Thread: windows 7 mail clients

Ok. So I got my win 7 upgrade and noticed it said that windows mail is no longer included but that I could download a 3rd party mail app or one from windows. I am wondering if anyone can tell MW what are some of the good ones and well advantages of different ones. I have always used outlook. Any help would he great.

unfortunately Outlook Express is gone - what they now offer is
Windows Live Essentials - which contains Windows Live Mail

WLE also contains much more apps such as messenger, writer, movie maker and a few more. If you want to dl only Live Mail, it should be here: Live Mail

Many prefer of course thunderbird and if you like firefox as browser, I could imagine that it will be your no 1 choice
Thunderbird

Thanks bud.. i will have to look at them both

Thunderbird, hands down. I have used it for years. Much better than Outlook.

Quick question is either compatible with the calendar on microsoft outlook? Or have a similar set up? I still haven't had time to mess with them much.

actually I am still an outlook user

Thunderbird afaik has no native calendar, but there are addons delivering these functions.

Live Mail looks quite familiar, a calendar function is in there as it is with outlook.
