My dad just bought a new Dell notebook computer that came with Windows 7. Evidently Microsoft does provide an email program with the Win7 OS. He's used to using Outlook Express on his old XP machine. What suggestions do you PC guys have for him to use? I use a Macbook myself and haven't messed around with Windows stuff since XP.

It isn't preinstalled with Windows 7 anymore, but Outlook Express has been replaced by Windows Mail since Vista. You can download Windows Mail and install it.

Another option is Mozilla Thunderbird.

Is Windows Mail web based?

Thunderbird +1000000000

Kicks ass over all variants of Outlook and Eudora... in my not-so-humble opinion.
