Windows Live Mail is what MS suggest in place of OE. Outlook 2000 used PST files, it was Outlook Express that used wab files. You should be able to export you address book from old computer and import it into a new program. Thunderbird does allow you to chose the from address in outgoing emails.

It came with Win7 and IE8 hence no more Outlook Express. <pout> When using Outlook Express I could have different From: lines for the same email address. e.g. When I post my lessons it said one thing, in another mailing list it said another, etc., all coming from the same email address. What I want to know is if I get the latest greatest Outlook will I be able to do this? I have Outlook 2000 but it won't work because it wants the address book the way MS use to do it, wab, and won't let me pick something else. Thunderbird you can't. Windows Live Mail desktop you can't. Both of these record an email address and only let you set it up once. In OE I could set the same email address up as many times as I wanted. Thanks in advance for the help. S.
