Closest thing is probably Windows Live Mail Desktop but I gave up on them ever finishing that so now use Thunderbird for mail and news and it looks much like OE. Unlike WLMD it's fast with newsgroups and suits me because it "Looks" the same on Windows or Linux. Of course if OE had still been available I'd probably have stuck with that. |

| Re: outlook express Look at the export options in OE. Then look at the import options in Windows Mail. BTW: I haven't had any problems with Windows Mail. Seems to be just OE with a new name and a new look.

| Re: outlook express Windows mail has IMPORT file > import Outlook express is version 6, Windows mail is actually Outlook express version 7 same thing, with a new name to try to convice us that vista has something new... (actually they changed the name to stop the confusion with outlook from office) it has some differences but if you know outlook express you know windows mail.

| Re: outlook express Except with Windows Mail you can't set up accounts like you can in OE. Each "user" needs a separate Vista Windows account. Sort of a pain since my wife and I share a laptop and really have no need for separate accounts beyond email. Having to switch users at the windows level just to check email is a pain.

| Re: outlook express Bill, Thunderbird is the most "OE like" software in terms of appearance, and the setup is quite similar, and it's quite reliable. It's also appreciably faster than the Windows Mail.

Have they (whoever "they" are) looked at Windows Mail at all? It's very much like OE. Can you explain why it's an issue? Maybe someone here knows how to work around that issue. |

It's more than "very much like OE." It's essentially just the latest release of OE. They changed the name and some details under the hood, but in terms of look and feel, it's almost identical. Changing the name was good, because too many people confused Outlook and Outlook Express, but changing the name doesn't really make it a different program. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User Please Reply to the Newsgroup |
