Have you thought about Winmail (it was part of Vista) there was a lot of info on the Windows 7 & Windows 8 forums, however the info seems a tad scarce since Windows 8.1 was introduced, guess people moving over to Outlook.com, the problem with Outlook is it does not interface with Windows...

So please tell me what email client does access / use contacts in the user files ??? I know Win Mail (part of Vista) uses contacts, however as contacts are standard in the user files in Windows 8.1 I naturally assume it is meant to sync / pair up with something. The beauty of the contacts...

I know I can always export the info, however I use the Contacts in the user profiles on more than one PC and it is very easy to copy the updated Contact folder onto a flash drive/memory stick, and then copy it onto my other PC, I am sure there must be a way of Outlook.com using this file, else...

Thanks Guys I have gone down the Classic shell route, works a treat Syd

I never like upgrades, so am planning on a format (Samsung SSD) and a clean install of Win 8.1 from the image I downloaded. However I have one (biggish to me) concern, I still like to use a program called (Ex7forW8exe) this gives me the Windows 7 lookalike/classic shell, Start button and Start...
