It is OK to unload your frustrations, I can handle it... > I'm no connoisseur of e-mail clients, but I've just changed over from OE to Windows Live Mail pretty painlessly (admittedly I have not quite as many old mails as you, "only" about 500MB). I exported/imported all my old mail into storage folders, so I can get to quickly when needed. Also does feeds, calender, newsgroups, and has a few other added/improved features from OE. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
