Why on earth would you want to switch to Windows Mail from Outlook.

Outlook is far more advantageous than Windows Mail. WM has a lot of
issues that is not very desirable

-----
I'm not the OP but am considering the same thing. My reason for doing
so is because my license for Outlook is from a copy of Office 2003
S&T. I'm upgrading to Office H&S 2007 which does not include Outlook.
I want to uninstall the 2003 S&T license completely so I can transfer
it to someone else.

My need for Outlook is minimal. All I do it read email and use some
simple rules to route incoming mail to certain folders based on
destination address, and auto-forward a few.

I use Windows Mail for a news reader and find it satisfactory. Is it
really so bad an email client that I shouldn't consider it? If true,
and if I still want to uninstall Outlook 2003, would TBird or similar
freeware suit my needs? I tried and rejected TBird several years ago
because it couldn't auto-forward as an action of a rule.

TIA
