I'm not sure that I would encourage anyone to move from Turnpike. One of
its great advantages now is that because it's obsolescent, it doesn't
keep changing, unlike Thunderbird.
Here I run Thunderbird and Pan for some news, but all my main email and
news stays on Turnpike, simply because it works superbly, does exactly
what I want and has all the old emails. I do find that I now and again
need to look up some old email or some activation info for some program
that needs to be moved to a new machine.
Maybe it won't go on for ever, but I'm even prepared to run a virtual
machine just to keep it going on 64-bit Win7 or 8.

+1 !...

+2 :-)

Tim, I have various Turnpike installation files tucked away. Shout if
you need one by e-mail. I also have the instructions for moving TP
from one machine to another, although that is also within the TP help
files.

OK. Thanks. I have 5.02 tucked away safely and tick *keep* on any
related posts in d.i.s.t I managed to transfer this version without
any major glitches. I have *entire* as a shortcut on my desktop and
managed a *repair installation* job recently.

I have a lot of important correspondence pending (probate job) and find
noisy hard drives a little frightening:-)

To the semi-literate, computer speak is a mystery minefield.
