I've used Outlook Express for about twenty years, still do, does all you
mention, fast, efficient, using version 6 right now. Tried Thunderbird,
looked/worked like a Chinese/East Indian copy of a ripped off version of
Outlook Express, clunky, not nearly as easy or efficient, everything about
it quite odd. I get up to 800-900 e-mail a day, filter them into several
dozen folders, click the folder, speed read the subject line at about six a
second, delete them as fast, over-all a few minutes, then spend just a
little time reading/responding to what I kept/care about. I've also tried
various versions of Outlook as well. A lot of bells and whistles not needed
for basic e-mail, so I dumped it.
As for "support", if it worked to begin with, it'll work forever. I only
upgraded to 6 because I got drug into Windows XP and 4 wouldn't play nice
with it or I'd still be using that. So long as it works with your OS, you
don't need "support", just something functional from day one.
Now if you've upgraded to something like windows 10, which in a year and a
half I have yet to see play nice with anything, including itself, find
something simple that works and if so, great, but can't help you with
specifics on that OS yet.
