The trouble is, I have a friend who cannot see attachments and fs told her
it was a bug in windows live mail 2011.

Why not give windows live mail a chance. You can even export your contact
list in .CSV format. And add them to your contact list. Give it a try... is
not that hard... However, I cannot seem to create a message rule, but since
that is not a important thing for me, then for me at least, I don't care...
but give it a try.

Yes, many things from OE can be ported, such as messages, accounts and
contact lists, but I believe that the rules can not be ported at all, and
for your case, the only solution is to ask for sighted assistance for the
rules creation.
Note: for the contact list, I exported a comma separated value (CSV) from
OE. Here in windows mail, I couldn't use that because here the all columns,
such as first name, last name, email, etc, were treated as only a single
column. I couldn't made the proper mapping between the columns, and
therefore I build up my contact list from scratch using my messages in my
inbox (not that hard: right click and add sender to address book)
If you want to configure WM in future, I recommend to export the contact
list in other formats too, such as WAB,etc.

Hamid,
Unfortunately, I have a 64-bit Windows 7 system, so the message rules
problem might be a show stopper for me since I depend on those rules to
filter my messages into folders for each list. I'm still not clear about
what's happening with the check boxes on 64-bit systems though. I'm
wondering if JAWS can see the check boxes at all and speak their checked or
unchecked state. I know that many Outlook Express settings can be
transferred from one computer to another, but I don't know if that's true
with message rules. If so, I might be able to port my existing rules over to
the Windows 7 system. Once I create some recovery disks for my Windows 7
system and create a restore point, I just may take my chances and give
Windows Mail a try.

Hi Gary,
I think the problem with the message rules is only within 64-bit machines.
Mine is 32-bit, and I could create my message rules the same as OE without a
hitch.
The issue of the automatic focus switch is a matter of personal taste; I
think it's not avoidable. Now I usually use ctrl + j and ctrl + u (just the
same as OE) for moving around the folders containing unread messages.
It is mostly like a name change to windows mail. Jaws (11) sometimes
mistakenly call it Outlook Express!
One improvement that I was expecting over OE is the addition of the language
feature to its editor, I.e. when I change the keybord layout language, there
should be a tag which lets Jaws reads the messages with its true language.
Anyway this is also similar as OE.
To sum up, no problem so far.
Cheers
Hamid

Hamid,
At some point, I will probably try the Windows Mail configuration on my
Windows 7 system. I hope you find a way to solve the focus change problem.
Have you found any other problems with Windows Mail on your Windows 7
system? It has been stated on this list that message rules creation can't
be done because of problems with the check boxes in the rules creation
dialog. Have you tried to create message rules in Windows Mail?

Hi all,
I have windows 7 installed on my computer and managed to configure windows
mail as the default email client using the tutorial here as provided by
David:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14125880/Ryan%27s%20Windows%20Mail%20Tweak%20tutoria
l.zip
So far so good! This might be useful for folks avoiding upgrade to 7 because
of the email client issue.
One difference to OE: when navigating in the folder view pane, for each
folder that receives focus, if that contains any message, the focus switches
automatically to the message list of the folder. Any suggestions on how to
disable this feature or maybe tame it down for better utilization?
Cheers
