Outlook (former Hotmail) Forum says I need to get a "Mail Client" that works with 10.4.11

Hello Apple Friends:
I have a PowerBook G4 still running Tiger 10.4.11.
Unfortunately, due to virus concerns and spam at work, I have had to use non-apple mail such as Hotmail for well over a decade now. Not a problem! Mac works fine. But the folks over in the "Microsoft" (delete that word after reading it) group felt their Hotmail was too old fashioned and jazzed it up and are calling it Outlook now.
And Hotmail/new Outlook no longer works like it did before on the Tiger OSX of course!
After over a month and reading dozens of Emails (about 20 which I sent myself) to various Forums and help groups, the latest "advice" is that I go searching for an "old style" "Mail client" whatever that is.... that will work with Tiger 10.4.11. And install and transfer it somehow, hopefully without losing or deleting 17 years of contacts and Email, transfer over to using it for my Outlook (I looked at some others who have the great modern Mountain Lion etc OSX systems and read their posts about this and they had significant problems using the new Outlook too.
Problem is, I deal with many very stubborn people who are just not going to spend the time and effort needed to "convert" my "hotmail" address into anything new to replace it, not even counting how many weeks of effort, missed emails messed up communications this will entail and last far into 2014 I'm sure.
The best hope is that someone knows of a "Legacy" site with older mail clients on it (or even older browsers than my Safari 4.1.3 in case someone thinks that is the problem (I also tried it with Firefox, but only can have up to 3.6.28 and TenFoxFour is not highly recommended as it creates unstable computers occassionally)
So I'm caught in the middle trying to upgrade older Mac and without the funds needed to purchase one that has Intel Chip in it for use with something higher than Leopard so I can use the Hotmail/Outlook again.
Sorry for long message, but I wanted to cover all the bases in case someone is searching the data base of the Forum in later months, and hopefully someone else here has has similiar total frustration with trying to continue using the "M--------" free Email product.
While I'm on the topic, I wondered if the .Mac was an Email client? I had it once but long ago subscrption elapsed and got notice that it became "mobile me" or something like that....just covering all the bases since Apple has so many more choices.
Thanks for reading all of this complicated (you should only see the other Emails!) question. (sorry products and username are wrong for this message can't get the hang of editing them "before" I think of writing the message!).

Hi BDAqua:
Just catching up to your earlier suggestions so hope this is not taken as anything less than the excellent advice and fantastic support you have given me here..
I cannot use the current edition of Sea Monkey 2.17.1 as System Requirements are : 10.6 Minimum, and I have Tiger 10.4.11 max in "non-Intel" G4
Note also that reading details (I always do) I cannot just jump to that one if I could or wanted to as too old a Sea Monkey at 1.1.19. They say to upgrade to 2.0 first, then reset the "profile" page (does anyone remember my password or even what Email I used back in 2004??) before moving on to upgrade (use it at least once in new profile of course!)
So I copied them first here for anyone else's information:
System Requirements, Installation and Uninstallation
Before installing, make sure your computer meets the system requirements. SeaMonkey 2.17.1 will no longer offer to migrate your data from SeaMonkey 1.x or Mozilla 1.x at the first start after installation (bug 689437). In order to upgrade from such an old version, install the last SeaMonkey 2.0 release first, do the one-time profile upgrade, uninstall SeaMonkey 2.0 and then install your target release (e.g. this one).
You can find more details about installation, profile data and uninstallation in our install and uninstall document.
Here are the specifics of Minimum Requirements of Sea Monkey 2.17.1 version:
Mac
Operating Systems
Mac OS X 10.6 or higher
Minimum Hardware
Macintosh computer with an Intel processor
200 MB of free hard drive space
Older System Sea monkey 2.0 requirements are ::
Mac
Operating Systems
Mac OS X "Tiger" (10.4)
Mac OS X "Leopard" (10.5)
Mac OS X "Snow Leopard" (10.6)
Minimum Hardware
Macintosh computer with an Intel x86 or PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
256 MB RAM
200 MB of free hard drive space
But..... Caution signs are EVERYWHERE not to download or use this anymore.....
(I know my 1.1.19 is really old but so old no one bothers with it anymore?? but newer ones may have huge security loophole for viruses etc....
Sea Monkey 2.0.14 Warns:
Released April 28, 2011
WARNING! The SeaMonkey version available for download from this page is outdated and suffers from known security vulnerabilities. This page is only available for historic reference.
We strongly advise you to download the current release instead.
So I'm sorry if I could not follow your instructions and get a better Sea Monkey Experience as well..... I'm just using existing one as another browser in addition to the newer ones provided as I use them for different purposes, i.e. Sea Monkey can be great for just interrupted "look ups" on google, etc of a quick definition and then closing it, so nothing complicated, no Java/Adobe Flash ads requirements, etc in and out that's all.
Then I can leave my major browsing and using Email Hotmail/Outllook which prompted this whole exploration of solutions for the two brand new browsers TenFourFox and OmniWeb..
Thanks again to everyone! I replied to everyone below in addition to this reply above to BDAqua....

Need help getting Adobe OnLocation CS3 to work with windows 7 64 bit. Any ideas?

Need help getting Adobe OnLocation CS3 to work with windows 7 64 bit. The program installed ok and the S/N took.
The program does record video and audio HDV M2T.
The problem is video doesn't display or play back on the monitor component @ 16:9 or 720 p. 4:3....
The scopes respond as do the audio components when recording. (with a blank monitor component).
The video does play back on my system no problem.
Any ideas?

I need help getting my Thunderbolt display to work with Windows 7 through Bootcamp.

I recently bought a thunderbolt display and it works great in my Mac environment. But I recently added Bootcamp and Windows 7 (I need since my Broker Dealer only uses Internet Explorer). Unfortunately, I can't seem to get Windows to recognize my Thunderbolt display. Today, I spent 2 hours with a very kind advisor from Apple Support but we didn't have any success.
Here's my setup:
MacBook Pro (purchased new in 2011) with i7 processor
Thunderbolt Display
Lion OS (all updates installed)
Bootcamp with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (all updates installed)
With the help of Apple Support, I downloaded and reinstalled (through the repair option) all the Bootcamp drivers. I shut down my computer, plugged in the Thunderbolt display, turned it on and booted into Windows 7. When the Windows Welcome screen appears, it shows on my Thunderbolt display for about 2-3 seconds. But the thunderbolt quickly goes black. My MacBook Pro changes to a 640x480 resolution and the Thunderbolt remains blacked out--with no signs of even a single flicker. Once the computer finishes the start-up, my MacBook Pro remains in a 640x480 resolution, with no option to change the resolution (it's grayed out in Windows control panel). If I unplug the Thunderbolt cable from my MacBook pro, the high resolution of my MacBook pro snaps back to normal.
To me, this seems like some type of driver problem but I must be missing something simple because it appears that Thunderbolt works with Bootcamp and Windows 7--based on some of the readings I've found here in the Apple support community. I'm most appreciative of anyone's help here.

Have OMD EM5, need Camera Raw and PS Elements that work with this camer

I've been using PS Elements 9 on a MAC. Can't use RAW. Know I need a plug-in. If I upgrade to PS 12, how do I find out what Camera Raw I need? What is compatible with this camera (OMD EM5)?

Yes, you need at least PSE 11, but PSE 12 should work just fine. Download the trial and check it out.
Here's a list of the minimum versions of ACR for each camera model:

PSE 12 comes with ACR 8 and can be updated to 8.5.

Arch64: really need to get Citrix ICA client 10 working (and others)

Hi,
I am currently running Arch64 Voodoo on my Dell M65 notebook. It is a really great and fast distro and I am trying to make it my default distribution ....... however for my work I absolutely Must use the citrix ICA client (v10).
Unfortunately it won't install, it gives me a wrong ELF class on libxaw.so.7
I looked around in the community llib32 stuff, but it doesn't appear to be there, can anyone help me getting ICA working, I really need this and It would suck having to switch to another distro or the 686 version. There isn't a source version from ICA available so I cannot compile it myself.
On a side note I also have a minor java problem, I want to install azureus but that has a dependency to jre6 and I want to install OpenOffice.org but that has a dependency fo java-cgj-compat, does anyone have a olution for this? I already downloaded SUN's jre from their site but ofcourse the package azureus doesn't know this.
thanks a lot in advance,
stefan

I haven't heard of these emul32 packages before, but I think what you need are the proper lib32 packages. Specifically one for libxaw. Unfortunately, one isn't available in the AUR. I took a look at some of the other lib32 PKGBUILDs and all they seem to do is download the i686 package for the corresponding library, uncompress it, and copy all the shared object files to /opt/lib32/usr/lib. With all that said, here is a PKGBUILD for lib32-libxaw.
I won't be adding this to the AUR because I don't use it & therefore don't want to maintain it, but anyone else may submit it if they choose.
Looks like this library should depend on libxmu, libxpm and libxp. The first is available in the community repo as lib32-libxmu. The other two can be downloaded from the AUR as lib32-libxpm and lib32-libxp.

I tried to upgrade the new version for i pad mini but when downloading it just went off and told me to connect it to i tunes, so i did and now it says i need to restore it. Does that mean I will lose everything in my i pad?

I tried to upgrade the new version for i pad mini but when downloading it just went off and told me to connect it to i tunes, so i did and now it says i need to restore it. Does that mean I will lose everything in my i pad?

In other words, the upgrade process did not go altogether well and the device has lost all its contents. When you plug it in, they will be restored from the backup.

Why mail don't work with hotmail?

I was going to buy a macbook air 13" but i stopped because "mail" don't work with hotmail. The apple store Campania is not able to solve the problem.
Help me

Hotmail is now MS Outlook.com. To my knowledge all mail programs work with it in one way or another. Right Apple Mac Mail.app doesn't support the new MS exchange system, I forget what they call it for real, but from what I have read Outlook.com now supports IMAP which Apple Mac Mail.app supports.
But then IMHO Mail.app is one of the worst mail clients. So alll you have to do is install another Email program like Outlook, in MS Office for Mac 2011, Thunderbird or some other mail program. Just because the Apple Mail.app progam may not work they way you want it to with any given mail provider doesn't mean you can't get email from that provider.

I have an Iphone 3Gs. I need to get contents of messages that were sent and received on the phone in June for evidence in court. I read online that the Iphone internal storage keeps all data done on phone in the storage. How do I get into it?

I have an Iphone 36s. I need to get contents of messages that were sent on the phone in June of this year. I read online that the phone has an internal storage that keeps all data when phone is used and that this internal storage can be accessed. I need the contents of particular messages for evidence in court. How do I get into the internal storage? I've tried some of the methods that people post online, but none of them have been successful. Help!

If you still have a backup from that point in time as part ofr your computer backup history, you could restore the backup folder, restore the phone from that backup and have the messages on the phone.
More details about restoring from old backups can be found here: iPhone and iPod touch: About backups

I'm told that you can just get a "camcorder cable" and use it. You just need to have a mini-jack on one end, and RCA jacks on the other end. Ask for a "camcorder output cable."
The trick is -- and this is important -- that the video will not be on the output cable that is labeled "video." If you get an official Apple iPod video connector cable, the cables will be labeled correctly, but using a generic "camcorder cable" means you will just have to try each of the three cables until you find the one that works with the video. Then the audio cables will be easy to figure out.

I purchased Adobe Acrobat x Pro recently and installed it, I have compatibility issues vision 2013. The adobe pdf converter plug in stays inactive despite all my efforts to activate it, I need help with this? How can i get the plug in to work with Visio 2013?

For MS Visio (any version) only the appropriate version of Acrobat *PRO* provides PDFMaker for Visio.
For Visio 2013 specifically you must have Acrobat XI Pro (updated to at least 11.0.1).
