    Can Outlook Express be used under Windows 7?


    Is it possible to run Outlook Express under Windows 7?

    I much prefer Outlook Express and I am not very happy with Windows Live Mail 2011.

    Not natively, no.. the best you can do is to run XP in a VM...

    If you liked (i.e. tolerated) the previous version (2009/2010) you can uninstall 2011 and go back to the previous WLE suite of applications (no mixing with 2011 though):
