Microsoft Outlook Express

Pros: easy to use, free w/ windows, stationary,
Cons: opens attachments automatically, MSN messanger

I used to be an avid Juno user until a few months ago, when I began experiencing difficulties with their service. Because I already had a Pop3 account with our ISP (Netzero), I decided to try Microsoft's Outlook Express, which was already installed on...

Pros: Its everywhere and runs most of the world's e-mail traffic
Cons: Until now was very prone to viral worm attack

As The Nursery Rhyme Goes
Microsoft Changes Its Outlook


The worms came in. The worms came out.
The worms wreaked havoc without a doubt.
Got choked by mail; couldn’t catch their breath.
The servers died, an untimely...

Pros: Free, easy-to-use, and functional e-mail client
Cons: None that I've seen

Microsoft may have made a mistake with its recent versions of Outlook Express. You see, Outlook Express comes bundled for free along with just about every other Microsoft product, including all recent versions of Windows (Me, NT, and 2000), as far as...

Pros: Really comprehensive Tools!
Cons: No auto-detection of virus laden attachments!

My daddy used to tell me, “Burn me once, shame on you. Burn me twice, shame on me.” I usually got a dose of this witty little ditty when I would burn my finger twice on the stove, or stub my toe again because I was running around barefoot. “See,” he’d...

Pros: It's free, has some basic newsreader features.
Cons: Full of annoying bugs Microsoft can't seem to be bothered to fix.

I used Outlook Express as my newsreader for a while. It has some useful basic newsreader features that are probably in most newsreaders (though maybe not in all free newsreaders). But over the years, I've built up quite a list of the annoying ...

Pros: excellent features, great enhancements, ability to totally personalize
Cons: very few

Sometimes the best things in the world are free. The trick is to be able to find the “free” goodies.

Truth be told, Microsoft Outlook Express is not free. It is part of the Windows Operating System package that comes with your...

Pros: a lot of functions, and easy to use
Cons: A lot of functions to get used to

I have used a lot of e-mail products, and let me tell you, Outlook Express has proven to be one of the better ones that I have used. I was looking for an e-mail client to produce an easy to use format, no fuss no muss. I found it all right here.
...

Pros: the best in my opinion for e-mail
Cons: none

This is the e-mail program that I use and I would like to say that it is pretty good. It may not be the best out there but it definitely gets the job done. The only thing that it doesn't do that I would like it to is send e-mail under fake names. I...

Pros: Almost every feature imaginable
Cons: Apparently Security isn't one of them

Don't get me wrong about this one. At this writing, I am currently using the full version of Microsoft Outlook as my email client. But while thinking this afternoon, I have decided that I am going to change that over the weekend.

Is it...

Pros: Easy to use and versatile
Cons: Many features I don't even touch

I am not the computer tech in our house it's my husband, he's a systems administrator to be exact. However I am somewhat computer savvy having worked in administration for 8 years before I had my son, and now that I'm home I am utilizing many of...

Pros: Works perfectly fine and it's fast; free.
Cons: Security problems out the ears.

Well, here's a little program that's a favorite of virus developers everywhere. Do I use this? Yep. Does that worry me? Not really -- I turned off my Windows scripting and don't open any odd attachments. Still, folks who write viruses seem to find...

Pros: great organizer of email
Cons: hard to set up, if your email account does not do it automatically

Like many people who don't know much about computers I never used to understand Outlook Express. It was just one of those numerous programs on my computer that I never even opened up, let alone setup.

A couple of months ago I found out that...

Pros: Free. Loaded with good features, very intuitive.
Cons: Microsoft. Import features sort of buggy

I'll admit I'm a fairly picky e-mail user. After working for Lotus for 3 years and being completely spoiled by using Lotus Notes for everything, I've sort of lost all patience for buggy or hard to use e-mail clients. It took me a while before even trying...

Pros: Easy to use, lots of helpful options and adjustments, well designed, good looking, compatible with MS IE
Cons: sometime has problems when logging onto the mail server

I've been using Outlook Express ever since I got my first copy of Windows 98 and I must say that it really is a very good product.

Before I started sending and receiving my mail using the Outlook Express I used to use other mail clients, like...

Pros: Simple yet powerful.
Cons: Perhaps not quite enough features for large businesses, etc.

When I first got my computer it came with a version of Outlook already installed on it. This program was so huge and complex (for me, the new computer user, anyway), that I ended up saying "forget it" and switching to a web-based e-mail...
