There's nothing in the class of Outlook freeware POKO, if you mean Outlook and not Outlook Express. If he owns the licence for Outlook on XP, why not just install it on Windows 7? unless it's OEM. Otherwise, if you can afford it, buy it. The way of mucho less pain. Dead easy to transfer existing mail, contacts, calendar, blah as well. No brainer. -- Le Stubb

OE's followup from MS was WindowsMail which came in Vista. MS has also now ceased development of WindowsMail in favor of WindowsLiveMail. I don't think you can download Windows Mail for Win7. If you are talking about OE not OL but are saying Outlook when you mean to say Outlook Express, then Win7 is 'designed' to jump into Windows Live Essentials which includes Windows Live Mail which is as much like OE Outlook Express as you are going to get. I am talking about OE Outlook Express but you are saying Outlook -- which discrepancy you are ignoring. -- Mike Easter
