I have two Outlook Express mails

[Guest]

I have Outlook Express 6 and now have installed Office 2003. There are now
two Oulook Expresses(Oultook 6 and Microsoft Outlook 2003). Do I delete one
of them or just keep the two? Do I need both?

Whether you need both is up to you but if you keep Outlook then you need
Outlook Express, if you want Outlook Express then you dont necessarily need
Outlook depends on want you want to use them for!

Firstly, Outlook Express is a COMPLETELY different program to Outlook. You
do NOT have "two Outlook Expresses". Secondly, you cannot uninstall OE as
it's part of IE which is part of your OS. Thirdly, Outlook uses some of the
OE files to work properly!

So if you installed Word and Word Perfect, you really think they are related
programs, that one is a lite version of the other?

Outlook Express

Two entirely different products. Outlook Express does NNTP (network news
transfer protocol) for newsgroups but Outlook does not. Outlook's rules are
okay but Outlook Express' suck. Outlook Express does e-mail. Outlook does
e-mail, calendaring, journaling, tasks, notes, shared folders, and more. OE
is an e-mail client. Outlook is a PIM (personal information manager) which
also provides collaboration functions.

If you use Outlook for e-mail and won't be using Outlook Express for e-mail
and you won't be visiting newsgroups (like you did here) then just leave
Outlook Express along. Removing it will result in Outlook and other
programs possibly not working because of the removal of shared libraries.
If you are that tight for disk space that you must choose between the two,
start saving for a bigger hard drive or clean out the garbage on your old
drive.
