The installation of Espresso is easy and intuitive. You can place the program files where you want them.

So I can imagine that your first question is why should pay for Espresso when Outlook Express is free? Good question, glad that you asked it.. Spam is the answer. Espresso is built from the bottom up to be a better email client and help you rid yourself of Spam.

Of course there are other factors you need to look at to. The first Big One is can I import messages from my old email software. The answer is yes, you can:
Import messages from:
Outlook Express 4 (MBX Folders)
Outlook Express 5/6 (DBX Folders)
Thunderbird
Email Files (*.eml)
Other (MBox)

If you are currently using Outlook Express you will find the interface of Espresso looks about the same. With one major difference, Espresso has some really useful easy to understand buttons at the top.

Espresso is going to try to get rid of your spam by a number of methods, the main way is by permissions. By this I mean you tell Espresso who you want mail from and who you don't want it from. An easy way to start out is to import your contacts list from another program, and allow all of them.

To Blacklist:
Click on the Blacklist tab.
Enter a list of email addresses or domains from whom you do not want to receive messages, if any at this time. If not, just leave this section blank.
Click on the Settings tab.
Check the options available to determine how you want Espresso to manage your messages. It is recommended that in the beginning you check Send Permission Notice to unknown senders just in case you missed adding someone's email address to the permissions list.

There are other reasons to use Espresso too. Here are just a few
Add notes to individual messages.
Flag important messages.
Supports pop3, imap4, http protocols.
Pre configured for easy setup of hotmail and gmail.
Built-in backup and restoration of mailboxs.

In conclusion, if you are in the market for a new email client that is fully featured, easy to use and gets rid of your spam problem Espresso is for you.
