Windows Mail
Windows Mail sure seems like a kludge of a program. Outlook Express
seemed to be much better/faster/more configurable. I know there are plenty of other 3rd party mail programs available, but has anyone been able to install OE in W7?

Outlook Express was a part of Internet Explorer 6 and that program is not compatible with Win7. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA

OE won't work in 7 but Windows Live Mail (not Windows Mail) is a viable alternative.

I don't understand why they did away with that. Also, I don't care for the tiny little triangle to expand threads as opposed to the larger + box. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA

No. Neither can you install Windows Mail either. YES you can install WINDOWS MAIL in Windows7. You need to copy the files winmail.exe msoe.dll from a Windows Vista machine. (be careful there are 32bin and 64bit versions) Then paste to appropriate directory on Win7. But first you must grant yourself full access to the directories and delete the old files on win7. It works, i have it running myself. greetings Roland Schweiger

I really don't care for the WLM handling of newsgroups either (don't much care for the mail interface either)...

I for one would appreciate a more detailed guide as to exactly how to do this; I'm not getting on well with Live Mail at all. Bert First, you need access to a Vista machine. On the W7 machine, find the "Windows Mail" folder in Program Files. Rename it to "OldWindows Mail" as a precaution. Using a Flash or CD, copy the "Windows Mail" folder in its entirety from the Vista machine. Go back to the Win7 machine and copy the "Windows Mail" from the Flash or CD to a location in Program Files. Open it and right click on the WinMail.exe file and send a shortcut to the Desktop. Done. A few caveats: EML and NWS files will not open in WinMail, but rather another e-mail client that you will need to have. WinMail also cannot be made the default mail or news client.
