Mozilla Thunderbird Download Firefox too if you havent already a much better browser than IE

The best free substitute for Outlook will be Mozilla Thunderbird. You can download this at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/download

Free "diary" program? I'd suggest using Evernote for that.

When it comes to email clients, I'd suggest Thunderbird.

Mozilla Firefox is one of the most popular browser in the world, you can download the last version for free http://j.mp/1pjZNSW

Firefox is very well known because its fast and reliable.

I reccommend it
