Microsoft Mail (part of Windows Live) is the replacement for Outlook Express - I still use OE (or you could try Thunderbird)

I'm having office 2010, but wish I would be allowed to upgrade to 2003.

Oh jusification for my stand on not moving from 2007 - it is likely that 2007 will be the last version of office I ever use...

Oh, I do find 2010 better than 2007, but 2003 doesn't have those Elephanting ribbons, so it wins!
I still don't find sh*t in any office program after 2003.

I hated the ribbon at first when I switched from 2003 to 2007, but I got used to it. I recently got a new job where they have 2003, and I can't find anything all over again... grr!

I use Outlook, and you can buy it separately. But you can often get the whole suite cheaper and just install what you want to use...

I use gmail - and I find it even beats Outlook with its use of labels which allows me to file the same email into multiple folders...
For Word, Excel replacements I use OpenOffice at home.

Unfortunately you are correct, it has way too many years of development in it to be replicated, I just wish they would stop using it a a bloody database.
I bit the bullet and installed office, upgraded from 2003 to student and then to 2007 standard. Don't ask, I have done this on at least 3 computers over the last 5 years

Windows Live Mail. The older version, that isn't elephanting ugly. And hacked by myself to actually install on my frikken OS, which it refuses to do for no good reason (it works fine).

I use Thunderbird. I switched after 'Windows Mail' (aka Outlook Express) kept locking up while downloading e-mail from my ISP.
Thunderbird seems to work pretty well. The only annoyance is the incredible number of updates that come out. As soon as my anti-virus app updates their TB add-on, TB updates and disables it due to 'incompatibilities'.

Nice idea - it does mean I need to learn morse which, from an old gentleman I know who was a radio operator in WWII, I should be fairly fluent after two weeks if I spend most day practising morse...

Thanks
Have bookmarked it and will give it a go.
Things have obviously moved on a lot since the 1940's.

The "biffles[^] me" wasn't a typo.

I was just trying to submit a contact form to GoDaddy and I got message saying that I need to enter a valid phone number. It was auto-filled by their system in the format 111-111-1111. When I modified it to read as 1111111111, it worked fine.

I had to change my credit card for all my GoDaddy domains so I checked the box to select all accounts. When I clicked the button to add a new card, the page posted back and kept the "select all" checkbox checked, but unchecked all of the checkboxes next to each account.
I bet Bob Parsons does all the web development himself.
