Sorry..saw something here a while ago but didn't clue in, POKO, Greetings from a very cold Alberta. Windows Live Mail has a calendar and a pretty good email client. I have only just looked at it myself and set one system up for a friend, it seems to work pretty well, and once set up is pretty darn simple. -- HK

T-Bird is on deck, and the move is almost complete. The issue is that I sync several PC's to a single email db set so the move is a bit more complicated than it normally would be. I did try WLM on XP, but the color combination is very hard on the eyes, and customization is a joke. Looks okay on Win7 though, go figure. Re: Alberta Clippers; I accept no responsibility for it personally. Remember, we get it before we send it on to you guys to take some of the bit out of it. As it is we're actually doing you Easterners a favor ;) -- HK

OL is also a POP client. I've had various versions of OL installed on my XP box since XP was released and only used it as a POP client for email. Bob

However, MAPI doesn't have anything to do with a POP or IMAP email client iot is a message programming interface like VIM. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp |
