Anyone using this with Win7.
I've just got a new PC and looking for a new e-mail programme that will run on Win7, I'm trying to use Microsoft Outlook but having problems as it's not supported by Win7 anymore and I don't really want to use Windows Live and Outlook.com.
All I want is a good stand-alone program, easy to use that just does e-mail.

Thanks for any help

John

Hi John

I've been using Thunderbird forever and it works fine with Win7.

I thought it was Outlook Express that wasn't supported on W7. Outlook should run fine.

It was Microsoft Outlook, part of Windows Office (an old version) I was using. It's a bit confusing having 'Outlook' in several similar programs.

My version of Outlook (from office 2002) would not run on Win 7 either. I also went with thunderbird which is fine.

I use Motzilla Thunderbird and had no problems until a recent update,when because I live in Spain it changed the language to Spanish and I can't get back to the English as before.Any ideas how I solve this.Spanish is not a problem to me but when I type in English I would like to use the spellcheck which I can't at the moment.Thanks ....Eddy

My friend runs Outlook 2007 on her W7 laptop ok. It appears that it is ok from Outlook 2003 onwards. I find Gmail to be ok.
