Outlook Express and AT&T Worldnet Service
Outlook Express is an all-in-one e-mail program and a news reader. It allows you to setup multiple e-mail and news accounts. For example, you could have it check your e-mail from multiple AT&T Worldnet Service accounts as well as accounts from other e-mail providers. You also can specify multiple news servers.
Both versions of Outlook Express give you the ability to filter your e-mail. You can use this to place e-mail into folders, delete e-mail directly off of the server, forward to another account, etc. The filtering capability in Outlook Express 5 is greatly enhanced, and gives you additional options. This includes automatically marking messages read upon receipt, which is helpful when dealing with junk e-mail.
With Outlook Express 5, you can assign Identities to each member of your family. These Identities can be password protected, and will allow each member of the family to keep their e-mail separate from the e-mail of the other members of the family.
