I would give thunderbird another go. Its really easy to use, and configures your mails accounts etc.
I've never liked Outlook express, always preferred MS Outlook which I had in an previous version of office when I was using Win me, and then Windows mail with vista.
With windows 7 my current os, I've tried windows live mail, but hated and uninstalled it. I can't see the need for any "live essentials" for me. I've been using Thunderbird ever since, and am happy with it, now I'm used to it.0 -
I use windows live mail - I had to change from OE when I got W7.
Like OP I don't like change - but actually WLM is essentially a web based version of OE and is almost identical to use. Definitely worth trying if having problems with OEI'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.0 -
Which version of Thunderbird have you got, All my deleted mails go into my deleted files folder (Except when I use Shift Delete then they go to the deleted files folder in the sky). Go to tools options account settings Signature is in the first section. It also shows how many files are downloading if you use View / Status Bar, and also the new mail icon on the taskbar tells you.It has Live installed on it but its not the same as outlook express. Thunderbird may be good for some but Im used to OE. In OE I can see how many emails are downloading, my deleted emails go into my deleted file, in thunderbird they just have a line put through them, I cant figure out how to put a signature in, have read receipts. I just want my good old outlook express back:(
