Web based interfaces mean that if you have several addresses with different
providers you have to keep logging in and out of different sites and of
course the format can be changed at will which is really irritating.

For many years I have used Windows Live Mail. However, I bought a

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

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.
