Outlook Security Setting Problems?

Let me first say just how wonderful I believe Windows 7 is.  Next let me remind those installing windows 7 for the first time, that there is no email client with th is operating system, therefore if you are not planning on installing microsoft office (which will have outlook) then you are going to be looking for a new email client. Personally I suggest GMAIL as it by far the most efficient and effective way to deal with junk email.  The other great thing about GMAIL is the ability to use the IMAP server service which means you can still use any email client as your 'email catcher' as it is simply synchronizing from gmail's IMAP server.  In any case if you had been using 'outlook express' on a Windows XP machine, then the best bet for your is to go to Mozilla's Thunderbird email client as it is by far the most user friendly but includes email spam filtering and for those familiar with outlook express will not have too much of a hard time learning the new interface.  You can get Thunderbird from this link
