You can set up Gmail, etc. within any email client. Outlook Express included.

Any half decent mail client (and Outlook Express) will let you configure multiple accounts/mail profiles
And most internet mail sites have POP services that can be configured - hotmail, yahoo, gmail etc
just search around on their sites and you'll find the info

You can use virtually any client.

If however, you use Outlook express, your permit to access the internet will be revoked! :|

It means Outlook Express sucks. For a free alternative, use Thunderbird.

The bonus with Thunderbird is that you have to be stupid of Malema proportions to struggle to set up a Gmail account at startup.
