Outlook Express
Is it possible to download and use Outlook Express in 64 bit WIN7? I am
not happy with the alternatives. I am using Live Mail in conjunction with Thunderbird, but I really miss Outlook Express. Most of the mail ptograms work, but not as well as OE 6 that I had with XP. TIA |

TIA Unfortunately, OE will not work with Win7, but there is a way to run Vista's Windows Mail if you want that. Do a Google for it; I saw it somewhere in one of the forums, but can't recall right off-hand which one. SC Tom |

It was replaced by windows Mail which in turn has been replaced by Windows Live mail It May look a little different to OE but all the same controls and setting are there plus some more. The alternatives that I tried for news groups (I use Outlook for Mail) Was, Mesnews and Thunderbird Both good But plumed for WLM As that had one thing I wanted that the others did not |

I suppose it could be a way to get more to pay for proper Outlook but if that's heading in the same direction as WLM then well.. Think MS could do better here really. I'm probably going to have to fork out for Outlook in the end. -- Skipai |

I'm probably going to have to fork out for Outlook in the end. There are many email programs available and most of them are better than the MSFT offerings. Look at Pocosystems Pocomail or Barca (if you want an inbuilt PIM), Forte Agent (email and news), and Ritlabs TheBat!

I'm probably going to have to fork out for Outlook in the end. -- Skipai I don't find that to be true. WLM on my Win7 notebook is as fast as, if not faster than, OE6 on my XP desktop. And my desktop is a much faster machine than the notebook with a better network connection (100Mb wired vs. 54Mb wireless). I tried Thunderbird for a while before 7 was released to see if I liked it or not, and was not impressed with it. There were a few things that I wanted to do in customization, and couldn't seem to get it the way I wanted it. Forum support was terrible (I know, I know, it's a forum), and Thunderbird's on-line help wasn't much help. I also installed Outlook 2003 and got MapiLab's newsreader plug-in for it. I had used Outlook for years at work and was comfortable with it, and the newsreader plug-in was OK, but I still missed OE and it's ease of use. I installed WLM on my Win7 notebook, and have been using it since, and am very happy with it. Of course, these are just my experiences and opinions. Other's may vary, and you have the right to disagree. SC Tom |

So far I use a IMAP server on UNIX to do similar, and ssh into it with port forwarding when I am not at home. But using a USB stick, could work offline. |
