"Best" is subjective. What's best for you is whatever suits your needs. I
ended up with Windows Live Mail. I don't exactly like it but I dislike it
less than the others I tried. It was the only one that sorted my various
e-mail accounts into separate folders.

Pegasus: www.pmail.com

Both free and feature-rich.

I tried Live Mail as a replacement for OE but did not like it one bit.

If you want a combined emai; and newsreader then Thunderbird is the way
to go as far as I am concerned. I have both Tbird and Mozilla's
Seamonkey installed and can't tell much if any difference between them
as far as email and newsreading go. Seamonkey might be a little easier
to set up and then again it might not.

You won't regrest Thunderbird. Go for it.

Windows Mail looks just like OE, including work groups, but keeps the
messages and contacts in a different way - no more "dbx" files. I upgraded
my Vista laptop to 32 bit W7, then put Windows Mail on it. If you Google
for "windows mail on windows 7" you can find two files that you must run
before you try to use Windows Mail on W7. They are named "Windows Mail.reg"
and "Windows Mail2.reg". I've been using mine with Windows Mail ever since
W7 came out. Since you are apparently running XP you will need to do the
Outlook Express to Windows Mail import process.

I didn't like Live Mail either. I have never used OE so I can't
compare them. I've use Agent for both newsgroups and email since 1995
and IMO nothing else compares.

My problem is that my main e-mail address is Hotmail (and has been for many
years). MS has such a tight grip on it that I can't funnel the @hotmail.com
into a separate folder. Last time I tried TBird it only worked sporadically
with Hotmail.

Have to agree with you there, I've done the same and it's still to be
beat.

Hotmail can be downloaded straight into T'bird now that they've
enabled pop.

Settings are;
pop3.live.com
Port; 995

I know; I've done that. But it won't download all the separate folders I've
created over time. I wish Hotmail would allow me to forward so I could make
a gradual transition to GMail.

I don't understand.....

In TB, each account has a section about where to put
messages.....

......and then there's also mail filters, which will allow you
to move/copy messgaes when received to, ti looks like, any
folder at all.

Are you saying that the message filters don't work using a
Hotmail POP configuration ?

Ah..I see, never used Hotmail, so I'm not sure what to suggest. If you
moved the mail that you want into your general inbox would that maybe
allow you to download them. Once you've got them make new folders in
T'bird.

I tried Thunderbird but couldn't get it to work and the people who are
supposed to help are damn snooty and would not explain things. They were
the same when I tried out the web browser a couple of years ago as well.
Windows Live mail takes a bit of getting used to after OE but it is OK for
Usenet and would be fine if the windows could be arranged - I can't imagine
why they didn't allow that as it is a trivial thing to program. ( I must
admit though, after OE it is a big relief not to get 100 spams a day on my
new ISP - don't know how long that will last but the anti spam looks good.)
