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.
