Quick overview:

Are you looking for friends and want to talk to them online? Do you need a proper mail program because the website you use to check your electronic mailbox regularly breaks down?

Trillian Multimessenger - breaking through the chat barriers
Exchange news, make appointments, discuss important business information or simply flirt. All this is possible with a so-called messenger. Such a program opens immediately after starting as a small list in a smart frame and you only have to select the person you want to write a message to.

Outlook Express - Professional, fast and convenient e-mail
The Microsoft Outlook Express e-mail program integrated in Windows 98 offers you many possibilities for electronic mail. You can conveniently manage your addresses, call up several accounts at the same time, save, receive and write e-mails and add attachments to them. This is only part of the Outlook list.

But without an e-mail address, nothing works with Outlook Express and so you are forced to get one. This usually happens with free portals such as www.freenet.de or www.web.de ! T-Online customers also have their own e-mail address, which can be easily configured. Click here for a Detailed instructions for Outlook Express using the example of GMX!

NOTE FOR NEW PUBLICATION: This article was produced by Sandro Villinger and comes from the Windows Tweaks archive, which has been built up since the late 1990s.

Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in the 90s. His helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (at the time Sandro looked like this). He then went on to write elsewhere, for example for PC-Praxis, Computer Bild and PCWorld in the USA. Microsoft also poached him from us. Now Sandro is back, finally sharing his tweaks here again. For a stress-free digital everyday life. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.
