My father is miserable without his OE email. I daresay impossible. Reading his emails is no longer enjoyable. Mozzilla is horrible for too many reasons. Is Thunderbird the same thing?
Is that a scam or possiblely legit? Any other ideas? I have a customer who uses Incredimail — which seems to look a lot like Outlook Express. Maybe your father would like that? I remember Incredimail.
I used to get emails from people using it, identifiable by its graphically adorned emails and animated gifs. I used it for a while to create holiday and birthday emails. It worked very well and extremely simple to use. Maybe someone who uses it could post a comment on that. Update: I just downloaded it and tried it. It seems easy to use. The free version puts an advertisement gif link at the bottom, not a major problem for email with friends but probably a deal breaker for professional emails.
So you might want to try it out and buy it if you want to get rid of the ad link. It can run together with any other email program as long as you use IMAP or set it to leave mail on server. I have always used Outlook Express and love it.
I hate change, too. Outlook is far too busy, with a million things I will never use. I would do that for your father. This is going to push more people away from Microsoft. Well Microsoft, if you are listening, bring OE back and make it free. I was going to upgrade 3 computers but this move has lost them money. I refuse to buy the software for the other 2 systems. And this is a web based service. Would anyone be content with a Post Office where you go to read your mail but must leave them there?
Once Yahoo killed my ID and all my e-mails for some reason I could never find out. I could never even talk to a live person. Just one day — blink! If you review the TOS for Windows Live Mail, it likely says they can delete your account, at their discretion, at any time, for any reason without notice or explanation.
I feel like packing the whole lot up and dumping it at Harvey Norman,. What exactly is the difference between OE and Outlook? Please forgive my ignorance level of technology. Not only is there Outlook Express or was and Outlook — but there is also outlook. There are a number of different versions of Windows 7.
What is cut out from this OEM version? Does it allow for a clean install? The only difference is each email address, if you have more than one, has now a separate entry. Making it easier to control each email address. If you put your old hard disc into your new computer, you can import your address book into Live Mail from it just as Outlook used to. Where did Microsoft hide my E-mail files? I can not find them in Windows 7 so I can copy it to Microsoft Ooutlook Please Help.
We really want to be able to use Outlook Express on Window 7. It may not be Outlook Express ,but it works much the same. I tried downloading the Virtual PC program as suggested above, but it will not download for Home Edition. Win 7 Live Mail does not look like OE as mentioned above, and does not have the options listed in the conversion instructions in the Outlook 7 Help.
Do you have any ideas for converting the data from the older OE to Outlook 7? Had no trouble to import the whole address book from Outlook Express, but using Windows Mail? NO if I can help it: am now looking for a way to get Outlook Express working on Vista, anybody doing this? Too many hoops to jump through. Absolutely not! An email program called The Bat looks promising. I use it under vista, BUT it is available under windows 7. My XP desktop crashed; was able to have the geeks back up my broken hard drive on an external hard drive.
They salvaged my old emails in. After much searching and trying, I now have my email back. Here is what I did: 1. Bought a new computer; windows 7 yea another operating system — so far so good 2. Select file, import for me it was outlook express 6 files , browse to find your.
It actually worked! All folders, files and attachments are there, in order. Windows 7 is a good leap forward from Vista. I am using Earthlink MailBox for some years now. With Windows 7, the XP Mode is a life saver. The question now is where to download the used to be free Outlook Express. Probably Leo can answer this. I have my old XP PC in another room. How do I stop this from happening? Old machine is still running with Outlook Express.
Can open and read all mail with old machine but only get some on the new machine. Particularly frustrating and am wondering if all emails sent from new machine have made it to destination?
What am I doing wrong? After years of using outlook express 6, I downloaded and installed windows live and like it. One thing that is missing is a place to check always open email in my inbox, not the last folder used. I still have Windows XP. Does anybody know wheree it is? I hated XP, but…Windows 7 is very confusing and takes too long to get use to!!!! I am concidering going to MAC the next time I upgrade! Just a little story. I got used to Windows XP, liked it, but got tired of limited usage, window explorer errors, not able to preview my digital Mpeg 4 files.
I tried Vista 64 bit OS. After more frustration, not accepting my good and old programs, I returned that junky software with a brand new PC from the Future Shop. The PC should be renamend to Gates Way! The story continues. Bought Easy Media Creator from Roxio to replace the older version from , hoping that it would work better with Vista. Program was very slow and crashing, did not notice any changes to the software except the new cover and graphics.
The program was identical. I also forgot about the 32 and 64 bit headache. Another grab for money?! Unable to do my holiday videos and media files, I switched to Windows 7. I am speechless. On top of that my digital camera Canon Power Shot, one of the best on market was not compatible, because the driver was not recognized and so is the installed software Zoombrowser I got used to and loved it.
Another device would not work was the CapWiz, needed to transfer old analog files on HD and to make them digital. Another setback! It is unbelievable how much money is asked for a new software and how little is made in effort to make it user friendly. I do not care about new appearances in software. I do not care about a fancy cover! I want a program that works, is compatible and not irritating, because I do not get paid for my lost time, like those messing up already good features in already existing and popular programs.
Get rid off the bad stuff, improve it, add new and keep it the way it was originally designed to serve the people. Thank you. I like it and find it very practical, it has an extremely relyable backup and transfer feature. However, for all those who do not want to pay, I sincerely advice to install and use Mozilla applications instead. They are legally for free, work well, and Mozilla provides a backup-feature.
Anyway, I also advice to avoid all new versions of any microsoft programs unless you do not really have a problem with the old one. They are made uniquely for you to spend money! I help senior citizens with computers and wish that Microsoft had included a basic e-mail program with System 7. I personally use Outlook so no problem. My wife wants Incredimail on hers and I experimented and found it will work on System 7.
Windows Live Mail seems awkward. That was more of a concern than moving to System 7 with printers, scanners, etc. I replaced Vista with 7 because it was part of the computer purchase; took forever, between back-up,and download; it was O. EXCEPT that everything is tied to Windows Live; so that the startup suddenly was a slowup; and the contacts from OE got all fouled up; took ages to alphabetize, and then it insisted on first names first even when it was set for last names…so I did the only sensible thing; dumped it out, went back to Vista, and windows mail…much more manageable, and way faster….
Windows Live arrogates to itself grabbing everything first…. Hello Leo — We love your advice. I have one suggestion — I have Word 97 for typing letters and have tried and tried to get someone to update so each time I am looking up the subject of my letters the search always goes back to the beginning I have letters in it so it takes me a long time to find Apples and then have to go to the beginning to get to the Thermostat letters.
See what you can do! I have called and written to Microsoft 5 times. Best regards. What a pain. I read this offten. Thank you, Ernie. All well and good BUT this edition does not include Outlook Fair enough — so you download and install Windows Live Mail and set it up.
Again, still all seems fine. Instead you have to save work and then attach it to your email afterwards. So the net result of a massive up-grade and expense is that a job that took two steps — write and send — now requires five steps — write, save, open email, attach and send. Microsoft seemed to have allowed themselves to be split into competing teams in a way that Apple would never do.
We all know computers are female, but a live mail that works with all systems would be nice! I was searching for Outlook Express to use in Windows 7 and came accross this site. It is very frustrating as I would use it all the time. Could anyone HELP me,,,,, please…. The problem with live mail is that it has those ignoring ads! Is there anyway to add outlook to windows7? I have the original microsoft office disk for xp.
I think Microsoft has left us high and dry. I have tried to to use outlook and and does not work. I have tried to download express,Does not work. IT then says to download drivers. I did that. Still doesnt work as they expect you to pay for the program Paretologic before you can download and install the drivers. And they say windows 7 is good? What about if the chineese compromise the live servers and get your data which you are being forced to give them acess to by setting up live mail client.
They are just doing it so you have mail and a facebook style thing all in one, maybe they want the facebook traffic and this is how they trick you into it.
I became an Outlook Express subscriber back in the old webtv days and frankly I miss it. I would drop it in a minute to get my OE back. The problem is, how do we get it to work? I have tried and tried but cannot get windows mail working.
Why did Microsoft put the windows mail folder there??? There must be a reason because all the files are in the windows mail folder. Outlook Express is used with Windows XP and older versions. There are a number of differences between Outlook express and Windows mail. Windows mail is free to use while Outlook is paid software which is part of Microsoft Office, Outlook offers more features like tasks and notes which are not on Windows mail among others.
If you are looking for the new free version from Microsoft i may suggest Windows Live Mail. It does not require a live address. Full version of Outlook can still be bought. Outlook Express comes directly with your Windows Package.
It is somewhat like the default email software for Windows, if you are not using the ones like Yahoo or Google. I have not heard of any Outlook Express that comes separately from the Windows software.
