| 1138982 | 2010-09-22 09:45:00 | I am taking delivery of a Win 7 computer soon and want to decide what mail program to use with it. While there will be many who will 'vote' for Mozilla Firefox, nevertheless its not for me. Sooo, what is there out there, that might do the job. Oh and preferably free !! |

| 1138983 | 2010-09-22 09:54:00 | Thunderbird. But it can take time to configure it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1138984 | 2010-09-22 10:02:00 | Take your Pick (email.about.com) The most common ones are Windows Live Mail & Thunderbird ( which you say you dont want) Personally I install Live Mail in New builds unless the customer has another they want, its easy to setup and can tie in / work with other Windows live programs. Of course theres Outlook , but thats not free and generally part Of MS Office. Edited: only thing I find bad about Live mail, its a bit "bland" looking. |

| 1138985 | 2010-09-22 10:10:00 | Isn't Windows Live Mail built into W7. Use this for your "Official" Emails & Google Gmail for your 'Throwaway disposable' emails. Gmail can be programmed to appear in your regular Inbox. PJ | Poppa John (284) | ||
| 1138986 | 2010-09-22 10:12:00 | No Win7 doesnt have a mail program of any kind | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1138987 | 2010-09-22 10:23:00 | Live mail often comes with "Name Brand" PC's, included in Live Essentials - pre loaded by the manufacture. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1138988 | 2010-09-22 10:43:00 | I have been using Win 7 and live mail since Feb. and have had no problems with it. I don't do anything fancy with it, just the normal sending and receiving of emails. Also used it with XP for the last 6 months I used it. :) |

| 1138989 | 2010-09-22 11:07:00 | Just adding to my post above Re name Brand PC's. Thats not quite the full story. :eek: untechnical version: :rolleyes: If you are a system builder and preload in Microsoft Office 2010, the customer has the option to select the Starter Edition 2010, which is free, or the full versions which need to be paid for. As part of the OEM & OPK Agreement,you agree to preload in Windows Live Essentials (includes live Mail) , along with a couple of MS items / requirements. |

| 1138990 | 2010-09-22 19:42:00 | I have found that those brand name comps that come with Office trial including Outlook. If you configure the Outlook and then decide not to buy Office and get the system builder to install the office home & student package they wipe your emails and don't point out that this happens :eek: | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1138991 | 2010-09-22 20:57:00 | and get the system builder to install the office home & student package they wipe your emails and don't point out that this happens That happens if the twit system Builder doesn't know or care. Thats actually one point I do make VERY clear in the differences between versions. |
