But to my best knowledge, it it is technically *impossible* to put OE on a W7 machine. But putting OE's clone (Windows Mail) instead is perfectly possible. Not so easy, but I am sure your builder will know how to do it. One thing to consider, if you go away from goggle, then you will have to get a news source such as Giganews. Depending upon your ISP's choice [if any!] you may of may not like the service and ind yourself right back on goggle's boggle. Goggle's boggle? I like that even better than google's boogle. g I don't have Windows 7 yet, but Thunderbird plays nicely with Vista and isn't that different from OE. I use TBird, my wife uses OE8 with Windows XP and is quite happy with it. Bill I also use Thunderbird on a 32 bit Vista machine for accessing this newsgroup and have no problems with it. Thunderbird is the continuation of the old Netscape e-mail / newsgroup software from the days when Netscape was the dominant browser rather than Internet Explorer (late 1990s, by my memory). I do have issues when travelling, however. Shaw is my ISP in Canada, and unless I'm accessing the internet through one of the other Shaw servers (only available in Canada), I can neither access newsgroups nor send e-mail via Thunderbird (incoming via POP3 is OK, sending via SMTP doesn't work). In such cases, I have to use my webmail accounts for e-mail. I've fussed with that for a long time and have never figured out how to handle it correctly. Ryan I think your traveling problem has more to do with Shaw than Thunderbird. I have similar problems, but I don't travel that much with my computer to try to fix the problem. I use a laptop when traveling, a desktop at home. Generally speaking I skip e-mail and newsgroups when traveling or use my msn or google web accounts if I need to send something. Bill |
