use outlook

[Guest]

Hi, I have just installed Microsoft Outlook. I have also imported the email
account settings from Microsoft Express. However, I still keep receiving
messages on Outlook Express and not on the Outlook. How do I stop Outlook
express from receiving my emails and have Outlook receive it.
I have also tried to remove the email account from Outlook Express - and
then neither Outlook Express or the Outlook were receiving messages.

Help!!!

Set your default email program under Control Panel->Internet Options->Programs tab.

Hi, I have just installed Microsoft Outlook. I have also imported the
email account settings from Microsoft Express. However, I still keep
receiving messages on Outlook Express and not on the Outlook. How do
I stop Outlook express from receiving my emails and have Outlook
receive it.

1) Don't run Outlook Express and it won't (can't) get the messages.
2) Remove the check on the box labeled "Include this account when checking
for new messages" from the account properties.
3) Remove the account from Outlook Express.

I have also tried to remove the email account from Outlook Express -
and then neither Outlook Express or the Outlook were receiving
messages.

Coincidental, perhaps, but unrelated. Outlook and Outlook Express do not
share account information in any way.
