| 1232304 | 2011-09-20 02:41:00 | I'm still using outlook express on my XP desktop computer and it suits my simple needs perfectly.

| 1232307 | 2011-09-20 03:09:00 | Thunderbird is pretty good, and similar enough to outlook express to pick up easily. I use the portable version on a flash drive as I tend to use multiple PCs, although mostly I find webmail to be perfectly fine. There is something different about how live mail works I think, but I don't recall what it was. In any case it also works well. |

| 1232309 | 2011-09-20 03:19:00 | Outlook Express (XP and previous) -> Windows Mail (Vista) -> Windows Live Mail Windows Live Mail is distributed as part of Windows Live Essentials and is a PC based mail client program. Windows Live is also Microsoft's collective name for Hotmail/Messenger/Skydrive which is "cloud" based and that is where the confusion lies. |

If you don't know how to set it up, get on here and we'll help. LL |
