I didn't realize that Win 7 does not have an email program. What are you all working with?

well I decided to go with Thunderbird. I had a little difficulty getting my old emails out of Outlook from my old machine to my new machine. I could export the outlook *.pst file and copy it over but then I couldn't import it into TB because it did not see Outlook on my new machine. So after some research (doh!) I installed TB on my old machine and imported the *.pst from outlook to there. I then copied the TB mail folder onto my new machine and renamed a couple of paths in a config file and presto! I have all my emails andmy address book from Outlook on my new machine.

Here is a step by step link if anyone else is thinking of doing something similar.

Legal: use mozilla Thunderbird or whatever it;s called.

Before you buy anything try Open Office!

http://www.openoffice.org/

I've used this for years and, for home use, it is sufficient!
Specimen-OMO Posted - Nov 13 2009 : 05:10:29
looking at everything..

Free as in you don't want to pay for it, or free as in they don't charge for it?

Ah, so what did you pick Specimen?
Cadaver-OMO Posted - Nov 11 2009 : 16:03:34
Yeah, and they didn't try to replace TRS-DOS with TRS Vista or TRS 7 either!

I think the only TRS-80 that existed in my home town during that time was at our high school, and I used to spend the occasional afternoon after 7th grade school in the math classroom goofing around with it. Lots of time spent rewinding and loading games from cassette tapes.

At home, I cut my teeth programming writing BASIC on the TRS-80's "white trash" cousin, the ZX81 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinclair_ZX81), compliments of my dad. He was working as an administrator for Boise Cascade, but he was a computer geek at heart. I miss the old days when those of us who knew how to use computers were made fun as the nerds , but secretly represented the elite class :)
Bedpan-OMO Posted - Nov 11 2009 : 12:43:25
The Trash 80 was a great machine! Had one once!
Cadaver-OMO Posted - Nov 11 2009 : 00:11:25
Don't knock the TRS-80, either... you can play Zork with all of the graphics set to "high" :D

Don't laugh, I still have the original Atari Pong and it still works..
Cadaver-OMO Posted - Nov 10 2009 : 14:40:11
I use my 2600 as my hot-rod, gaming rig BP... otherwise its my TRS-80 :)

Mozilla Firefox is IMHO vastly superior to the crud they call "Internet Explorer".
Bedpan-OMO Posted - Nov 10 2009 : 12:19:15
Cadaver you neanderthal you! XP, ha! You still use your Atari 2600?
Cadaver-OMO Posted - Nov 10 2009 : 00:18:02
That's one thing that is not appealing to me about Windows 7, taking away the desktop programs and trying to coax you into Windows Live. Did you notice they got rid of the photo organizer they had in Vista (can't remember what it's called) as well? It was one of the features that was actually well-received. It ticks me off; I want a desktop OS, not cloud-computing. I'm still on XP and don't have anything Windows-live running at all. I want my photos to reside on my hard drive, period.

Regarding your question, Spec... I've never been a huge Mozilla fan, but I too am running Thunderbird. It has a calendar add-on called Lightning. Both of them togethor aren't bad, plus there is a lifetime money-back guarantee... To be fair, the whole open-source-community thing behind Mozilla makes me want to retch almost as much as MS trying to force cloud-computing down my throat. The brief time I spent running Firefox had me feeling like I was running a program developed in someone's basement rather than being a quality web browser. Thunderbird isn't quite so bad, and right now it represents the lesser of all the evils for me.

Google mail is my favorite and I've used Hotmail for years as well, both are very good. Microsoft does have an email program for Win7; it's in the Windows Live Essentials free download package.

I guess what I hate about Outlook is I have suffered numerous crashes in the past few years and I always seem to lose my email. Since I am too lazy to put them into other files I tend to have numerous folders within outlook. So, I I lose the hd, then I'm shafted. However, I did one smart thing lately. I got the program Carbonite that backs up everything on all my computers, even email. So, now I don't worry so much.....but, we'll see next time everything crashes, if it lives up to its hype. For 50 bucks a year...very good investment.

Sorry, got off on a tangent..

Using Web based E-mail now. That way I don't have to worry about moving files around anymore.

Hotmail for our primary stuff, only cause we've had the address for so long, changing it would be a pita. Gmail for everything else.

Took sometime abandoning Outlook/Hotmail, but now I kinda like ti this way.
