Alternate mail/groups for Vista?

When, for whatever reason, Windows Mail is not available on my Vista
computer and I have to read my mail and access my groups, what other
mail/group browser would you recommend for the job as a backup program?

Re: Alternate mail/groups for Vista?

And this works as an alternative to Windows Mail in Vista? How does this
work or differ from Windows Mail? Is there anything non-MS out there? Thanks
for that. I'll check it out.

I'm looking for something that would work just as well in case I have
trouble with my Windows Mail and all my MS related software or I'm busy
doing something with it like reloading it. Thanks again.

Re: Alternate mail/groups for Vista?

Windows Live Mail is the successor to Windows Mail and is being actively
developed, while Windows Mail has been all but abandoned. Other than that,
I've heard good things about Thunderbird.
