Have you considered Mozilla Thunderbird? It's still supported, operates

Sorry, but no, you can't do that. You might want to download and try
the free Windows Live Mail, which is a descendant of OE, and somewhat
similar to it.

Go to control panel---add/remove programs---on left side click add/remove
