What our users say about OE Classic Pro

Oct 7th, 2025
For years, I've moaned and complained about the loss of Outlook Express. It was the best lightweight email client that just did email well without all the bells and whistles. Outlook proper is a mammoth beast that just isn't useful for personal use. And other clients just never quite reached the simplicity of Outlook Express.

After installing Windows 11, I figured I'd search again to see if Outlook Express may have resurfaced, and I found OE Classic! Installed it, and bought the Pro version (I have 6 email accounts). THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I missed this thing, and OE Classic is great. The Send/Receive that shows what is happening, the clean structure with emails on top, preview window on the bottom. It's great. Love this client, and thank you for producing it!

I use OE Classic regularly, and depend on it. Back in the day I was using MS Outlook Express on WinXP which lacked support and compatibility throughout the Windows upgrade cycles. OEC takes care of that perfectly. I like the fact this software stays relatively unchanged and not full of “fluff” and “bloat” unwanted add-ons I so often see in many softwares.

I am writing to you to tell you how delighted I am to have discovered your product.

I run an online recruitment business which is very email intensive. I have been using MS Outlook Express for many years and I found it a good email editor being simple and relatively easy to manage about 30GB of emails that I have received and sent over many years.

My laptop recently died and I found that I could no longer install Outlook Express on a new 64 bit platform.

After some online research I found your product, purchased a license and have found it to be a fantastic alternative to Outlook Express, and more.

Thank you so much.

We LOVE OE Classic. I tried so, so, so many other mail-clients. But ALL of them were so confusing. For endless years we've used Windows Live Mail, cause it is so simple and clear.

And now we found OE Classic. Its like Win Live Mail, but it's modern. Thank you SO much for this wonderful peace of software.

Dear OEC friends! Over 30 years we were working with Outlook Express 6 based on Windows XP. Very simple e-mail software program - had exactly the features we needed. Now we were forced to upgrade to new system. We changed to Win11 which has installed Outlook (New). And it was absolutely impossible to get it working as usual with the Outlook Express 6. I tried for hours and days but no way. Then I had luck finding your OE Classic. Absolutely perfect - simple to use exactly what we need for the business - not too much and not too little - just like Outlook Express 6. 1000 x thanks!
