Steve:
Being the "luddite", that I am, I prefer to avoid storing things anywhere on
the web. I do not need all the easy features of e-mail clients ike "GMAIL";
but, I recognize that, if I were not such a "luddite", I would probably go
that route.
So, for those who feel as I do about the "cloud", OUTLOOK, or OUTLOOK EXPRESS,
are among the better options - in my view. In fact, if someone is looking for
OUTLOOK EXPRESS, she/he could check out the following link:
http://www.whitestick.co.uk/download.html
This site has downloads of various kinds, e.g. OUTLOOK EXPRESS V: 6, and
others. OUTLOOK EXPRESS used to be my e-mail client of choice. However, it
has a "maximum" storage limit; so, I have stuck with OUTLOOK since discovering
that!
Hope this is helpful.

Hi Yvonne and listers:
I'm interested in the comments about Gmail and AOL "driving me crazy".
Gmail seems so easy for me, I use it online and store no Email on any machine
and have all my folders etc just like one might have in Outlook. The benefits
I've found are these:
1. Nothing ever lost in a computer crash or change.
2. No lack of continuity if and when internet services change.
3. Access to all my material whereever I am and from whatever machine I
choose.
4. Darn near infinite storage.
5. An easy interface with fast delivery and easy retrieval.
I used to use Hotmail and, in fact, still have a Hotmail address that I've
forwarded to my Gmail account.
I used Outlook for a few years with a couple of employers and thought it was a
bit bloated and not particularly intuitive so, for my personal stuff I've just
stayed on Gmail online.
I'd love to see more opinions and discussion on this thread; I've set my wife
up with a Gmail account and she uses it across two platforms Apple IPhone and
her NetBook. I've used Gmail from Windows '98 thru Windows 10 quite
seamlessly. I have, however, given up worrying about privacy and tracking
because I feel that it is inevitable in this day and age; if I want private
I'll encrypt things.
