I had Outlook 2003 and somehow Outlook 6 replaced it??? I lost all my saved
emails, files, and addresses. How do I retrieve them?

Well, lets start with the basics.

Why do you think Outlook Express replaced Outlook 2003? In other words,
what are you doing that starts OE and not Outlook?

Just like before, I go to "Start" and go to outlook, second icon from the
top. This is the way I have always done it. One day last week Outlook
Express 6 just showed up???

Thanks for responding!!!

One more thing. I did a MicroSoft suggested update. I'm not sure if that
was before or after I lost Outlook 2003.

It's back!!!!! Here is what happened ..... Russ, You fixed it for
me!!!!!!! To answer your question, when I opened OE, where Outlook used to
be, I got OE. You gave me the idea to do a computer search for Outlook 2003,
which I did. I found it and all my data was there. Here is what happened.
When I did the Microsoft update it made OE my primary email. All I had to do
is make Outlet 2003 my primary, and wala...... It's back!!

Thanks,

John
