No offence, RBLC, but why do you have to use Outlook express anyway? I have gmail and that suffice all my needs.

I think you'll fiind Ernie, that the absolutely free ones available for download on the web are much more user friendly. Alternatively Netscape has a buit in pop up blocker.

Don't they snoop at your emails?

[Zainub]

No that I know it

A computer scans the emails so they can show ads relevant to what people email you about.

I've got a yahoo account, but in need outlook for work email account(s). No one tried opera then ? I tried it briefly impressed by its speed (dowloaded a 16mb file in less than a minute) but it confused the pants off me.

I sometimes find those adds very useful. In fact I've been useing a few of them quite frequently off late. I like that feature. And I'm fine with it. I doesn't seem like an invasion of privacy to me.

And its not like a human is reading my emails, its just some robotic machine. And 1000 MB is just an unbelievable amount of strage space. Even if they were spooking my emails, I'd sacrifice that for all the storage space, its not like they're telling anyone else what my emails are about, they don't hold that information anyway.

And they've got lots of other cool features too, that yahoo or hotmail don't. I'm falling absolutely in love with the archieve feature and the ability to replay to a message without opening a new window. It saves an unbelievable amount of time. Another good feature is "don't ask me my password for 2 weeks".

Last time I had multiple windows opening, IE toolbars, it was caused my some type of malware, I tried Ad aware, Spy Bot, Bought Spyhunter, and it would not go away, I had to ask one of the pages to browse, I had to reload windows to get rid of it.
To be honest, just my personal thought, I dont like other toolbars like Yahoo, or Google with IE, I tried Yahoo once, I found it very invasive.
When your 20 odd windows open up, are they small like an unfolding pack of cards?.

What in the name of my pants is a gmail invite !!!!!!!!!

I still don't think you can sign up yet, you need to be invited. So if you go to that site, you can get an account.
