Built-in email client in Windows 7

After installing windows 7 on my computer i have noticed that there is No built in email client in Windows 7. In windows xp Outlook Express or windows mail is available, is that in windows 7? Any recommendations and suggestions are appreciated.

It is no longer included in windows 7. You should download Windows Live Mail, or like me Thunderbird, it is one of the fastest growing desktop email client software. Windows 7 actually does not include any email program, Windows Live Mail is freeware (what is freeware?), while Thunderbird is "open source". As far as you are concerned, there is no difference.

There is No built in email client in Windows 7 but you can combine all your email accounts in one place – Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo! and more. And now Windows Live Mail has a calendar, too. Mail combines the ease of use of Outlook Express, with the speed of Windows Live. Outlook isn't bundled with the windows 7 OS. You can use webmail, or download Outlook/Exchange, or use Thunderbird, or whatever you like.

Windows 7 does not pre-installed or bundled with any email client, including Windows Mail. It’s way faster than its predecessors and it brings some innovative ideas both in design and features.User who wants to use legacy Windows Mail in Windows 7, it’s possible to extract and port Windows Mail from Windows Vista to install in Windows 7.
