How do I setup Outlook from Outlook Express?

[Guest]

I have an email account set up in Outlook Express and want to move that acct
to Outlook. It is a non-msn account!! I also have an MSN account but use that
for personal things. How can I incorporate the 2 using Outlook instead of
Outlook Express.

In Outlook, click Tools>Import and Export>Import Internet Mail Account
Settings.

You can import accounts from OE into Outlook using Outlook's File menu >
Import & Export command. Outlook also supports MSN accounts so you should be
able to add that account to Outlook also.

Vince,
Do I now change from OE to Outlook as my primary account. I am receiving the
message that mail will be sent to my primary POP3 account.

Setup your mail accounts in Outlook and set Outlook as the default mail
program here: Control Panel > Internet applet > Programs tab

Vince,
Thanks again for your help. One more question??(famous last words right!!
LOL!!)

I have set Outlook as my default email but now when I send(outgoing) emails
they sit in my Outbox and never send. Do I "have to" subscribe to Outlook
Connector in order to send outgoing emails or should I be able to send and
receive without it?
