Resolved Absence of Mail program in Windows7

Desire to purchase a Windows7 machine after October 22. Request information as to what is the best program for windows7 mail? Currently, Using Outlook Express in the old machine which is headed for the cemetery.Please advise. Thanks for your time.


Go Steelers

 

Yea, well, no more Outlook Express, or Vista's "Windows Mail ". You are encouraged (by Microsoft, not me lol) to download the "Windows Live" Suite of tools, which includes the WinLive/MSN Messenger, Family Essentials, Toolbar, Movie Maker (which is no longer included with Windows 7, but still a free download), and, of course, Mail Writer, which works with any email account, not just hotmail/WinLive.

Avoid all the riffraff, and don't download the entire suite, unless you want all of the programs. I must say that I do like the Mail client. I used it throughout the "Vista years ", and downloaded it again for Win 7.

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks for the info. I shall download Windows Mail when the time comes.

PS:Have Microsoft Office 2000 which contains,as you know, Outlook and Outlook Express. Does Windows Mail mirror Outlook Express which I have been using for nine years? Please advise. thanks for your time.

Steelers won.

 

I find my Vista Windows Mail to be very similar to Outlook Express.

 

Appreciate all the info. Thanks BBS. Shall we say issue resolved. Case closed.

 

You probably are aware, if you go up to the top of your thread, choose "thread tools" and select "Resolved," it will display throughout BBS.

 

I was not aware. Thanks
