Looking for Outlook Express replacement (separate identities)

[Stokesymadrid]

Hi guys, hoping for a suggestion re an email reading programme. I have been using OE for years and will soon move to Windows 7. OE apparently doesn't work there so I need to get a replacement email reader that I can use offline, and which can keep identities/accounts separate.

I have Thunderbird for my main account but have used OE for a
couple of other email accounts. I've many emails sorted into a lot of
sub-folders and so don't want to pool identities in the new reader I use.

Essentially, I'm trying to find a programme that mimics OE in terms of
completely separate identities. Can anyone suggest something? I do have Outlook
as well, not sure if that would work in the same way.

Thanks for your suggestions,

S.

Ps if there's some workaround to let OE work in Windows 7, that's also a solution..!

I use Thunderbird for many years now managing several separate e-mail accounts. You can setup several accounts in TB even using different SMTP servers for each of them. I have created one subfolder for each account in the Inbox folder and configured that incoming mail for each account is moved to the appropriate folder. So I have them separated right away. Since you are used to TB already that would be option 1.

Option 2 is to use Windows 7 Live Mail. Live Mail replaced Outlook Express in Windows 7. If it is not installed yet on your Windows 7 computer you can download it here (it's free): http://explore.live.com/windows-live-mail?os=other

Hey guys, thanks for that... George, I was hoping to get one where each account is completely separate to the other like in Outlook Express...ie that you have to close/restart the programme to get to the next identity. The reason for that is I have a very large number of subfolders and preferred to keep my various accounts apart. I'm worried that it will otherwise be very complicated/cluttered. Are there any other options you can think of?

Eyeb, how stable is Koma mail? Does it allow you to switch identities like in Outlook Express?

Thanks!

from what koma says in description, it sounds like separate accounts :S I haven't used it before lol

You can get windows mail (from vista) to work in W7, if that helps.
