Windows mail/Windows Live Mail questions....
 

I'm a Vista sufferer. Windows Mail is clunky, slow, subject to freezes and sucks even more when having a gmail account.

Is there an easy to use Outlook Express type of email client that can be used in replacement?

Please don't tell me to get a MAC, because I'll hunt you down and poop on your doorstep. ;)

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried thunderbird?

Nope....who supports it, Mozilla?

I've tried using the Gmail/Google web email client.....ads and pop ups. Not as bad as Yahoo or MSN or god forbid Hotmail.....

Any short comings or gotchas? I'll do a search and see what comes up.

You can try windows live mail. Its free and we have been using it ever since we have been using windows 7.

Windows Live Essentials 2011 - Download free Microsoft programs

It's connected to the open office people. I tried it, but I need the integration of Office. If all you're doing is e-mail, Thunderbid is fine.

You might conside getting an old copy of MS Office. You can easily find places selling Office Pro 2003 for under $100.

Red-Beard: Using T-Bird now because is hate Windows Mail LIve. I also found it to be very slow. I have a copy of Office 2000 Pro, have it installed on my Win 7 laptop, but I can't get outlook express to work. Any suggestions?

Thunderbird is OK, but I like Outlook Express bettter.......

Webb-ster was having problems making Office 2000 Pro work. I think he upgraded to 2003 or 2007. I know that 2003 works just fine.

Funny, you guys are complaning about Window Live Mail. I use Outlook 2003 for my work mail and Windows Live for everything else.
