Does Microsoft still do outlook express for windows 7.........?

[Gordon]

Is there any you can recommend that works like OE or WM? One that
doesn't include all kinds of confusing filters and makes adding email
accounts and Usenet accounts quick and easy? I don't want to spend days
trying new email clients again that neither myself or my family like or
can even figure out.

Thunderbird. as has been suggested - it's very easy to set up and you
can make it as simple or as complicated as you wish....

I can understand how a newly installed newsreader might download a lot
of old messages if it had not been told in advance to not do so. But
it's worrisome that the program was able to find 'years of old email
that you had deleted years back.' That means that you did NOT delete
the mail as you thought you did, but that it has been accumulating on a
server somewhere. That would be an issue for me - email is private
stuff that you want to keep track of. I suspect that you had OE set to
not delete email from the server after retrieval. I'd look into that if
I were you.

Great info, but I have a feeling it went well over D's head.

 

[Char Jackson]

That can only be your error. Attachments work for me and everyone else
I've seen use the feature.


I have no idea what a "NSP" is, but Thunderbird works just fine with
every major U.S. ISP that I've tried it with.

I assume it's a News Service Provider, (Usenet provider). Hard to
believe that one person could have as many problems as he/she has.

[Char Jackson]

Oh... that is a problem.

Why would it be a problem?

 

[Char Jackson]

Have you read other people's problems trying to get it to work on W-7?

I've mostly read of other people's success. One or two can't seem to
figure it out, but most who want to can get it done, it seems.

Have you tried it?

Heck no. The last thing I would want to try is WM or OE.

Plenty of other people have reported their success, so I'm confident
that it can be done, but you won't catch me doing it. There are far
too many better email & news clients out there. Good luck, though.

We are of the same mind! It has always boggled me that people would
willingly use OE, and I'll say the same for WM if it's anything like
OE.

That is because OE6 is super fast for one. And it has a view that no
other program has. That is to show only replies to your messages. Why
other programs miss this view is beyond me? I can read through and post
far faster with OE6 than with any other program. And I have tried
virtually all of them.

Sylpheed is a closer match to Outlook Express than Thunderbird.

The copy I took was WindowsMail from my Vista PC. Not the older OE from
XP.

Vista is where you are suppose to get parts from, and is where I did.
From what you mention above you seem to imply I said different? ..I did
not say use any parts from WXP, I only said WindowsMail is the same program
as Outlook Express from WXP but it's just been updated and incorporated
into Vista was my point, since the OP is asking if Outlook Express (which
WM actually is an updated OE) works on Win7, I'm saying with a little
modification yes it does, although of course it will never be security
updated appropriately or supported by MS or most likely anyone else, and so
for the Vast Majority of people that is a well understood problem, and for
most, rightly so.

[....]

I've already done all that and constantly get this error that one of the
.dlls can't be loaded or WM doesn't open at all. I can't find any info
there as to where to get a .dll that can open or how to get WM to show

Do you mean the msoe.dll ?

The link and instructions where to get the latest one is given within that
forum I gave links too.
....If, that's your problem I don't know?
Remember there are specific instructions to make the install change, and if
you don't do it right all these other problems come up.
This (OE) WM on Win7 project is not for everyone; I'd say for those who
have the know how is best.
Reading some of your posts above briefly, I see you already had WLM
installed, and that in itself can be a problem for those who want to
install/re-activate WM since WLM breaks it - There is a procedure to do,
one of which is to uninstall WLM, all of which is talked about in those
forum post, allbeit there are many. When I did the procedure last year I
did it on a fresh install of Win7 and it all worked fine and still does.
(Yes I know I'm posting from WXP OE right now, but that's just the computer
I'm posting here with is all, and so don't go by that) I'm an OE fan and
user, and I don't offer any pro's or con's or defend my actions either way,
it's just that I used OE from day one when it first came out so many years
ago, and I'm just plain to lazy to change what I like which is the complete
simplicity of it, period.

Also reading the end of that thread at the Win7 forums I see there is some
considerations for anyone who has had WM re-activated on Win7 but then
installs the Win7 SP1 update, and so there is a procedure to do there as
well (I still have not installed SP1 on my Win7 so I'm not there yet)

If you have any questions you should post at that forum, however, I can see
the posts there are slowing way down about this project, and the buzz to
keep the project or information going at the Win7 forums is lessening
dramatically since most people wont want the hassle nor the lack of support
for the project of running WM on Win7.

(There are other forums besides the links I gave you yesterday, and Not to
confuse the issue, but I see that msoe.dll is available at a Different
forum too, and I see there have some recent posts there I haven't read
except for the date stamp; however I think your issues are other than that,
but just for your information you can look here too)
http://www.mydigitallife.info/download-windows-mail-from-vista-for-use-in-windows-7/comment-page-2/

I'm sure there's more forums but I haven't had the need to keep up, yet

good luck,

Rick

I think it *is* "Valorie", that is, another sock puppet with the same

It installed but I can't get my email on that version. I get an
0x800CCC0F error.

Task 'server name - Sending and Receiving' reported error (0x800ccc0f): 'The
connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact
the server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP). The server
responded: ? K'

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes of
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Account. account name, Server: 'server name', Protocol: POP3,
Server Response: '+OK', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800ccc0f

These error messages may occur if (virtually any Microsoft email program)
cannot establish a connection with your e-mail server. These error messages
are frequently caused by one of the following:
You are not connected to the Internet or a network, or your mail server is
temporarily unavailable.
Your account settings are incorrect.
Your user profile in (the email program) is damaged.
An e-mail item on your POP3 server is damaged.
The configuration of your AV software is incorrect.
(your email program) was removed from the computer or the installation is
damaged.
The configuration of your personal firewall software is incorrect.

No question in my mind. The issues are the same, and no number of solutions
ever solves the problem(s).

When given a choice of using a pen, pencil, or crayon, some people
choose the crayon. Who am I to argue? ;-)

Yes, chalk it up to experience

I understand. But I only use WM for email and Usenet. I don't need all the
bells and whistles these other programs have. The information I was given by
another poster wont get WM to work on W-7. With Home Premium it's hard to
follow since the info given must be for the Pro version. That MSOE.dll will
not load not matter what I do. And now, WM doesn't even give that error. It
now does nothing so the W-7 PC sits here useless with no email/Usenet program
to use.

As the smiley should have indicated, I was trying to inject a bit of
irony...

I note from the odd quoting of my signature just above that your
newsreader handles signatures incorrectly - even bizarrely, I'd say. No
smiley for this remark...

I get the impression that he's actually trying to send the pix inline
in the message body, in which case the red x is probaly local to the
recipients. That is, their software can't or won't accept pictures
inline...Althogh I'm not sure about that, since I might be
misunderstanding something I've seen but never tried

Hello, I want to know if microsoft did put out an email program for
windows 7 64 bit? I tried outlook 2001, but found it bulky and a lot
of functions I'd never would use. I just want a simple Microsoft email
program like outlook express 6 TIA

Well, I tried it, sending test messages with Thunderbird, doing both
and an in-line picture and an attached picture. Both messages were
viewable with the pictures intact in Gmail and Comcast web mail, and
with Thunderbird and Pegasus mail after POPping them down to my
computer.

It's a moot point, anyway, because "D. Arlington"/"Valorie" is clearly
a lying troll in the first place.

Yeah, well...

But the recipients' software might not be the ones you tried...

And of course, I might be wrong in my guess, since I trusted my own
memory

 

[Nil]

Yeah, but my point was that Thunderbird knows how to properly include
pictures with email messages. If the recipient has trouble with them,
it's their problem, not Thunderbird's, contrary to the claims of our
troll-of-the-moment.
