I just got Windows 7 and was told Outlook Express wouldn't work with that OS. So, I loaded in Eudora. Not really fond of it but then was told I could go back to Outlook Express IF I changed the compatibility setting to an earlier version of Windows.. Want to make sure this is accurate before deleting the Eudora program. Can you tell me if this will work? Thanks

Windows 7 does not support the use of Outlook Express - this was removed from Windows Vista and Windows 7 and replaced by Windows Mail (in Vista) and by Windows Live Mail (in 7).
If you have copies of the Outlook Express mail database files (inbox.dbx etc) you should be able to migrate these into Windows Live Mail using the Import Messages option in the File menu and selecting Microsoft Outlook Express 6 then browsing to the folder where your mail database files for Outlook Express are held.
If you have previously exported your Outlook Express account details (name.iaf) - you can import these into Windows Live Mail too through the Import option in the Accounts page.
Lastly, if you still have your Outlook Express Address book (name.wab) this can be imported in to your Windows Live Contacts by selecting File then Import Windows Address book (.wab).

Outlook express is not available for Windows 7 or even Vista. You can't download it or run it on either of the two version of Windows. However you can install MS Office that includes Outlook on it or you may install a third party e-mail program or even better to use Windows Live Mail free programwhich is a part of the Windows Live Essentials.

I don't believe you can install outlook express on windows 7. I has been replaced with Windows Mail. You can access Windows Mail by click on Start, All Program, and Windows Mail.

There is no Outlook express for Windows 7 anymore and Microsoft has stopped any support related with Outlook express.
You can install Outlook for office of course its a complex software compared to what your looking for. I can suggest a few alternative and substitutes for Outlook express for Windows 7 that you can download.

You can't really download Outlook Express as it is part of Windows XP.
If it is not there, you can add it though the Add/Remove Programs option in the Control Panel. Select the Windows Components icon in the left-hand pane.

In Vista Outlook Express is replaced by Windows Mail, and in Windows 7 there is no email program, but you can download Windows Live Mail.

Have a look at this follow the instructions it should make it all better.

MailNavigator can cope with the task of restoring out-of-order dbx files when Outlook Express itself cannot read them and when a range of other programs are not capable of restoring the information contained in these files. These situations can happen because of viruses, computer breakdown, power interruptions and many other reasons, leading to errors in the file system.
If your computer crashed, first of all you should make sure you have backup copies of your dbx files as well as of all other important data. It's good if you make backup copies of your data on a regular basis. But, unfortunately, in our experience situations are often encountered where there is already nothing to restore.
The process of data recovery from dbx files includes two stages:

• Search and read the dbx files in MailNavigator.
  
• Export the restored messages back to Outlook Express.
  

If your Outlook Express program is properly installed and tuned, MailNavigator will automatically find the dbx files from the information in the systems register. In this case you can load the dbx files from the Information Retrieval page by double clicking on each of them. Or search for messages in these files using the search system.
If MailNavigator cannot automatically determine the location of the dbx files (for example if these files are on a CD), first you have to find them using search tools, and then load them into MailNavigator using the menu command:
File | Load External Mailbox...
Once you've read the messages, select the ones that should be exported back into Outlook Express. You can use various filters to select the messages. If you want to export all the messages browsable in the Navigator at once, use the menu command:

Message | Select All
Having selected the messages, export them using the menu command:

Message | Save as...
In the opened dialogue box, indicate the file and export path, and choose the file type: Eudora mailbox.
When the command is executed, there will be files in the export directory with extensions .toc and .mbx, and also a file descmap.pce. If there are attached files in the exported messages they will be saved in the subdirectory Attach.


Once the mailbox in Eudora format is created, open the program Outlook Express and use the menu command:
File | Import | Messages...

In the opened dialogue box, as the program from which the message is imported, select: Eudora Pro or Light:

In the next dialogue box indicate the directory in which you put the messages from MailNavigator at the export stage:

Further, if Outlook Express finds mailboxes in this directory, it will suggest you select one of them for import:

All that remains to do is to press the Finish button, and a folder containing the imported messages is created in Outlook Express. hope this helps
