From: rogeepete on 31 Jan 2010 10:03 Running WIN XP and OE6. Generally happy with OE6 but realize this is a dead program. Any reasons why I should not switch to WLM which I understand to be Microsoft's current replacement for OE6-8 Thanks -- Roger
From: Bruce Hagen on 31 Jan 2010 10:36 XP, if SP3 is installed, will be supported until April, 2014. Although dead, OE will receive security updates, if needed, until then. There is no reason not to, except "will you like it". Best answer for that is to try it. You can run WLMail and OE at the same time and download incoming mail to both if you want to give it a try. Sent messages will be only in the Sent Items folder for the e-mail client used to send. You can download it here if you wish. Windows Live Mail (Overview & Features): http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview I would suggest you subscribe to the WLMail newsgroup and read some of the posts & replies.

In OE or WLMail, (not both), check to Delete messages after X days to satisfy your allotted space you get from your server. Note that when you install WLMail, it will become the default e-mail client. If you want to reclaim OE as default, see this. Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Set Program Access and Defaults | Custom + Down Arrow | Select the radio button for Outlook Express. Make OE the default e-mail client: http://www.oehelp.com/oedef.aspx -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA "rogeepete" <arebarr(a)yahoo.com> wrote in message news:ECD5326A-B9F3-4BD7-B433-440CB2C5A3EF(a)microsoft.com... > Running WIN XP and OE6.

From: PA Bear [MS MVP] on 31 Jan 2010 10:31 OE6 hasn't been replaced and will continue to be supported (such as it is) through April 2014 when running in WinXP SP3. If you're hot to trade a buggy application that you know for an equally buggy application (with its own shortcomings*) that you don't know, switch to Wal-Mail. =============== * the TO line in a message will only auto-populate one of the last 29 contacts selected manually; shading of Read/Unread, etc., messages can be infuriating; each account has its own set of default folders (e.g., Inbox; Sent Items); etc. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Client - since 2002 rogeepete wrote: > Running WIN XP and OE6.
