Hello:

I am using Microsoft's Windows XP (SP3) platform and Outlook Express 6
(OE6) is my main email application.
Recently I installed Internet Explorer 8 and so I am wondering if OE6 has a
corresponding upgrade to say OE7 or OE8.

* Can Outlook Express 6 (OE6) be upgraded to say Outlook Express 7 or 8
?
* If this upgrade is possible; I am interested in how to do it ?
* Can Microsoft Outlook client work as a stand alone application or do I
need the Server also ?

I like OE6 but I need to be able to add audio alarms (using message rules)
when certain emails arrive. Thus the need to upgrade
from OE6 to something higher.


Thanks,
JoJo.

OE is history. No more updates. No new versions. I would suggest using
Thunderbird as it is a FAR superior product to Outhouse Distress. It has
an excellent junk filter, corrects your spelling as you type and has
hundreds of add ons like a calendar and a to do function. Get it at
http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird.

OE6 is it, no more to come. It has been replaced (for all intents and
purposes) by Windows Live Mail.

Outlook can be used as a stand-alone application, no problem. Keep in mind
that to access newsgroups with it, you'll need one of the add-ons, such as
this http://www.mapilab.com/outlook/nntp/ , or use a separate program
altogether.

There are also plenty of non-Microsoft email and newsreader clients, and a
number of email/newsreader combos. Run a few of them and see which works
best for what you are trying to do.

You've done a good job of multiposting this same question everywhere.
