can I have both outlook and outlook express?

[arj123]

I have an existing email account in outlook express. I have attempted to set
up a second email account in Outlook 2003. I am not succeeding at sending an
email message from one to the other. Is it possible to have 2 emails on the
same computer using the different programs?
Thank you so very much for your answer and any instructions to help me do it
successfully.

Yes providing that the email addresses are different

It's perfectly acceptable to have multiple mail clients on the same PC and
they can all access either the same mailboxes on the servers or different
ones. If you have accounts with different mail addresses defined in each
client you can easily send messages from one to the other.

So what happens when you try to send the message?

Sure can,

Just be clear with which one is accessing which account...and if they will
leave a copy on the server etc..

I use Outlook for my main email, but also use OE for news groups...

When I switched to OE for email...I just removed those account from OE to
avoid double mail handling..
