Windows Mail
What this feature does
Windows Mail provides you with an e-mail and newsgroup reader. It includes features such as inbox customization rules, offline synchronization, instant search, and junk and phishing mail filters. Windows Mail also includes the Communities service which displays information about newsgroup messages, such as ratings and rankings. If your newsgroup server administrators choose to support Communities, newsgroup messages will be displayed with these additional Communities features.
Information collected, processed or transmitted
You must enter your e-mail account information and server name for Windows Mail to connect to your e-mail server. You may also provide your Display Name, which is then shown in the e-mail header to everyone you send e-mail to. This information is not sent to Microsoft unless you send an e-mail to the company or use a Microsoft e-mail service such as Windows Live Mail, Hotmail, or MSN Mail. Your email service provider will process the email you send or receive. Any use of that information by the email service provider will be subject to their privacy practices.
If you choose to enable Communities, each time you start Windows Mail, your newsgroup servers will be checked to see if they support the Communities features such as message ratings and rankings. To use advanced Communities features (such as the ability to rate and rank newsgroup postings), you must sign in with your Windows Live ID credentials. For more information about Windows Live ID, see the Microsoft Online Privacy Statement at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=75734.
Windows Mail uses the Contacts folder in Windows Vista to store and organize your contacts. It does not send any information about your contacts to Microsoft.
Use of information
Your e-mail account information is used to establish a connection to your e-mail server and provide a name of your choice to your e-mail recipients. In addition, you will be able to use advanced Communities features in the Newsgroup reader if you sign in with your Windows Live ID.
Choice and control
If you do not want to provide Windows Mail with your e-mail account information or e-mail server name, you can use any other e-mail application to connect to your e-mail server. If you choose not to use Windows Mail for e-mail, the program will not collect any information. If you use Windows Mail, you can select and change your Display Name or choose not to use a Display Name. You can enable Communities the first time that you subscribe to any newsgroup, and you can stop using Communities at any time using the options provided in Windows Mail.
