Just got new lappy with windows 7. Where has outlook gone? Can I get it back?

You need to download the 'Windows 7 essentials' pack. I think there is a link in the start menu somewhere.

BTW, it's called Windows Live Mail now, but is pretty much the same program.

If you mean Outlook Express just stick Mozilla Thunderbird on it --- much less likely to leave you open to a security threat than any MS program.

Yes I meant outlook express. Had a play with Live Mail and will try Thunderbird. I hate changing OS. XP seemed fine to me! Has windows 7 got a 'pretend to be XP button?' (or even a 'pretend to be 98SE button!'
