This mail program looks VERY interesting. Could be helpful with all Windows versions.

Just ran across this linked from a post in my genealogical mailing list. Looks like it could solve a lot of problems of losing email format when changing OS.

I am using Outlook right now, not really loving it.

Really easy transition from Outlook Express to Thunderbird. Virtually the same interface. I went to Thunderbird years ago and never looked back. Mozbackup is a great program too (although I should let some of my bookmarks go, they do accumulate beyond reason, over time).
