I've used Outlook express since it came out in Internet Explorer 4-6 bundled
with Win 95 up to Win XP. Vista had Windows Mail, which was not the same as
Outlook express but quite similar. I used Vista for a while, and I liked it
OK.
I mostly use Win XP on my desktop and win 7 on my laptop for newer
programs.. I've never opened attachments in OE from the time I first used
it. I've never used the address book as it caused problems for a lot of
people, more in the beginning of Outlook express. its not as convenient not
to use an address book, but it's saved me a lot of problems. Also, what I
like about OE is the mail and newsreader is all on the same page, so you can
download both at the same time. I haven't tried win 8 and don't know if I
ever will.
With win 7, there is no mail reader, so sometimes use Yahoo on win 7. But I
don't like the setup of it.
I've never used Mozilla or Thunderbird. For newsreader, I've used Aioe for
many years and found it to be very good. Also a good newsreader is Eternal
September except now many Usenet groups have died out. I always thought they
were a good idea, but I guess lots of people didn't.
