Thanks for the link PA Bear.

WLM won't give you a choice, it will import all

I fairly sure that the newsgroup messages will
not import.
OE user created folders will be placed under
Storage folders.
I had to open Contacts and import addresses.
Some addresses were
duplicated
and some did not have a display name.

Michael, does WLM import OE6 folders, messages,

newsgroups etc directly and easily?

There is no mail program with IE7.

Microsoft's new preferred free mail client is
called Windows Live Mail
(WLM). It's available for XP SP2+ and Vista.
It provides access to all
Hotmail accounts, as well as POP3, IMAP and
NNTP.

Windows Live Mail Overview
http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

Outlook Express isn't dead, but it's on life
support. Microsoft will
continue to provide security fixes as long as
they do for XP. There
might be an occasional minor fix, but no
further development is being
done on OE.

But as long as you are happy with the
non-Hotmail parts of OE (POP3,
IMAP, NNTP, Address book) as they are now,
those will all continue to
work indefinitely. None of it is dependent on
what Microsoft does.

Thanks guys for the info. I read it on the
net
after I got the info
that the grandfathered Hotmail accounts would
have
to use Mail 7,
I think that's what they call it...the one
that
comes with IE7. But
there was info that both Hotmail and OE was
going
away. Makes
sense as Outlook is old too.

Since Outlook Express is going away (?) so I
heard
can I get some recommendation for a new mail
program
that is similar? I have tried Outlook but it
doesn't give
the flexibility for multiple folders and with
a
main folder.
Thanks !

You're so sweet PA Bear. I think you've been
around as long as I have.
I'm just getting older and haven't been keeping up
with the current
trends since I retired. Somedays I really feel
like a newbie.
P.S....What does YW stand for ?

They will not remove OE from your machine, but they won't update it besides
(maybe) security updates. WinXP SP3 does update it.
