Transition from Outlook/Office 2007
Hello!
I use an old Dell PC with Windows 7 Professional and Outlook 2007/Office 2007.
I also have a current Apple laptop and use gmail and Outlook 365 for work (two different jobs - two different email systems). I am familiar with all three. I also use Office 365.
I prefer my locally-based Outlook 2007 to browser-based gmail and Outlook 365. I like the way the 2007 platform is organized, the search capabilities and the functionality. I like the fact the email is local and not browser-based. I do not care about auto-internet synching on different devices for this particular email. I also like the Outlook 2007 calendar and contacts. My Outlook 2007 preference is not driven by privacy concerns (although i try to avoid gmail because I don't appreciate their scanning of our emails to serve up ads), I just appreciate the reliability and searchability of all emails locally on my PC.
My PC is getting old and I will need to upgrade to a machine with Windows 10. Can anyone recommend an email client that might give me the feel of Outlook 2007? I think I would prefer a non-browser based email system, but I would be open to a browser-based system too.
Or does anyone know if I could continue to use Outlook 2007 on the new Windows 10 machine?
Frankly, i also like working locally on Office 2007 (instead of in Office 365 and the cloud).
I know I sound like an old dog refusing to learn the new tricks but I feel I have used Gmail and 365 (for at least 5 years) and I just don't like either one as well.
Thanks in advance!
Lisa
