email program

I am used to Outlook Express under XP. I now got Live Windows Mail/Win7. I hate it. I totally and completely hate it, from the design of of how to manage several different accounts, to those damn ribbon menus. It does everything I need more complicated. I do not even have "Briefpapier" function in it. And I always get asked to register for what-the-heck-Windows-Live. Have I won a freaking club membership? Did I ask for that? I hate this new email handler.

What alternatives are out there? I prefer something as close to the design of Outlook Express as possible. It should be able to import account settings and old mails. It should have access to handwriting fonts and "Briefpapier" (letter paper?) functionality. It should be safe, ergonomic, and easy to overlook several different accounts. Like Outlook Express.

I saw Thunderbird, and maybe could live with it, but when I read about it, they always mention security concerns, I also miss Briefpapier in it.

Any other programs available?

What devil has ridden MS to switch to these ribbon menues in general...? Hnadling them since one week on my comouter, since several weeks on somebody else's. I H A T E them. Windows 7 is nice. These ribbon menues are not. To me, they do everything wrong that can be done wrong. What was wriong with the old menue structure? It has proven its worth. Everybody knows it. Knows how to thandle it, understood its design even in completely new software. And now? Chess, Mail, Word - you are searching, searching, searching, searching something.
