Anyone used this?

I hate LiveMail with a passion but I had a bad experience with Mozilla Thunderbird and have never felt confident with it.

The screenshots look ghastly....

Think I'll stick to what I'm using.

Ditto with Live Mail - WTF was wrong with Outlook Express ?

Moved to Thunderbird and so far no problems - but never say never I guess.

I might have tried Outlook, but they want money for it, so stuff that for a bowl of cherries.

HH - looks like the short answer is no. Not known to me either, but seems to be well reviewed. I guess the verdict will depend on suport and how/when it updates to each new OS. Thunderbird seems to be ok on both counts.

I'm playing about with it this weekend - installs fine and even managed to connect to BT with only one failure (!!!)

looks very clean and minimalist but with a lot of options and is VERY quick

Doesn't handle POP3 only IMAP which means its a bit of a bugger if you really want all your emails kept locally

OE Classic

Try googling for OE Classic. As the name suggests it's similar
to the old Outlook Express. Works well on my Windows 7.
