Using Outlook rather than Outlook Express

[Guest]

I have an account which has been set up in Outlook Express but I would rather
use Outlook 2003 as the mail client instead.

Can anyone please tell me how to cancel the accounts in OE and get them to
point to Outlook 2003 instead?

You don't need to cancel anything. Just create your accounts in Outlook
and don't use OE.

I tried that, but firstly the e-mails still went to OE, and once I deleted
the OE accounts they don't go anywhere.

I found the problem: The send/receive timer was set to too high a number.
problem solved.

If you don't open OE, E-mails won't go thgere.

and once I
deleted the OE accounts

That's fine too. Nothing wrong with doing that.

That has nothing to do with OE. You have to set up the appropriate E-mail
account in Outlook.

Since we are discussing OUTLOOK, anyone know how to add an animated GIF to
you outgoing messages?
