Title: Email setting
Post by: Lona on Jul 07, 2017, 21:22:55: I've had to set my Pc back to factory settings and can't get Windows live Mail to install. Is there another email software than can do the same as I can't be bothered always going on the web to access my email.

Also what are Idnet's setting for downloading email to desktop?

Decided on Thunderbird mail server, didn't know there was a new Outlook Express, Clive. Used Outlook Express years and years ago.
