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

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.

As a plain email client, it's just about OK.

But the Lightening Calendar add-in is pants with .hotmail accounts -
can't seem to create entries on the server side (and therefore propagate
them to a mobile client).

Not tried with hotmail accounts, but managed it ok with a google one.


Haven't the *zilla foundation just dropped Thunderbird from their suite ?
Which struck me as the most bizarre way forward, given that Outlook is -
and always has been - the centrepiece of MS Office.

ISTR they moved it from active development of new stuff to maintenance
only a while back.
