For many years I have used Windows Live Mail. However, I bought a new
Acer laptop last week and have been unable to install it because MS no
longer supports it. I tried to transfer it from my old computer but not
having the .exe file in my Downloads folder I am stumped. Can anyone
offer me guidance in this regard. I am computer literate but by no
means
an expert. My thanks in advance.

This link still seems to allow a download:

I was looking for an "outlook express" clone for windows 7 and 10 but you
have to pay for it.....can't beat outlook express ......


I think you can.....Mozilla Thunderbird.

hate it... just tried OE Classic ...not bad but not as good as OE ....

It's all down to preference.

I use Thunderbird at home and Outlook at work, I prefer Thunderbird. If
it wasn't available, I'd use Outlook happily enough.
