I note the main view on Outlook Express. My view is entirely the opposite, I have had no trouble copying the emails to another folder on my computer for backup.
OE is so good for getting an email and being able to drag it to a folder.
I do not like Hotmail because the email is not a usable document in the same way because is it online.
Perhaps I do not have the level of sophistication of other persons but OE works for me.
Once it is not available I would appreciate any knowledge out there which would point me in the direction of something similar. Maybe Live Mail will be great but the simplicity of OE is what I like.
I have used Outlook Express for so many years it is now grey! I have refused to be sidetracked into Outlook or to any other email programme for my daily use.The only thing that I have found that could be better with OE is the transfer of stored email folders when a new PC is to be used. I have lost all of these in the past.
Leo, you and I are in different camps on this one. I used Outlook Express for many years and liked it fine. VERY few problem. NOW, with Win7, I am using Windows Live Mail 2011 and I could fill a DVD with all the problems. It is, imho, a VERY bad program. Just like the software they wrote for the Zune and the horrible Windows Media Player. I DREAM of going back to Outlook Express. I fear Microsoft is encouraging people to swith to Apple like my son already did.
I have been repairing computers for the past 14 years, and have had to fix Outlook Express problems many times. Most of the time, you can recover the missing emails by saving the data files, letting the program create new ones, then import the messages from the saved files.

One of the best email systems not mention is Incredimail a great program and I have never had a problem with it yes you have to pay for the professional software to get all the bits and bobs but its a one of payment and well worth it and importnatly its very easy to use.
I believe that at present there are significant unresolved problems with MS Live Mail 2011 in terms of not filtering out spam when the e-mail account is on a POP3 server.Thunderbird works better, but I find gmail the best filtering spam, working natively on the Google site.
I disagree. Outlook Express is ideal for reading newsgroups, so what are you suggesting should replace it for this purpose? Outlook itself is no use.Thunderbird works well for newsgroups. There are also lots of newsreaders that are actively supported and updated, unlike Outlook Express.

I disagree with you about OE> I love it. I tried using Yahoo Mail and Thunderbird and hated both of them. OE is so simple and easy to use. I have been using it since 2006 and I have WindowsXP. I have NEVER lost an email.
I agree with the previous contributer. I have had no problem with OE for 10 years or more. Thunderbird is a useful alternative for use with Win 7 but suffers from too much space taken up with heading and associated information leaving a minimum space for the message. I expect that could be reduced by adjustment if one could find out how, whereas there is no such problem in OE.
The point about overloading the message files is interesting and I will continue to divide my boxes into small categories of, say, 500 e-mail messages max.
Which version of thunderbird is MOST reliable for NOT LOOSING mails pls ?
I await your answer at the earliest as I have to install the recommended one on Windows 7 at the earliest
Alternatively, any other more friendly + secured email client ?
Outlook Express was loved and used by the millions.It should be revived, improved and offered either as a free or a paid addition to Windows 8.1!Without it the email lives of the millions became much harder, slower and more challenging.
Outlook is completely different from Outlook Express, but the instructions in this article can also apply to Outlook Express or and email program. It also applies to any email accounts which support IMAP. The vast majority do. This method should preserve the existing folder structure.

OK, but in my case I want to move from OUTLOOK EXPRESS to THUNDERBIRD, so is there a specific way to do that and preserve the folder structuring? Your answer gets into Outlook and IMAP, but I work from a POP3 server platform. Thanks.
You can set up your email account a second time as IMAP within Outlook Express. Then copy all of the emails from the POP3 version into their corresponding folders in the IMAP account. You can select all of the emails in the account by clicking on the first email in the folede and scrolling down to the last on and shift clicking on the last email. Then you can either drag and drop them to the new folder of copy and past them.
New computer with Windows 10 and Outlook from old computer with Windows XP and Outlook Express. After the transfer, the emails that I had sent prior and had put in individual folders now are listed as if I sent them on the day of the transfer. Is there any way to get them to appear on the day they were actually sent? By the way, if I put them back in the sent folder, they are back to listed on the date they were actually sent.
this logic is working fine only if we send the email to outlook express email ID , in that those image getting displayed properly in the email body , but when the same email if we send to gmail or rdiff user email ID, that image is coming only as attachment in the email Body croxx 'X' mark is comingm even if we clcik on dispay images below in gmail it is not displaying the image in the body, but in the attachment it is OK.
In SOST the images are not coming it is shwoing 'X' mark at image , is there any setting for this to show the image in email body, images are properly coming on office email address but not on other email address.
I am creating a new SSD drive for my mothers computer who lives interstate. In order to have everything she needs I was looking at Libre Office as an alternative. Does it have an email client such as outlook or outlook express or an outside software that is compatible with it. Really need an answer quickly please, as mum has been without her computer for some time now and she lives in a country town with no internet cafes. I will be installing windows 7 as she is familiar with it.
The email client I am using for many years now is Thunderbird. It comes with a well-featured calendar/diary . As I did not use Outlook Express (or Outlook) for many years now, I cannot do any comparison myself, but there is this one e.g. You may also want to read this wiki page and this article.
Thunderbird is also my email/PIM client of choice. It is cross-platform, powerful and a very mature program to handle emails. IMHO, it is superior in many aspects compared to MS Outlook, in other aspects it lacks features (e.g. if connected to MS Exchange Server). Please see a comparison table here:
When Outlook is installed and configured on the old computer, export from OE to Outlook then move the *.pst file to the new computer. See Moving Outlook to a New Computer for the steps required to create a profile and use the *.pst file on the new computer.
If Outlook is not installed on the old computer, you need to either install it (32-bit version) on the old computer and export from OE to Outlook then move the pst or install Windows Live Mail on the new computer (with 32-bit Outlook) and move the OE dbx files to the new computer, then export to Outlook.
When you are moving between OE and Outlook we recommend using OE's export commands, not Outlook's Import commands. When you import using Outlook's commands, the received date won't display in the message list.
The Windows Address Book has an option to export to an existing "Microsoft Exchange Personal Address Book". While you could create a PAB in older versions of Outlook, they are not supported in Outlook 2010. We don't recommend using this method.
Either export your OE address book (wab) to a CSV file (text file) or open the address book and drag the contacts to a folder on your hard drive to create a vcard file for each contact. If you have Contact folders in your address book, you'll need to drag those addresses to a folder on your hard drive as you can't export them.
Contacts within groups will export to a text file with the other contacts, however the group membership will not included. You'll need to recreate the Contact groups in Outlook or categorize the contacts.
Dragging the contacts to a folder will create a vcard for each address, which we can get into Outlook. Outlook can't bulk import the contacts, but you drag them into the Contacts folder then save and close the contacts to add them to Outlook.
Open Outlook Express, empty deleted items then go to File, Export menu and choose Messages. Select All folders or specific folders to export, holding Ctrl as you click to select multiple folders. Click OK and you're done. The export process will use the same folder structure in Outlook, creating folders if they don't exist in the data file.
To find your Outlook PST file, open Outlook and go to File, Data File Management (Outlook 2007 and older). Select the Data File and click Open folder. This opens Windows Explorer to the location of your pst file. Close Outlook and wait a few minutes, then copy the pst file to the new computer.
Close the dialogs and OE and paste the folder path in Windows Explorer's address bar. Press Enter. This will open Explorer to the location of OE's dbx files. Copy the contents of the entire Outlook Express folder, including the folders.dbx file to the Windows 7 computer, placing it in your My Documents folder. If you are moving it on a USB drive, you don't need to copy it to the Windows 7 hard drive, Live Mail can read the files from the USB drive.
