OE 7
 

I just saw the notice that OE 7 is available for download.

Is it an incremental upgrade, or does it change the whole "look" of Outlook
Express?

I'm too lazy anymore to re-learn Outlook Express if it is a major change---
:-)

Thanks

No, OE7 doesn't exist.

You probably saw a download for IE7. Due to all the problems people are
having with it, it would be wise not to download it.

That's IE 7 not OE 7. OE is basically dead until the next OS version, which
its renamed to Windows Mail and is enhanced and improved, although the
interface is much the same.

Does it have multiple signatures like OE? What is involved in backing it up?

Yes.
It does a pretty good job by itself, but for messages you just backup some
Windows folders. The individual messages are stored as individual EML files
in Windows folders with the same name as the WM folders in the WM data
folder under your user name.

How about backing up signatures, account setting, rules, etc.?

You still have to export those from the Registry. They're in a somewhat
different place because Windows Mail doesn't have Identities. Darn it!

Another reason to wait on Vista: someone will write a back up program

Oh, yes. Shouldn't be too hard to do. No worries about Identity {GUID} and
everything's in HKCU.

You don't really need a backup program. You can just copy the entire
message store directory and 2 or 3 registry keys. But I said that about OE
as well, and Majik's OEQB is extremely popular.

I think system restore is also supposed to restore the message store in
Vista, but I haven't checked that yet.

There is no OE7. You must have been fiddling while that was already
