Just moved over to Windows 7

But I'm really really missing Outlook Express

Tried Outlook,

Tried Thunderbird,

Isn't there a program out there that looks and works like good old Outlook Express

I use Windows Live Mail, it works perfectly fine for me.

Yep, same 'ere, Windows Live Mail works perfectly fine for me, multiple email accounts, cant see the need for a third party email client..

Its horrrrrrrrrrrrible. Its just like outlook without the colour!!!!!

Oh, not sure what you want from an email client then, Windows Live Mail is simplicity... Years ago, when I used to make greater efforts not to use MS products, I used to always use Eudora for email, I thinks its gone open source now.. Have a look, it might be something that suits you.. If not, look to find the last commercial version, Eudora 7.1..

What I want is OUTLOOK EXPRESS

lol, you moved to Windows 7 so you cant.. You either go back to XP, or join the rest of the modern world and use the new version of Outlook Express called Windows Live Mail..

Or how about using Virtual PC in Windows 7 (if you have Pro version) and run Windows XP Mode, then I guess you might be able to use Outlook Express.. Bit of a faff though just for email aint it...

I cant do that its only home pro. I might go with incredamail, I used that years ago.

OK perhaps not looking at the reviews. I would stick with thunderbird but for 1 very annoying thing. When you reply to a message it goes to the bottom and not the top. I know it may sound petty but I hate that and I cant find an option to change it. I am going to give Live mail a go, it certainly seams a lot faster than outlook but it is slower than thunderbird.
