I used to use Outlook express. I installed Office 2003
and decided to graduate to Outlook. Well, conversion
went fine, except this am I got no new email.... until I
opened up Outlook express - then I got 4 new emails...
why didn't (doesn't) my Outlook bring in the new stuff?

Thanks!
 
1) Make sure Outlook is listed as your default mail program here: Control
Panel | Internet Options | Programs tab.

2) Remove all mail accounts from Outlook Express (unless you can't bear to
part with them for some reason).

3) Disable automatic checking for new mail in OE.

4) Only open OE if you're going to use it for newsreading (Outlook doesn't
have its own newsreader, it uses OE for that), and either open the
newsreader through Outlook (View | Go To | News) or open OE with the
/newsonly switch. This way, all mail functions in OE are disabled anyway,
so there's no chance of using them by mistake.
