Send and receive e-mail on Office Outlook 2003 vs Outlook Express

[Guest]

Recently installed Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 and everything seems to be
okay, calendar, tasks etc., except that my e-mail still goes to Outlook
Express. How can I have just one system (Microsoft Office Outlook 2003)

Remove your email accounts from OE. Have you set them up in Outlook yet?

Don't run Outlook Express and it won't download you rmesages.

Change your default email handler in Control Panel or IE, Internet Options,
Programs. As an added fail safe, in OE change your acct setttings to "leave
mail on server." Then you can use OE when you want and it will still be
available in OL.

So get this - not only do you have to not be running Outlook Express to get
your email in Outlook 2003, but the default setting my OL2003 came with was
set to not collect mail at all. You need to go into email settings and tell
it to collect your email periodically. Wow.

Not true. Outlook and Outlook Express coexist quite nicely. You can even
access the same mail servers with them.

That's true for most of the mail clients I can think of.
