What is the difference between Outlook and Outlook Express? When I see in
these newsgroups, a reference to Outlook, am I correct in thinking that it is
the same thing as Microsoft Outlook? And isn't Microsoft Outlook an email
program?

Thanks,

Max
 
Oh, wow, I think I need something a bit more basic. I didn't even know that
there are different types of mail, I just thought that because they are all
sent using a computer, that they are all email!

Thanks again, though.

In that case, I'd recommend Outlook Express unless you need a calendar (and
then there are other options available for calendaring). It's very easy to
use and offers quite a few useful features for people who just need to send
and receive email.

Well I don't really have a choice, Outlook is what is already installed on my
office p.c., and I can't put new software on it. I don't have the kind of
position where I really require calendaring, but it was already on the
machine when I started the job. (For personal use, I have gotten familiar
with the organizer feature of my cell phone. I once had a Palm Pilot, but
the screen became permanently desensitized, and with the cell phone, even
though the features are limited, I don't have to worry about that, nor losing
a stylus, plus the cell phone is not as sensitive a piece of equipment as the
PDA's are, IMO.)

Thank you again!

OE is there somewhere, probably hidden... but on a corporate system you are
often forced into what they want you to use. :(
