No mail client with windows 7!!!

[jonathanx54]

I've been using outlook for a while and they suddenly took it out. What would be a good thing to use or is there anything?

Windows Live Mail or you can install microsoft office and use microsoft outlook.

Everything you need is right here:

Or you can use Mozilla Thenderbird...

I use Windows Live Mail. It is similar to Outlook.

Microsoft Office 2010 Beta just came out, just download that, Outlook 2010 comes "bundled" with it.

Or if you liked Windows Mail you can turn it on in Windows 7. Follow the link below for instructions.

Utter rubbish.

Why wouldn't you just download Windows Live Mail directly from Microsoft and skip the third party hack?

I use mozilla as my web browser. What is thunderbird like?

When we upgraded to Windows 7, we had the same dilemma. We downloaded the Windows Live mail and we couldn't be happier with it. It is faster and you can link your other mail accounts to it. Definitely worth the try since it is free.

Windows Mail is probably the closest thing to Outlook and it is free. I am using it and so far I am happy with it.

Windows Live Mail includes the familiar features of Windows Mail, the mail program in Windows Vista, plus new features such as the ability to automatically configure itself to work with some of the most popular e‑mail services, including Windows Live Hotmail, Yahoo!, AOL, and Gmail.

So yeah...

Outlook express and Microsoft Mail (it has been mail since Vista actually) are kind of crappy apps in my opinion. There are some nice free open source ones (like Thunderbird) which are better.

Windows Mail is the new version of Outlook express that was introduced when Vista was released. It's automatically installed on Vista. It's okay for basic or home use but Outlook is the one to use for Business or Commercial use.

It was "Mail" in Vista, yes, but it's "Windows Live Mail" now.

Again:

Live Mail is by far the best that's come from Microsoft yet.

Mozilla thunderbird is also a very nice and very simple program for mails.Here take a look:

Can you add Hotmail, Yahoo!, AOL, and Gmail accounts to Firebird?

As long a it supports POP or IMAP which I know gmail does, as I use gmail on my thunderbird client. I think Hotmail and Yahoo do too, not too sure about AOL though.
