Then again, some people prefer to use Outlook and Outlook Express despite its history of continually being hacked into.

Well, if you convert all emails to plain text (no HTML), and only open attachments that you know are safe, I don't see how Outlook can be "hacked." Those are just common sense precautions.

Outlook HAS been hacked. Repeatedly. I should know; I had to help uncounted users that had to deal with it for over a decade now.

Oh, and don’t forget HotMail hacks as well.

I have been using outlook forever and have never been “hacked into it” I no longer use MS explorer but it is not out of fear of being hacked into. I quit using it because it doesn’t always work. Firefox seems to work well for me.
