First, I prefer the simplicity of Mail over Outlook, as well as the layout.
However, since it is the successor to OE, I guess I need some assurance Mail
is more secure. Is Mail an improvement over OE, or should I bite the bullet
and install Outlook? Thanks.

What do you mean by secure? You mean from viruses and stuff? Its got the
same basic protections as OE in that regard, which are very good and tried
and tested.

People don't get infected via OE, they get infected by opening attachments.

The message store is new in WinMail and that is a very big plus. There are
also other features that are enhancements over OE.

I have been using Outlook Express since before it was released and have
never gotten a virus or other malware. And I usually run at lower security
than the default.
