Hi,

Right click a gray area just to the right of your tab/s then select
Customize Command Bar. Then choose Add or Remove Commands. In the left
column select Read Mail the click the Add button in the middle.It should now
appear in the right hand column under Current toolbar buttons.To access
this, while IE7 is open look just to the right of the Tools menu on the far
right side of IE7 and it should be a small arrow. Click that and select Read
Mail.

All the best,
SG

there is no c:\program files\outlook express folder in both c and d
drive. i have found ie6setupOe.exe from some download website whose
name i have forgot, but when i try to run it, it says that

"setup has detected a new version of IE already installed on
this system. setup cant continue."

it looks that IE7 dont come with OE and it wasnt installed by IE6 and
now i cant find the download link for OE on microsoft website.

Outlook Express doesn't come with IE7, however you can download and install
Windows Live Mail. It's close to Outlook Express and should meet your needs.

It comes with Windows XP! Which he has.

Yes it's comes with XP, but you must have missed he's second post. He stated
it is NOT on his system and by default it should be under Program Files.

All the best,

He could be mistaken and not aware that you have to activate/load it in
control panel---add/remove--Wimdows components.

Well son-of-a-gun, you are correct Unknown and I had completely forgot about
this. I'd bet that is the problem and thanks for reminding me.

All the best,
