So far, so good. However we did have a problem importing old emails. I needed them because of genealogy info stored in the way of correspondence from others, etc. I answer queries for our genealogy society and there were many emails relative to queries received. I thought my external hard drive backup also would back up emails but it didn't. I have connected the old computer to power along with an old monitor, can get to all my old emails this way and copy and paste into Word information from them. We live and learn, don't we?

I found Windows Live Mail to be very similar to the old Outlook Express which I really liked and didn't have much trouble adjusting to it at all. Hope it will work that way for you as well.
