Hello all. I'd like to know if there is an an email application that replaced Outlook Express in Windows 7 and if so, is there a way to transfer or copy our contacts list, inbox, drafts, junk mail, etc... to this application.

We currently are running Windows XP Pro 32 bit. I have no idea about this and any information would greatly be appreciated. I intend on purchacing Home Premium after first SP pack comes out.

Thanks,

D.

@ Drew, thanks.

So your saying with W7 if I had Office 2007 I'd still be able to use Outlook?




You think it may be a while for the first SP? I just don't want to run into problems like people had with Vista, if you know what I mean.

W/ Windows 7 you can either use Hotmail (or whatever other), Outlook (MS Office 2007) or Windows Live Mail (from Windows Live Essentials). There's no more mail handler by default in Win7.

You may be waiting a (very) long time for an SP for Windows 7
