On return to this newsgroup after a long absence through illness from
computer, just horrified to read OE no longer supported at Microsoft.
Should I be changing to Outlook or what? & would that involve a great deal
of re-learning for this ageing 'silver surfer', using Windows XP home
edition?

No need to panic, not supported does not mean "dead", it means that MS are
developing a new Operating System to take over from XP, called Windows
Vista, that has a new mail client called Windows Mail, very similar to OE,
it is available for testing

Do not install on your main machine!!

Windows updates will still offer security patches but possibly no bug fixes
for OE?
