Can anyone suggest anything to replace Microsoft Live Mail? Something that
has newsgroups and email?

It's good manners to read a newsgroup before posting a question to
it, so that you don't post a question that's been answered.
In this case, your question has been answered at great length, less
than 24 hours ago. The most popular choice (though it's not mine)
was Thunderbird.

You have X-Newsreader: Microsoft Windows Live Mail 15.4.3502.922 and it
sucks.
You might get this one for decent quoting and without that horrible ribbon.
Yes, it's a bit older version but better than the 2010 crapware version:

Thunderbird!
It's far better than Outlock Express.
I changed to Thunderbird, because I did not manage
to migrate all my Outlock Express data to Live Mail.
So I installed Thunderbird on my old XP notebook,
imported from Outlock Express, instelled Thunderbird
in my new Win 7 notebook and transferred all the data
It's far better than Outlock

While I agree with the sentiment, it would be a lot easier if people
used more informative subject lines. The previous newsreader discussion
you refer to was titled "Attribution marks." If I came into a previously
unread group looking for newsreader recommendations, I wouldn't have
looked there.

You make a good point. Though this is not the highest-traffic
newsgroup, it's not reasonable to expect a new subscriber to read
things that don't look relevant from their subject lines.
At least I did actually provide the answer, and not just the advice.

Three points:
1. In my view, using something other than Windows Live Mail is a very
good choice.
2. In my view, there is no particular value to having a single program
that does both. A separate program for each is just as good, and
leaving yourself open to separate programs leaves you open to the best
choices.
3. Here are my choice: Microsoft Outlook for e-mail, and Forte Agent
for newsgroups. But I strongly recommend that you do not simply take
my choices or anyone else's. Because we all work differently, and have
different likes and dislikes, what's the best choice for one person
isn't necessarily the best choice for the next person. So I recommend
that you try several of each and choose what works best for *you*.

How well does Thunderbird integrate with Microsoft Exchange in the
corporate environment? Global address list, shared calendars, that
sort of thing?

Non sequitur - the question has nothing to do with the topic.
(The answer, of course, is: It doesn't.)

When you restore the context, it makes marginally more sense. Here it
is, unsnipped:
On the surface, it might appear that Thunderbird is being compared to
(sic) "Outlock", which could be Outlook (in which case the follow-up
question makes sense, albeit in a somewhat sarcastic way) or more
likely it refers to Outlook Express, which was mentioned earlier in
the same post, and was likewise misspelled both times.
The bottom line is still that Thunderbird compares favorably to
Outlook Express and is quite a different animal from Outlook.

And, as others have mentioned Thunderbird is reasonable for both.
I, like Ken use two. TB for news and a browser to read Yahoo mail and
Gmail for mail.
YMMV

This article here claims to be able to use shared MS Exchange
calendars with ThunderBird.....

(...and has links to other articles about other ways to make TB
work w/Exchange.)

(1) I didn't notice the spelling "Outlock" wasn't "Outlook", and
assumed it was referring to Outlook, not Outlook Express.
(2) I realize that "Outlook" is really off-topic for this
newsgroup.
I am still interested in a replacement for Outlook (not Outlook
Express) in the corporate environment, so I will look elsewhere for
possible options.

Actually OL works extremely well in the Exchange environment. What is the issues
that you are encountering or why is it that you or your Company feels like to opt
out of the OL\Exchange environment. There is quite a few possibilities but need I
would need to know in what OS and which versions of OL and Exchange is the present
setup in. Some of the Mail clients that I am thinking of for Corporate use also
needs a Server OS.
Meanwhile here is a link from Susan for you to go over

I'd suggest separate programs if for no other reason that the
common error of posting an e-mail to usenet accidentally.
I use Forte Agent for usenet; Eudora for e-mail.
