Adrian, I use Outlook 2007 at work for my corporate E-Mail and it is not able to work in the same way as OE. For example, in order to gain the list of messages from the folder list, you have to press the Enter key. Then to go back to the folders you use F6. Then again when you want to open the next folder, Enter again. Not as fundamental as just using the tab key back/forth. I find the process less useful, and in fact do not filter incoming messages to discrete folders, for that very reason. I don't know of an equivalent keystroke in Outlook 2007 to the Ctrl+j in OE, that allows me to jump to the next folder with an unread message. Very convenient, and I never miss anything that way. In Outlook 2007 I attend to all messages in the inbox and then file them in appropriate folders. Perhaps 2003 is not as pedantic as 2007?

I filter messages from each list into its appropriate folder and then start reading at the first unread message. If the message is worth saving, I move it to another folder for safe keeping; if not, I delete it, and the next message starts speaking automatically. I normally go all the way through the unread messages without returning to the message list, unless I need to move a message to a folder for saving. With the speech set as high as I can understand it, I can get through a lot of email in a hurry. It's also nice to see how many messages are being downloaded in a session, how many unread messages are in a folder and to be able to go to a folder with first-letter navigation, all of which I can do with Outlook Express. I hope that at least one of the email program possibilities will let me continue most of these practices.

Don't take my word for it. Mess around with it a bit. You will get the hang of it very fast. Now, one complain I have is that I can't use first letter navigation. A shame really.

Before going to the trouble of trying to get it to work, however, I would like to know how well it works with JFW 12. I don't see it in the Supported Programs list. I do see Windows Live Mail listed, but don't really know how well it works either. I know that there are third-party scripts for Thunderbird, but haven't heard many comments about them on this list. While I am deciding which email program to try on Windows 7, I am still using my old faithful Outlook Express on my XP system. Any comments on the email programs I've mentioned are welcome. I am using JFW 12 Build 522.

I could send to you if you wish. ----- Original Message ----- From: john R.

Its name is windows life mail. Now, I know that outlook 2007 and 2010 does work with windows 7. Maybe you should upgrade. From: Hamid Hamraz Sent: Monday, January 17, 2011 7:28 AM To: jfw list Subject: Outlook 2003: problem with outgoing mails Dear all, I am using windows XP SP3 and outlook 2003. I have configured my Gmail account exactly as stated in Gmail help. I receive the incoming mails, but I can not send anything, without any kind of error message! Any suggestions? (I have imported the settings from OE, and then modified it to the ones in gmail help.) I really prefer to use OE, but I am switching to windows 7 soon. So I am looking for a well accessible counterpart for OE. Can OE be installed on windows 7, instead of windows mail? Any suggestions/comments is greatly appreciated. Cheers! Hamid Yadiel J.
