What about Outlook Express?

I insist on continuing to use Outlook Express in my Windows7, but I cannot
find the download anywhere. Can anyone help me or show me the way, please?

You can insist all you want, but it's not going to work.

There isn't one. Use Windows Live Mail, or Mozilla Thunderbird, or any of
the several other free email clients that are available...

You insist? That's nice, but insisting won't help you.

I insist that some relative I forgot I had dies and leaves me a
billion dollars. Insisting isn't very likely to help me either.

but I cannot

It doesn't exist.

Well, could use virtual xp if you have a version of windows 7 that allows it
to be installed and run OE6 within that. Only way I can see how it can be
done at present.

Not sure if you can just install OE6 either, had to once on XP when it died
and had IE7/8 on it, there was a workaround/file to download to allow such
but don't know if that would work in Win7 but with compatible install mode
it has, could be.

you can't. OE is not compatible with Windows 7. Time to update to
Windows Live Mail or, better, Thunderbird.

In your opinion. Other's may vary. . .

To me the most important thing is that nobody's opinion should matter
to him. We all work in slightly different ways and what features are
important to one of us may mean nothing to somebody else. So I think
each person should try several of the available e-mail clients, and
choose which one *he* likes best.

I share it.
I try to avoid food fights by phrasing my suggestions/opinions as
personal choices rather that value judgments. For example, "I use
Thunderbird" as opposed to "Thunderbird is better."

I agree!

Whoa! How can one go with some open source programmes. Thunderbird works on
several platforms. Oh we are discussing the merits of programmes.

Thunderbird works fine in Windows 7 x64. Like the OP, I would rather
have OE, but it is no longer available. I tried Windows Live Mail and
didn't like it. TBird was the closest OE replacement I could find.
