What happened to Outlook Express in Windows 7?

Microsoft were ordered to unbundle certain applications from Windows, therefore Windows 7 doesn't install an email client by default. However, there are a number of free or low cost email clients you can install. Below is a list of some of them:

Windows Live mail (Outlook Express replacement)

Thunderbird (By Mozilla developers of Firefox)

Eudora (Now free to download and use)

The Bat! (Commercial application)

Pegasus Mail (Free)

IncrediMail (Free)

These are just a few email clients around, just search online to find one that suits your needs,
