    Does beta version 4 solve the problem of not being able to import from Windows Mail in Vista. This was on the bugfix menu for version 3.8.

    Skypeme 4. This version of skypeme is useless i no longer get people getting in touch with me,As some of my friends do not have my address they know when im on line with skypeme. If Skype do not put skypeme back they will loose customers as they will go to Yahoo or MSN. Skypeme is a great programe its a pity but please put it back.
