Outlook express - not run under Vista - but everyone sending me OE mails!

[Xylophone]

I run a XP PC. I propose to buy a second PC with Vista, bowing to the
inevitable.

Re the second PC, as all my current correspondents use XP and OE, and none
use Vista, how do I get their emails on the Vista PC

By using the replacement for OE, Windows Mail.

An email is not dependent upon what email client you are using - unless you
are also using an older legacy hotmail account and bringing the hotmail into
Outlook Express. This can no longer be done with Windows Mail - the email
client supplied with Vista.

I am confused here. I understand OE will not run under Vista, so that
being
so, how then can such emails be seen in Vista, as you say then can. I am
sure you are right, but please explain.

You export the messages out of OE using the File menu/Export and you import
the messages into Windows Mail using the File menu/Import.

Outlook Express has been updated and renamed to Windows Mail. You can import
all your contacts and email messages into Windows Mail from OE if you need
to, as well. Windows Mail is very similar to Outlook Express, with a few
little quirks (no Hotmail, for example), and is easy to use. Basically, just
OE for Vista, but renamed.

Looks like you're too dumb to qualify for a new computer. Get an
Etch-a-Sketch instead.

Because Vista has no knowledge of the program used to create the incoming
email. It could have been created by Outlook, Outlook express, Eudora, a
Mac, a web-based email client, or any number of specialized programs that
have, as a feature, the ability to create emails.

The crucial point here is that email is a vendor-independent STANDARD.

It would be a sad day when you have to use a particular email app to
read stuff because the sender used that particular app. That sender
would not be using email, but some crippled proprietary trash instead.
