Windows Live Desktop: Microsoft Outlook Express 7.0

Microsoft Outlook Express, the poor cousin of Microsoft Office Outlook, has been long due for a revamp. Microsoft released OE 6.0 in 2001 and the product has remained static since then.

Meanwhile, Mozilla released several iterations of Thunderbird and did grab some marketshare.

But there is some good news for Outlook Express fans now.
