Hi, Jude.
As Neil Harley said, Outlook Express has been largely written for Vista and
it is now called Windows Mail. Perhaps the most significant change is that
the database of messages is much different. Where 1,000 emails or newsgroup
posts were stored in a single *.dbx file in OE, they are stored as 1,000
separate .eml or .nws files in WM. This prevents the problem that many
users had where corruption in a single message could wipe out the entire
message store; now, only the one message might be lost.
You know, of course, that Outlook (OL 2007, OL XP, etc.) is a completely
separate program from Outlook EXPRESS. And, of course, separate from
Windows Mail, too. Outlook does not do newsgroups, but both Outlook and
Windows Mail (and Outlook Express) can handle email.
For most users, the only problem with the transition to Windows Mail in
Vista is importing the OE database. Usually, the problem is with giving
ourselves permission in Vista to see the contents of the message store from
OE. Even the user interface of WM looks almost identical to OE.
When I sort messages here by "From", I see only this one message from
"Jude", and my message store includes messages back to 1/25/07. Perhaps you
used a different name when you posted your previous question.
