Outlook with windows 7 .....

[harley_Husky]

Is there a way to use good old fashioned Outlook express in windows 7 ...? i'm currently using Sylpheed and i've tried most of the others but just want outlook express.

Any ideas boffins ! lol

Outlook express is very old now and has none of the accepted security measures that would be expected from a mail client these days.

And as far as I know you can't run it natively under windows 7 anyhow.

the closest other mail client to OE that I'm aware of is evolution,

But thunderbird is probably easier and has more support for transferring mail between different clients.

Thanks ' Chuck ' lol

Your answer makes good sense. I'll take a look at the link you provided. Many thanks for your response.

Best wishes.

Windows Live Mail is very similar to Outlook Express, any problem with using that?

I love Evolution on my Ubuntu machine, but hate the Windows Version. Windows Live Mail is fine and (as VHG says) very similar to OE

I'm using Thunderbird 3.3 Alpha 3 with Windows 7 (also known as Miramar 3.3 Alpha 3). I really like it and it is the best email client that I could find that is similar to Outlook.
