Anyone know how I can find an upgrade or update for Outlook Express online? Or do I have to purchase the software and do it that way? My work PC needs to have an email application that can handle more than what my current version can handle.

I'll check these out. Need ability to fuse personal email and business email in to one inbox, which I have done already with my current version of OE, but need extensive file management and organization for saved emails from different vendors, read receipts, etc. Tried using full version of Outlook but couldn't stand it. Didn't find it to be very user friendly and wasn't able to customize it for what I need.

Thunderbird, just roll with IMAP and keep it simple.

[Dianne]

rules?

[daviid]

what i do is i have 2 main folders, one for work and one for personal. in outlook 03, (not sure the exact menus in express) goto tools | rules and alerts. create a new rule that goes like this

Apply this rule when messages arrive
through the WORK account
and on this machine only
move it to the WORK folder

then make another rule for your personal emails to goto the personal folder.

you can also makes rules that will move emails to specific sub folders as well.

This is kinda where I am going with this whole thing. But I want more folders within the "work" side of it, like an individual folder for each company I deal with "A Company Email", "B Company Email", etc.
