HELP: problems using old version of Outlook....

[KevinGPO]

Does anyone still use Outlook 97?

I am having problems trying to setup an email account that uses POP/SMTP and
also SPA for authentication for SMTP. POP/SMTP doesn't seem to be one of the
available options in Outlook 97. The only email account types are MS
Exchange, MS Mail, and something else but no SMTP or POP. Do I have to
install some addon or plugins?

It has to be brought up-to-date to be useful. Be sure you installed SR1 and SR2
and Internet E-mail Enhancement Patch (IMEP) for Outlook 97, then use the setup
instructions for Outlook 98 found here:
