David, perhaps you misunderstood me, I didn't say I had any problems with Outlook, only that I wouldn't use the latest Outlook.com I had Outlook for several years (Office 2000 if I remember rightly), then used Outlook Express (I can't recall why I changed to OE now but think it was change of computer and the need for a further licence) I used OE for several years and was apprehensive when I found it wouldn't work with Win 7, so knowing the inevitable would happen at some point and XP would die I went over to Thunderbird, not only was it like OE but I found it far better and have stayed with it I was under the impression that Outlook went west when Outlook Express did with Win 7 so thanks for straightening that out Was I right in saying that Outlook is part of MS Office ? For the average user I think the original Outlook did far more than was needed, I can't speak for its web based version Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 13/07/2014 18:16, [email protected] wrote: > Nivard, > > Just a clarification, your statement that "neither work with Windows 7" is > not quite correct.
