Morning all,

I recently brought a new PC with Windows 7 to find that Microsoft, the tight so and so's, have removed Micsrosoft Outlook from the system :evil:

So i am now left with trying to find a decent downloadable free mail client.

I have browsed the web and seen a few potetials but wnated to know if you guys use mail client and and recommendations

Cheers

Glen

Was there not some legal issue about Outlook Express, similar to the fuss about IE being provided as default Browser?
I didn't think Outlook had ever been a provided as a freebie.

Personally I use Mozilla Firefox as a Browser and Mozilla Thunderbird as the email, with the Lightning add-on for the Calendar etc.

from a microsoft employee that I know well...
The full version of Outlook only ships with the Office suite as has always been the case.

We used to ship Outlook Express in Windows XP but this has since been replaced in Windows 7 with Windows Live Mail - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/wind ... r-programs" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Outlook Express was also not part of the lawsuit taken against Microsoft.
