Windows 8 (.1) and Windows 10 are bringing an email app with them again: Application – Runs in full screen in Windows 8 (.1) and in window (and optionally full screen only) in Windows 10. As announced on the “Windows Essentials” page, Microsoft is no longer offering the package for download. However, users will find a download link in the start menu: if you enter “Mail” there, you will find the entry “Download Windows Live Essentials from the Internet” (the Essentials package includes Windows Live Mail, among other things).
Not only does Windows 7 have fewer lines of code and system services than Vista, but it also gets rid of Windows Movie Maker and email clients. Windows 7 relies on the Vista source code, although its scope has been scaled back: the code diet should make the system faster than its predecessor, which was criticized as slow. It is placed in a prominent place in the start menu: in the upper part there is the entry “Internet” (and under the weakest line “Internet Explorer”), under it is the entry “Email” (you can read below the weakest line “Windows Mail”). OE has not been around since Windows Vista: Microsoft replaced it with Windows Mail. The original Outlook Express can be found in Windows XP. In addition to more email text below, you can read in a column to the right: If you started in Windows XP OE, you already have mail: “Microsoft Outlook Express Team” sends you a message with the title “Hello”.
The icons in the icon bar at the top in OE Classic look modern - at least more modern than the menu bar above, which exudes classic charm. The situation is similar to Windows XP: if the system is in German, then it is also Outlook Express. The user interface of OE Classic is optional in German or English. On the other hand, the 32-bit OE Classic was satisfied with 11MB of RAM on our test PC. Windows XP can run in a virtual machine, as in VirtualBox, but that costs a few hundred megabytes (MB) of RAM. Since the support will end in 2014, it will no longer receive updates – working here is also not very interesting due to operational shortcomings. You can now view messages that were located in your Microsoft Exchange PST or Microsoft Outlook PST in the Local Folders folder in Outlook Express.Installing OE Classic is much safer and more resource efficient than installing Windows XP. NOTE: If you choose Selected Folders and want to import more than one folder, press and hold the SHIFT key and then click each folder you want to import.
To import messages from an existing Exchange or Outlook client PST, follow these steps.ġ.Open Outlook Express, on the File menu point to Import, and then click Messages.Ģ.In the "Select an email client to import from" box, click the appropriate mail client, Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook, and then click Next.ģ.Click Next, and then in the Profile Name box, click the Profile name from which to import the PST, and then click OK.Ĥ.In the Select Folders box, choose All Folders, or to import specific folders, choose Selected Folders, and then click the folder that you want to import into Outlook Express. Microsoft sometimes don`t make things easy - good luck.
