    Ugh I hate Outlook Express! (sorry for those who like it ) It's really confusing and it never works for me, so I just use Hotmail.

    At my work we have Outlook, with the preview as default. Fortunately the company firewall keeps out most of the malware, and they are diligent about patching Windows' many "holes".

    I used to keep the preview pane active, until some nasty stuff started going around. At work the preview pane in Outlook is turned off too. You get used to it (I have). I'd rather take a few yocto-seconds to click on an e-mail than spend hours recovering from a virus. Better to be safe than sorry IMHO.

    Can't stand the preview pane. I turn it off and keep it off. I'll read it when I'm good and ready!

    Because I was travelling for work for so many years, I used web based email. (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc).

    We use Outlook(not Express) at work.

    I like web-based mail because if my computer goes on the fritz, I can go to a friend's place or the library - any computer at all - and check my email!

    I don't use Outlook, I use Mozilla Thunderbird! I have never had a problem reading junkmail because it has such a powerful filter (the program itself, NOT my email!) that ALL junk mail gets filtered into the junk folder. Then I just go to the folder, select CTRL+A and delete them all without having to preview anything.
