Now here's an interesting dilemma...

It appears that Outlook 2002 and 2003 require Outlook Express. I seem to recall that dependency and just confirmed it:
»support.microsoft.com/kb/287686/

I also recall that Microsoft claimed Office 2003 will run on Vista although it is not supported.

But now I'm wondering if Office 2007 is going to be the minimum level of Office for Windows 7. I hate Office 2007 and would really want to stay with the older ones! :(
I was using Outlook 2003 on Vista 64 with no problems. Outlook Express was certainly not part of Vista 64.

I hear that Windows Live Mail is a fine application for email, I am just used to using Outlook.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-WIN7-Outlook-express-under-Windows-7-22542193 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 17:27:12 EDT Re: [WIN7] Outlook express under Windows 7? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-WIN7-Outlook-express-under-Windows-7-22542046 said by NormanS:

Okay, I am being facetious. I'd rather have my files, and such, locally stored, and locally accessible, regardless of whether my Internet connection is up, or not. At least I have the illusion of being in control of my data.

Okay, don't you guys think that Computer Based eMail, like Outlook Express, is obsolete? Server Based eMail, like Hotmail or Web Mail, is better especially with all the Junk and Spam out there. You don't download this eMail you keep it on the eMail Server. I know that Computer Based eMail is more convenient and easier to use, but Server Based eMail is a lot more secure and some provide outstanding Filters.
I think each has its place. I use Outlook 2007 and rarely get spam. I have 5 accounts that all get pulled down at once. Why bother logging in 5 different times?

To the OP, you can download and use Live Mail. Its pretty close to OE and Windows Mail and works as advertised. I just like Thunderbird better.

Since there no longer will be any OE or Windows Mail, do you (or anyone else) know if backup/restore programs specifically utilized with those apps such as Express Assist will work with Windows Live Mail?

TIA!

I believe it has MSIMN installed on it, if not, it's a trivial thing to add. The only thing is that you need a processor with virutalization extensions.

I recieved this email from Mircosoft about OE6 couple weeks ago, this is 2nd time they try too change it,

Dear James.
You are receiving this note because you have used Microsoft Office Outlook, Outlook Express, or Entourage to view your Windows Live Hotmail®. Microsoft is changing the way these programs access Hotmail e-mail which will require you to take action.

To continue to receive e-mail from your Hotmail account, please select one of the alternative solutions below before September 1, 2009. After this day, new e-mail can only be delivered to your mail programs through the following alternative solutions.

If you use Microsoft Office Outlook to view Hotmail, you can download free Office Outlook Connector to continue accessing your Windows Live Hotmail within Outlook 2003 or 2007. If you're using Outlook 2002, you will need to change the settings on your program to access your Hotmail. Click here to learn more.

If you use Outlook Express to view Hotmail, you can choose to download free Windows Live Mail (recommended) or change the settings on your program to access your Hotmail within Outlook Express. Click here to learn more about your options.

If you use Entourage to view Hotmail, you can change the settings in your program to view your e-mail. Click here to learn more.

Don't know what you're using to view Hotmail? Have more questions? View the FAQ page or visit the Community Forum.

Why is this happening? Outlook, Outlook Express, and Entourage use a legacy communications method (known as the DAV protocol) to access Hotmail. Because the DAV protocol is not optimally suited for programs to access large inboxes such as Hotmail which now provides users ever-growing storage*, new alternatives have been built. Last year, customers asked us to postpone plans to retire the DAV protocol until more options were available. Now that these options (including the POP3 protocol) are available, we are ready to retire the DAV protocol.

Thank you for using Windows Live Hotmail.

Sincerely,]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-WIN7-Outlook-express-under-Windows-7-22539428 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 10:08:38 EDT Re: [WIN7] Outlook express under Windows 7? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-WIN7-Outlook-express-under-Windows-7-22539423 --

I can verify that Office 2003 works fine on Windows 7. I am using it now, with Outlook 2003 as my preferred mail program.
Thanks for that info! I can only imagine, then, that the necessary components must still be there even if Outlook Express isn't, even if only to provide backward compatibility. Is it possible that Microsoft actually did this right? :D :o
