Searching for standalone email software

Ingleberry · 9 May 2011 at 14:18

Been using Microsoft Outlook 2003 email software since released, i'm concerned about loosing compatibility and data with thousands of emails and calender currently in use.

Which new standalone email software would be compatible importing my Outlook 2003 backups, files, folders, emails, calender and accounts?

Thanks Ingleberry

a newer version of outlook.

i don't think anything else will support importing that lot. any reason you want to change? outlook 2003 still works on new versions of windows doesn't it?

Yes it works but not supported for years, funnily i tried to import into 2010 version of outlook trial but *.pst files not compatible ggrr.

I have to export it all onto 32bit XP platform running outlook express 6
then sort out all the folders then export it again
then import into 2007 onwards version of outlook

Or group together small batches emails as txt resend it through email servers then open in new software to re-sort all the data by hand one by one.

Either way i would like future support and compatibility hence the need to upgrade.
