Which Email Prog for Win7

Hi Guys

I just built a new computer with Win 7 64Bit and I would like to know which Email Prog would be best to install as Win 7 dosen't come with one.

Thanks

You can just have the Windows Live Mail, just make sure you deselect all the other stuff during the install.

Thunderbird is good as well, better than Windows Live Mail IMO

I'm sure during installation you can select what you want to install. Just don't choose regular installation, choose custom.

OK,I have installed Live Mail - put my email account address in and it asks for my password.

I presume this is the email account password.

Anyway,I put it in and it thinks for a few seconds then asks for the password again and again and ............

Anyone know what I have done wrong?

Sounds like you're putting the wrong username and/or password in. Best way to check is to try and log in to webmail with those details (if you know your webmail address?).

I am putting in the username and password I use when i go to O2 webmail to read my mail.

I don't know what else it wants?
