Need new free email program (client)

mtnchild · 28 Jul 2014, 09:29 AM

My computer died a while back ... new computer (rebuilt-big mistake) I've upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7. I was using Outlook Express for my email and now it isn't available anymore. My email is through charter.net and I want to keep that extension. Does anyone know of a free service that does what Outlook Express did? I do NOT want to change to yahoo.com or anything else - Please does anyone have a few suggestions?

Good news is what you need is software, not a service. Your service is charter.net. The replacement for Outlook Express is Windows Live Mail.

I'm in the process of downloading essentials and will see how it works for me. Thank you.

I would recommend Thunderbird or FossaMail (from Pale Moon). I used them for years now and have no problems with any email service.
