Microsoft Outlook Express is crap.
Does/did anyone ever really use it? I thought it was just a bad dream

I still use Outlook Express AND Outlook, plus TB and a couple other actual
newsreaders to boot.
I like OE and the complete set of options it provides, most of which are
easy to set on the fly if a switch to something else is needed. Many
people, not all newbies, still use it even though support ended years ago.
In fact, if you look at the Headers here, you'll see more OE being used than
other mail clients & ng clients.
TB is good too and there isn't really anything wrong with it except it
takes more clicks & keypresses to do things on occasion. I mostly use it if
I've accidentally marked an e-mail as read and can no longer find it. Since
TB or any other client for that matter has never seen the e-mail I'm looking
for, as long as it still exists on the server, it'll bring it down as a
"new" mail. I think TB may be a tad better with security too, but I don't
frequent or exchange mails with unknown places as a rule without first
having checked their reputation at Google, which is pretty easy nowadays.
Sort of an extension of "safe surfing" methodology.
IN the end analysis, I think OE in conjunction with OEQuoteFix is an
excellent mail client. Others may disagree, and that's fine. We're all
entitled to our own opinions of course.
I also use FireFox and IE8 on probably about a 50/50 basis; depends on
what I'm doing. Downloads in particular I use IE8 since FF makes them a
little inconvenient to me. If FF made it as easy as IE does to set various
targets for downloaded files, I might use it even more, possibly exclusively
except for the places that require IE to work right.
