Like most when I moved over to Windows 7 I hated Windows Live Mail. I asked a few questions on another list and basically was told the closest to Outlook express I was going to get is WLM. I persvered and after a very shot time found it became much more usable and comfortable. I’ll confess to preferring OE but WLM has become a close second best.

Thunderbird was a total mistake for me and others I know so now I am using Postbox , not the best but basic and now stable.

Eudora and Thunderbird seem to behave bizarrely on my machine. If I go back to XP what is the downside? Also any other email programmes which work as easily as Outlook Express out there? Jeff
