Macintosh User Get First PC with Outlook

[Guest]

Good afternoon ... this is my first ever newsgroup contact - so be patient.

Sorry to bother you but we're looking for some help ... We're PC beginners
after nearly 20 years with Macintosh ... when we turned on our Compaq laptop
with XP it connected into the network (of 6 macs) and begin searching the net
just great with Explorer BUT when we tried to set up our e-mail on Outlook it
began struggling hard ... it took forever to open up the application after we
restarted ... I undid everything to get us back to square one.

What can be done? I'm hoping for Outlook to really help integrate and manage
several office functions but it was struggling so hard it was of no use.

Again, thanks for taking time to maybe help out.

What version of Office and are you using an Exchange server or ISP mail?
