| 564925 | 2007-07-02 04:41:00 | Outlook Express – yeah know it is probably old hat stuff but we are about to start teaching a bunch of seniors this – on Vista PC’s – and guess what – Vista has an “updated” v called Windows Mail. Does anyone know if it is possible to download Outlook Express to Vista – if so where from. Many thanks |

| 564926 | 2007-07-02 04:44:00 | I doubt that you will be able to "downgrade" to Outlook Express on Vista. Is there any particular reason why you specifically need OE instead of Windows Live Mail? | somebody (208) | ||
| 564927 | 2007-07-02 04:47:00 | I doubt it unless it comes in a update which I doubt too. Windows Mail is most probably the successor to OE. And most probably wont work in Vista. |

| 564928 | 2007-07-02 04:48:00 | Yes because our seniors use it and we have the SeniorNet manuals for it. | stuffed (1469) | ||
| 564929 | 2007-07-02 04:51:00 | Well they'll have to reinstall XP if they want OE. I doubt MS are going to go backwards and support OE in Vista. |

| 564930 | 2007-07-02 23:36:00 | Windows Mail is the successor to Outlook Express. Not to be confused withWindows Live Mail. About time the wallys changed the name - too much confusion between Outlook and Outlook Express. What do you expect from the genii who call 2 different programs Explorer and who use the Start button to stop the computer? Here's MS's blurb: Windows Mail is the successor to Outlook Express Windows Mail builds on the foundation of Outlook Express, adding a variety of new features designed to make your e-mail experience more productive and fun, while helping to reduce risks and annoyances such as phishing and junk e-mail. Getting started If you're upgrading from Outlook Express, Windows Mail can import your existing account information and e-mail addresses. The first time you start Windows Mail, you will be prompted to set up an e-mail account. If you skip this step and want to set up a new account later, click the Tools menu, click Accounts, and then click Add. In addition to sending and receiving e-mail, you can use Windows Mail to read newsgroups, which are Internet discussion forums where groups of people gather to talk about common interests. To participate in a newsgroup (you can send a message or just read what other people are talking about), click Microsoft Communities in the folder pane. You can choose from a variety of newsgroups devoted to Windows and other Microsoft products. To get help using Windows Mail, click the Help menu, and then click View Help. You can also get help from other Windows Mail users in the microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail (news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail) newsgroup. |

| 564931 | 2007-07-02 23:44:00 | Thanks for your help – it won’t be easy sorting and think the best way in the meantime to use XP PC’s (which we have had 5 donated) to teach anyone who uses Outlook Express to save confusing them with the new Windows Mail! | stuffed (1469) | ||
