| 1202567 | 2011-05-17 00:15:00 | I have recently moved to Win7 and have gone back to Thunderbird for email. In addition to Thunderbird, if you have been a user of Outlooks Calendar, you can get Sunbird and Lightning for Thunderbird which integrate well with other, down side though is there is no PST import into Sunbird that I could find. I think they are dropping Sunbird which was a stand alone calendar and just going with Lightning which is an addon for Thunderbird. I prefer Thunderbird. I know someone that started using Windows Live mail and had to ditch it but can't remember the reason why. |

| 1202568 | 2011-05-17 01:21:00 | If I had Win7, I would probably use Vista Windows mail (you can copy it, but you need reg files as well). But thats pretty easy to do. Besides that I would just use OL 2007 I wouldnt use Thunderbird. It takes forever for it to configure (since it thinks it knows what its doing / and tries to configure your server info). And always stuffs it up / fails |

| 1202569 | 2011-05-17 01:43:00 | Thunderbird very often wants IMAP accounts rather than POP accounts. I use Outlook 2007 and backup my *.PST files on a daily basis using the free backup tool from MS. I have Win7 but don't really like Win Live mail although it is relatively easy to use. You could, as Alex B suggests use an earlier version of Outlook with Office 2010. |

| 1202575 | 2011-05-17 07:15:00 | I had Thunderbird set up in a couple of minutes and no effort at all in importing all the mail from Outlook Express. Very hassle free. There was a minor hic-up that took all of a couple of minutes to sort creating the various pop and smtp's of all the various ISP's that I access as I travel. |

| 1202576 | 2011-05-17 13:28:00 | I have always used 'Forte Agent'. It is stand alone and can be placed anywhere. You can make a copy of it for each account. Is a very good news group agent as well. Runs on any 32bit Windows. | mzee (3324) | ||
