Please help I can't get Outlook 2003 to work.

I have installed Office 2003 and would like to use
Outlook. I currently use Outlook Express and upgraded
from Office XP. I set Outlook 2003 as my default email
program and the connections seem right however everything
still goes to Outlook express. When I send a test
message it goes to Express instead of Outlook. Do I
have to delete Outlook Expree and/or Office XP to make
this work. Thanks in advance.

Set the account in outlook express to not be included in automatic mail
checks - you should set it to leave mail on server too - both are in OE's
tools, accounts. This will prevent OE from grabbing mail before OL gets it
and leave it for outlook if for some reason it does a mail check.

Do you have the account setup correctly in Outlook? if the server names are
correct, it should get the mail. once you get OL working, you can delete the
account from OE's tools, accounts if you want.

tools, accounts in OE - check the properties of the mail account and on the
last tab, leave mail on server.
