his explorer program. Windows 10 is supposed to be on his machine, maybe I should install it. If it has an email program, that would fix 2 problems at once.

The Windows 10 mail client is completely new (unrelated to the old Outlook codebase) and I'd personally advise avoiding it for another 6 months or so while they work bugs out. Mozilla Thunderbird is an excellent mail client for Windows in the interim.

if you wanted to know if you could set up an email system with Windows 10 where you operated as both database storage and relay services.

My second impulse said Go here.

It explains it pretty well.

I'm sorry, I don't know what you are asking. I think it is the second link, but I don't know

I'm running a full virus scan on what he's got right now because his explorer isn't running properly either.
I tried a system restore and that didn't work, now the scan, and I may install the windows 10 that's sitting on his machine waiting in the dugout.

It worked on a machine that clean of any other type programs. Windows worked like a dream on one PC but the other one demands I spend more money for updated hardware.

I haven't put it on my Win10 machine yet, but it's rock solid on XP, 7, and 8.1 and should work on 10. It allows me to work with 6 different email accounts in one place without having to deal with webmail, or even being online at all if I don't want to be. And while it's almost infinitely configurable, the learning curve isn't very high.

The Win 10 email client should eventually be as good, but I've heard bad things about its having more bugs than features.
