For WAY over a decade, I've used nothing but Outlook Express, and since I'm on my XP machine now, that's what I'm still using.
But, on any OS from Win-7 to Windows 8.1, I've used "Windows Mail", by tweaking it (Hacking it) to make it work.
However I can't get it to work on Windows 10 (yet) so I'm using Windows Live Mail, a part of Windows Essentials.
I don't like that as well as Windows Mail, but it works, and runs all day, checking my GMail accounts (five) every three minutes, so I never have to go hunting for my email. It's always on my screen when I want to read it. Every time a new email comes in, from GMail, my PC tells me, "You've got mail!" in a friendly female voice. I can hear that, even when I'm working outside. Neat!
I wish someone would write a Clone of Outlook Express that would work with Windows 10. How hard could that be?
Cheers mates!
