the
server to your e-mail client, or vice-versa. This means the AV has to be in
the middle (between the e-mail client and the e-mail server), and this is
the source of the problems.

WML stores message on disk in individual *.EML files. The AV's "resident
shield"/"real-time scanner"/ etc does verify files that are acted upon, so
it detects the virus as soon as WLM fetches the message, while it tries to
write this message to disk. There's nothing to gain from scanning the
messages twice (1st time while downloading them, 2nd time while writing them
to disk), with the same AV and at a split-second time interval. (I have
actually seen this happening, as Hotmail's junk filter does not do such a
good job. While syncronising the account, AVG's "resident shield" popped-up
and signaled the virus, offering to quarantine or delete the *.EML file.)
