um.... firefox is a browser, like internet explorer. Outlook Express is an email client thing. They are differnet things. Unless you mean outlook express to thunderbird. I recommend thunderbird

never use outlook express (to many bugs and security things) and never use IE

get firefox and thunderbird

Firefox without a doubt,
otulook express is bugging out on me right now, plus thunderbird is so totally tight, you get a little bar at the right of your screen saying when you have a msg (if your at your msg access thing), and your msgs load faster in my opinion.

mozilla's email client is called thunderbird, i have never tried it, but its related to firefox, which is mozilla's answer to internet explorer and its the best!

My recomendation... Pegasus Mail.... otherwise I'd say Thunderbird. Outlook, like IE, is a security nightmare... and if you've dropped IE and you're still using Outlook then you're still using IE for looking at your mail since Outlook renders it's messages with the core of IE.

Really? I've nothing but bad about Thunderbird, though Firefox works like a charm.

Right now I'm using Outlook with Gmail (Gmail just recently has accepted POP hosting for programs like that)
