Has anyone found a replacement yet?
That can
- import gigabytes of OE email history
- integrate mail and news
- not lose any of the other useful features of OE
Well Outlook can do the first and I'm struggling to think of any "useful features" of OE
other than being a news reader as well. It doesn't even have a calendar for a start! OK, you can switch identities without restarting OE - I don't think you can achieve quite the same without restarting Outlook - at least not as a POP3 / IMAP client.
Having said that, the full Outlook client is a paid-for product not bundled like OE, so if you are comparing OE to free email clients you may have a point - I'm afraid I don't have any knowledge of free alternatives.
But then again, many people have a version of MS Office that includes Outlook, so it is effectively free for them.
I will shortly be moving home PCs over to Win 7 & Office 2010, and I suspect that I will use Outlook 2010 in preference to the OE replacement - now that really is, I hear,
a pox on the bottom of humanity
