    Use of Outlook Express in Windows 7


    Can Outlook Express be used in Windows 7, preferably as my default email? Can OE be downloaded for free? TIA,Grover Hughes

    Windows Mail (Vista) and Windows Live Mail (part of the Windows Live Essentials suite) are renamed versions of Outlook Express. They're even built from the same codebase and use the same version numbers.

    Outlook Express can not be used in Windows 7.

    Windows Live mail is the new mail client for Windows 7.

    Also Office Outlook or a number of third party programs..
