Question

Outlook Express & a comparable Email program to replace it

Mar 1, 2016 4:49PM PST

Please advise.
I've used Outlook Express [OE] for about 10 yrs, & have loved its user friendly modifications ie creating different folders & groups for my long list of contacts, creating different folders to save emails. I bought a new pc & microsoft 10 & Office business for the Outlook; I hate Outlook's one list of my 200 contacts with no ability to separate into folders/groups [must search through list every-time, time consuming], & when I copy or drag new emails to save to email folders they DISAPPEAR... bizarre!
Please, can Outlook be modified to my needs or is there a comparable email program to OE I can switch to?
I have scanned the net & tried a few but without much success.

I totally rely on communicating by email, so these past 3 frustrating weeks dealing with Outlook are about enough wasted time I can spend, your comments/suggestions would be very much appreciated.
