| 748701 | 2009-02-17 19:41:00 | Hi Guys I have been using Outlook Express for 10 years and am getting sick of it. I often re-install my XP and find it a real pain to export addresses, emails and accounts etc. Are some of the other email programs like Thunderbird, Eudora any better. What about Incredimail and the new Windows Vista Mail ? Please don't mention Outlook and G mail etc as I want a fixed email address. |

To export / import email accts read the reply in the other post To export email addies click on addresses / file / export address book Save it as a wab file. To import them select import. Its not that hard, and takes less than a minute I dont know why people save email. If you want to save whats in it, copy / paste it into notepad and give it a name / save it |

| 748705 | 2009-02-17 20:02:00 | I recommend Thunderbird although I am not an email "power user". Thunderbird has a number of add-ons which add functionality for calendar etc. Try it, its free. |

| 748707 | 2009-02-17 20:18:00 | Hi Guys Please don't mention Outlook and G mail etc as I want a fixed email address . Not sure what you mean by a "fixed" email address? I have Gmail and one reason is to have a "fixed" email address so that if I change ISP I don't have to change my email address . The other reason is Gmail has great spam protection . In relation to this I use Thunderbird to get my mail, no different to using Outlook . Thunderbird also has great spam protection . You don't have to use your browser to get your gmail emails, Thunderbird (and others) will do that for you |

Sorry what I meant was that if you are in business, it is not very business like to have Gmail email address . |
