transition problems

[jsherm]

I just switched from O.E. to Outlook after "malicious
script" problems that derailed my O.E. I imported my
address book and contents of all mailboxes to Outlook, and
made Outlook my default mail program. I'm having a myriad
of transition problems: (1)Mail is still arriving in
O.E. I have to click send/receive in Outlook and then
wait a minute or two (?) to get messages there (mail won't
just show up automatically there). (2) My address book
stuff is there in Contacts, but when I try to open the
address book it is empty. (3) Occasionally when I hit
send/receive, I get multiple log-on requests, and each
time the "remember password" box will come up unchecked,
though I check it every time. Any help would be
appreciated!

Stop running Outlook Express and it won't get new messages.

I have to click send/receive in Outlook and then
wait a minute or two (?) to get messages there (mail won't
just show up automatically there).

Set a send/receive interval. Since you didn't specify your Outlook version,
it's difficult to tell you what to click.

(2) My address book
stuff is there in Contacts, but when I try to open the
address book it is empty.

Add the Outlook Adddress Book service to your mail profile.

(3) Occasionally when I hit
send/receive, I get multiple log-on requests, and each
time the "remember password" box will come up unchecked,
though I check it every time. Any help would be
