Outlook Express in Windows Vista

[Spike9458]

Hi All,

My mom just got a new Dell computer with Windows Vista (I'm still running
xp and am helping her long distance). She says she can't find the Outlook
Express icon when she clicks on start/all programs.

My question is ... does OE come with Windows Vista? However she is setting
her email up, it's not working so I thought I'd start with the basics first.

Thanks,

--Jim

No, Outlook Express is not included with Vista, its been replaced by Windows
Mail.

Okay, thanks. How do I tell her to launch it? Is it an icon click after
clicking on start/all programs?

Thanks,
