I have both Outlook Express and Office Outlook 2003. I have been getting my
email thru Outlook Express; however, I want to change my default to Outlook
2003. I have Outlook 2003 set as my default but all my email still goes to
Outlook Express. When I open Outlook Express I get a message telling me
that Outlook Express is not my default, do I want to change it. I always
answer "No," but my email keeps going to Outlook Express. Any suggestions.
Thanks.

Open Outlook Express. Choose Accounts from the Tools drop
down menu. Remove the accounts. Make sure that you have
your Office Outlook accounts set up.
 
Thank you so much. This problem was driving me crazy. Thanks again.

Sorry - this was my first attempt at posting and I got it wrong. So here goes
again. I have exactly the same problem as you did, having just installed
Outlook 2003 and set up Outlook as my default email address. My email still
comes through Outlook Express. Can you tell me if the advice you were given
to delete Outlook Express worked? I'm a bit worried about doing it in case I
lose all my email!
 
Hi - I did not delete Outlook Express - just my mail account in Outlook
Express.
