Good email program? looking?

Hi forum members,

This is the first time I've posted at this forum, and probably the best
place for me to start to look for answers to my qustions.

I want to completely switch from my web based email, to an excellent
"client" based email program, with the emphasis on "client" based, not
internet/web based email.

With Microsoft, it appears I have two choices, Outlook, or Outlook Express.

Up front I'm stating, not interested in all the bells and whistles that may
or may not be added on to what I'm looking for in an excellent email program,
I.E. calendar, scheduling, and whatever may be available. I'm simply looking
for the best darn client based email program that exists, whether it's free,
or, I have to pay for it.

So, between Outlook and Outlook Express, what are the pros and cons about
one versus the other?

Please don't waste your time or mine tellilng me about the stuff I've stated
I'm not interested in. Simply want to compare Outlook vs Outlook Express's
email program and how either will serve me best.

My needs:

1 - I will want to set up a minimum of three email addreses, for business
and personal uses.

2 - Will need an address/conact book that can handle the details of each
contact.

3 - Will need to back-up the emails and contact data fairly easily so if my
hard drives crash or the program becomes corrupt somehow I have my info that
can be quickly, easily and confidently restored to the email program for easy
"up and running use again".

4 - Must have reputable security in place.

5 - Must be able to handle allot of daily email to each email address where
I can separate, sort, and organize the incoming and outgoing email in a
manner I choose, such as a tree lilke structure with folders I choose to set
up and arrange.

6 - Must have "average or above" email formatting abilities, with the
ability to add attachments of "most all"common types.


Again, please don't waste anybody's time with stuff that's not relevant to
my question.

Outlook or Outlook Express? For EMAIL PURPOSES. One or the other, Why vs
Why Not?

After all, successful business is about making things simpler, not more
complicated, when it comes to getting the job at hand done! Email that is.

Thanks for any help with info that will help me make my decision when it
comes to Outlook vs Outlook Express.

bta,

Rosa
