ok, 1. not true that windows mail is not on windows 7 computers (I don't know about 8 machines yet), but... there were some troubles with resetting it to run in the past though it seems to work fine if you install (or make sure it's already installed) service pack 1, then reset windows mail to run and all is good. ** large note here, you will be resetting things in the registry to do this, so if you don't feel comfortable with that, forget about windows mail!. 2. yes windows 8 is being worked on, and should be out in the relative future, its got some shaky spots, is designed for touch devices though it will work on more standard machines, and does have improvements to narrator which make it far superior to what it was. but I'm going to be waiting at least a year before I install it after it becomes regular market available, usually by then many of the kinks have been worked out of the system and the full panoply of adjustments and such have been handled by experienced computer guru's and so its less of a headache for us computer underlings. 3. other Email clients that are being used with windows 7 include the following: windows live mail, the newest one, or some prefer the previous one (I can mail folks the previous install file if needed). * some like it some hate it, its a matter of choice as far as I am concerned, but I tend to look else ware for mail clients. Eudora; version 7.X will run on windows 7, and there is a last grant from the company that was maintaining it (they no longer do) of a free license that can be installed to get rid of the annoying "buy me" message in the "free" version which is what you download. I have info on all of this available. Mozilla thunderbird is the next one that is accessible on windows 7, runs good, can be a bit confusing until you get used to it, but is well known on most of the lists and help is available from Mozilla or most lists.
