| | Re: outlook express with windows vista The only way you could run OE instead of WinMail in Vista would be to run an instance of XP in a virtual machine within Vista. So the answer to your question is a squishy, "No, you can't run OE in Vista."

Windows Mail is essentially the latest version of Outlook Express. They just changed the name for it in Vista. No, you can not use an older version of it. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User Please Reply to the Newsgroup |

| | Re: outlook express with windows vista they are different under the bonnet - message storage, setting up, importing old messages, etc but once it's actually set up & working i don't know how you can tell the difference "gary" <gary@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:E97E03D7-CE84-42C3-9E72-F90DF39E30A5@xxxxxx Quote: > Reason is my sister uses outlook express at work and finds it easy to use > but > has just got a new computer with vista on it and she is finding it hard to > use and me beening 300 miles away i can't just pop down to teacher her how > to > use it > > "JethroUK©" wrote: > Quote: >> Why might you want to do that? >> >> >> "gary" <gary@xxxxxx> wrote in message >> news:2C41C26C-4083-408E-933C-FFC1E7113CF3@xxxxxx Quote: >> > Can i use outlook express insted of windows mail ? >> |

| | Re: outlook express with windows vista Windows Mail is so much like OE, I can't understand why she would be having a problem. Windows Mail, however, doesn't access Hotmail and Windows Live Mail would be a good replacement. It is quite different but works well "gary" <gary@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:E97E03D7-CE84-42C3-9E72-F90DF39E30A5@xxxxxx Quote: > Reason is my sister uses outlook express at work and finds it easy to use > but > has just got a new computer with vista on it and she is finding it hard to > use and me beening 300 miles away i can't just pop down to teacher her how > to > use it > > "JethroUK©" wrote: > Quote: >> Why might you want to do that? >> >> >> "gary" <gary@xxxxxx> wrote in message >> news:2C41C26C-4083-408E-933C-FFC1E7113CF3@xxxxxx Quote: >> > Can i use outlook express insted of windows mail ? >> |

Gary, try Thunderbird, it is very like OE and does newsgroups as well. It may just suit her without too much training. |

I downloaded Thunderbird from Mozilla. Works very similar to Outlook Express and the newsgroups work once you get all the settings correct. Diane |
