I just upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7. With XP, my personal email client was Outlook Express, but OE is not compatible with Win7. I want to keep my personal and work email separate (I use Outlook 2010 for work email). My primary email domain is Hotmail, so whatever client I adopt has to be able to download from there. Any suggestions?

Outlook allows for separate email accounts (separate PST files). I would just use what you have.

While MS Outlook can do multiple accounts into multiple PST files, I too keep things separate.  I use Outlook to manage my main (ISP) email, and use Forte's Agent program to manage all my free/web email accounts.

Since Hotmail is now "Outlook.com", you may need to check to see what extra steps, if any, are needed to get to the pop3 and smtp servers.

Windows Live Mail, part of Windows Live Essentials

Its basically the successor to Outlook Express.

Does no one use Thunderbird anymore?

I installed this. Some frustration getting it to do what I wanted, but seems to be an OK solution. Problem solved - tha ks for the advice.

I use it daily. The PGP support with Enigmail, and Lightning calendar makes it pretty awesome.

I still use it but last I heard Mozilla was no longer supporting it beyond security patches.  

I like it because it allows me to sanely segregate accounts.

Last I read they were going to keep supplying security patches, but they were going to be relying on the community for development of new features.

If so, it may work out fine that way.
