[Blindtlk] accessible email

[Heather Field]

Hello Michael,
As someone who has walked this miserable road, I would advise you not to 
touch Outlook with a barge pole. The cost is not worth it if you just want 
an email program. It takes a lot of setting up and has a whole lot of 
components you won't use. It also has annoying aspects like choosing 
Microsoft Word as a reader. I don't even know half the issues that caused it 
not to read my emails properly. I just couldn't waste the time and effort on 
making it work as my email program. That's all I wanted. Windows Live Mail 
works more like Outlook Express though you do have to get used to the 
ribbon. That means the keyboard commands have more keys in each one. For 
example, the command to check for new mail is alt+h+t+s+a. There are lots 
more of those long strings if you want to edit your contacts etc. However, 
most of the time I simply read and send emails. So, for me, it works fine.
I advise you to skip Outlook unless you need a calendar, scheduler, journal, 
contacts management suite etc. It's not worth the hassle of the learning 
curve, or the money, if all you want is an email program.

Regards,
Heather Field


I would go with Windows Live Mail till you can get back to Outlook express.

I've used Outlook Express for the simplicity of use with email and I am 
moving to Windows 7.0 from XP and am wondering which email server offers the 
greatest ease of use.  If I go to Microsoft Outlook from Outlook Express, 
can I still have access to all of my previous emails?  I understand that 
Outlook Express will once again be a part of Windows 8.0 and will definitely 
switch to it when I upgrade my operating system

Any thoughts?
Michael.
