Clever, but better to use Thunderbird.
Although I've never installed Thunderbird, I think it's the program
my son's school suggested he install. He got so frustrated with it
(can't remember why) he uninstalled it and started using Hotmail of
all things instead.
What troubles I wonder? Mine worked perfectly from day one and
continues to do so.

I don't really remember why, although I remember him saying it wasn't
displaying some of his friends' emails correctly (don't ask me what
kinds of emails they were sending him...).
He'd also installed another browser which school suggested and found
that didn't display some of the pages of his school website and the
homework files he did via the school website didn't display properly.
Likewise, he uninstalled that and went back to the M$ offerings for
his sins. Probably not the course of action many would suggest, but he
seemed happier going back to M$ programs. I wonder if he might have
been trying to use out of date versions of the other programs, or not
applying the right settings, perhaps.
Thunderbird defaults to displaying text only. There are two other
options - simple html and original html.
It also blocks original images by default, but offers an option to download.
I have had quite a few users of OE who have had corrupted databases.
This typically crashes OE.
It is a horrible program......
