Once you have your contacts in place, Windows Live Mail really is like
Outlook Express.

Hello Joan,
My brother has Windows Live, and I know it isn't anywhere near as straight
forward as Outlook Express!...
I am not sure how different Outlook is, but I think it is more like Outlook
Express than any other e-mail programme.
Can anyone give me a run down on Outlook please.
Many thanks,
Shirley.
