    Seriously. Does anybody use this? I've never met anybody who claimed to use it, or heard of anyone using it.

    Posted here to attain maximum muppetry, which I feel appropriate considering the manufacturer.

    And yet it's everywhere. I've never even tried to use it - GMail ftw - and it's supposedly very unsafe to use in terms of malware.

    ECDL course is a loads of balls too. This proves it.

    Any version of Outlook - I thought they were all called Express, but it seems I was wrong.

    Its crap. I use "Windows Live Mail" application from msn instead.
    Catches 95% spam better alone and is clearer to use.

    I have used it.
    I have set it up for people who wanted to access their internet mail account once or a few times a day yet still have access to all their mails all the time. Would have been used back in the old days of dial up, connect to the internet at set times a day download all mail, then end internet connection.

    Its not very good, but is easy enough to use and comes free with windows.

    I think it's quite good. I use it in work, I think it is far superior to hotmail & gmail. It's so much easier and quicker to use and the features are better.

    Outlook express was the mail client bundled with XP originally(dunno if they took it out of later builds) and absolutely shite.Think it was mainly to tease those who didnt have Office
    Thunderbird FTW!!!

    I'm pretty young, and never needed to use it. Is it true that it downloads emails? Or is that a previous version?
