=== Outlook Express 7.0 ===
=== Outlook Express 7.0 and replacements ===
Outlook Express 7.0 was seen in pre-release builds of Windows Longhorn (Vista), which would indicate that Windows Vista was to have Outlook in the final RTM build, however, in 2005 Outlook Express 7.0, along with the WinFS feature heavily needed for it was both scrapped and replaced with Windows Mail, which has a similar layout. You can find Windows Mail in Windows 7 pre-releases, though in later builds, it was intentionally broken. Windows 7 got [[Windows Live Mail]] instead. Windows Mail should not be confused with the modern Windows Mail app that is present on Windows 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 systems.

However, with the developmenoeset of Longhorn, Outlook Express 7.0, along with the WinFS feature heavily needed for it were both scrapped and replaced with Outlook Express 6, which became enhanced in later builds and then evolved into Windows Mail. It features a similar layout to Outlook Express 6. You can find Windows Mail in Windows 7 pre-releases, though being intentionally broken in later builds. Later, it was completely scrapped from Windows 7 and instead, it was moved to the Windows Live Essentials suite, being enhanced with various features (most notably the integration in other Windows Live services), and became [[Windows Live Mail]]. Windows Mail should not be confused with the modern Windows Mail app that is present on Windows 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 systems.
 
=== Replacement ===
As stated above, Outlook 7.0 was scrapped from Windows Vista and replaced with Windows Mail. This was included in many Windows 7 preview builds, though in later builds, it was intentionally broken. This was replaced in the final RTM build with Windows Live Mail, also downloadable for Windows XP, Vista, 8, 8.1, and 10 machines. In Windows 8, 8.1, 10 and 11, Microsoft reused the Windows Mail name for a modern mail app.
