It's a personal preference thing, for me it's Outlook Express - it's free, also a News reader, configurable and works.

There are loads of mail programs around, take a trip to http://www.tucows.com

Outlook Express. No issues, fully customizable, and interfaces well with the OS.

Outlook express without a doubt.
Never had any problems. everything is to hand at all times ie. Inbox, Outbox Deleted items etc., It's free and you can download new security settings from MSN whenever they come up. :)

You should be able to import into the WAB (Windows Address book) now, if it is there.

Start, run, then type WAB and hit ok.

If it opens: file, import, then choose "other address book."

You will be given a listing of options for import, NC is usually one or two of them, depandant upon version.

Do NOT get Outlook, just upgrade or grab the install of IE6, it will come with Outlook Express 6.

Cheers!

Outlook Express without doubt, espcially if you want to "tart" up the occasional Email with stationery & music etc.
