Even if you needed to switch clients windows live mail is similar enough
to Outlook express that you will have absolutely no problem. The fact of
the matter is that Outlook express will be phased out soon enough as it is.
So you might as well get a copy of Windows live Mail and begin learning it.
Who knows, you might even find you like it.
I find this aversion to not learning new things to be quite annoying to be
honest.

Hey Yardbird, here's the deal. If you use Hotmail with Outlook Express, you
won't be able to access your E-Mail with OE from later this year, and will
need to use something called Windows Live Mail, a different E-Mail client.
If you aren't using Hotmail, which I don't believe you are from your E-Mail
address info, then you have nothing to worry about.
