I am through with the MS Office Outlook trial ... now what?

[krysann]

My observations when I allowed MS Office Outlook trial:

Originally my emails came to both my trial page and also to the original
Windows mail. I liked that as I felt that if I decided to cancel the trial, I
would still be getting my mails in the other mailbox.

Some while into the trial, I'm not sure how long, the duplicates stopped
coming, or were coming spasmodically.

Again, I don't know when they stopped altogether, but they DID stop
duplicating altogether.

Now the trial has expired and all the mail I had go to the trial account
cannot be copied, forwarded, or anything except deleted!! What's with that
then?

AND, why does my mail keep going to that trial account when it has expired!
Why do I, yes ... I, need to do anything to stop the mail going to an expired
account.

Oh, and one other thing I have observed: It's easy to find 'ACTIVATE' or am
I just plain blind and can't see the information on how to deal with all
these emails that I have LOST to the trial?

Can someone please help me? I do not want to Activate or Buy or whatever the
new MS Office Outlook, at least not at this very moment. I just want my
emails to go to my old simple Outlook Express (which I thought I had before
all this trial stuff came up), or Windows Mail, which is the only other email
program I have coming up on my start menu.

Yes, if you hadn't detected it yet ... I am quite angry. I'm no computer
whizz & what this experience is telling me is that as long as I remain in
ignorance, I should not accept any more trials!!! I know ... my bad ... but
such is life with the simple folk.

Hope to hear from someone soon. Perhaps I should direct this to the MS
people, huh? Thank you.

Found this response to another question which eases my mind, so I'll do that
& wait see where my mails from the trial go. If I lose them, oh well....

"...Depends what you mean by "lose" all your emails. Do I understand that you
have an unactivated trial version of Outlook that you have been using? If
so, then just uninstall the trial version of Office before installing
Outlook. Your emails should stay exactly where they are, but back them up
anyway.
