Outlook Express and Windows 7?

• I recently got a new computer with Windows7 on it, and i realized that i don't have Outlook Express. I've been using this emial thing for my whole life. My internet provider is Sympatico. I noticed however, that I do have Windows Live Mail, but it doesn't seem to work properly with my email. This is what shows up when I try and use Windows Live Mail: Unable to send or receive messages for the Sympatico (*******) account. The host 'pophm' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly. Server: 'pophm' Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0D Protocol: POP3 Port: 110 Secure(SSL): No Socket Error: 11004 * i starred out my email by the way. can you please help me! i need to access my emails! is there somewhere that i can download outlook? or a way to make my windows live mail work? thanks a bunch ! :)

• Answer:

  You can't download Outlook Express for Windows 7. Outlook Express was part of the Windows XP package. Windows Mail replaced it on Windows Vista computers. Windows Live Mail doesn't come bundled with Windows 7, but it is available free to download. You don't need to use any of the above programs. Mozilla Thunderbird is becoming more popular and works quite well to do the same job.
