The closest thing to Outlook Express nowadays is Windows Live Mail. It's

Oh man! I have Windows Live Essentials on most of my Windows 7 and 8
machines and it is awful. You can't even select multiple newsgroups and
right click and perform options. TB doesn't either. I dunno understand why
software has to go from bad to worse as time goes on?

Because the most vocal users of technology are the ones who demand that
everything be simplified. Power users don't demand change and generally
adapt to whatever is being offered. However, the incredibly stupid users
always want programs to remove the more complex feature and slim everything
down only to what's required and/or most used.
