Windows 7 SP1, Home Premium, 64-bit |
Outlook Express is not available on Windows 7. Forget about it.
Microsoft's replacement for it is "Windows Live Mail". I tried it and couldn't stand it. It's nowhere near as simple and understandable as Outlook Express, which I used and liked for 10 years.
I'd try Thunderbird, a free download from Mozilla.org. It's pretty simple and can be configured to look a lot like Outlook Express. Here is what it looks like on my PC.

I believe it can import Outlook Express archives, as it still uses the .eml extension on messages - and I know it's a lot simpler and faster to install than the hacks to make Vista's Mail client work in Seven.
How safe is Windows Mail in Seven anyway? Since it's a hack surely there are no security patches for it, as they'd only be palmed down to Vista users  | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom built machine
