Hi,

I currently use Pegasus Mail v2.5 but I'm considering migrating to one
of the Microsoft products.

The thing is I've got about 3 different  Microsoft email clients on my
PC.

These are:

1. Microsoft Exchange/Inbox which came with Windows 95 (also known as
Windows Messaging?)

2. MS Outlook, which I think was installed when I installed MS Office
97.

3. MS Outlook Express (which came as part of MS Internet Explorer 4?).

My question is, which of these should I use?

Do they all use the same format for storing mail? Can I use any/all of
them and store the mail in a central Post Office directory?

Which of them is the most fully featured? Which stores mail in the
format which is most likely to continue being supported by Microsoft?

I don't like to change my mail client too often, and it's essential
that whichever client I use can a) access my existing mail (if I
convert it using one of the utilities that are around) and b) uses a
format that will continue to be portable to another client in the
future.

I would continue to use Pegasus, but it's a bit flaky at times, and
has just corrupted a couple of my email folders.

Yours confused,

Jason.
