Windows 7 POP3 mail client

[Faffer]

I have just installed Windows 7 RC only to find that Windows Mail is no more.

I am using Windows Live Mail for my Hotmail but it does not allow creation of folders within folders. I don't really want to use Outlook if I can help it, as I don't like the way it stores all email folders in a single file, unless I create an individual pst for each folder.

Can anyone suggest a decent POP3 mail client that will be faster than Outlook, or am I better off just sticking with Outlook?

There was a thread about this very thing, let me have a lookie.

Looks like they replaced it with "Windows Mail".

You download it through Live essentials.

Yes, I've seen that post. I have Live already, but only use it for Hotmail. I am looking for an equivalent to Windows Mail/Outlook Express for my POP mail.

What about Thunderbird with the Sunbird Plugin installed?

but does allow it for other POP3 email ......

You can use Windows Live Mail for POP and IMAP, I do

what about Thunderbird plus some plugins?

I will take a look at Thunderbird if Windows Live Mail doesn't do what I want it to.

Thanks for the suggestions
