upgrade from outlook express to 2007

[often_confused]

I will be purchasing office 2007 in the next few days. I have Outlook express
installed now, will I lose my emails save in express when I install 2007? Do
I need to uninstall express first?

No; No. After installing Outlook you can import the accounts - don't use
Outlook's Import to move email, export it from express. After you export the
mail, remove the option to automatically check for mail in OE.

No and no. However, MS Outlook will take over as your default email client.
And if you decide to revert to MS Outlook Express, Windows Update will
update MS Office, and revert MS Outlook to the default email client.

Great, Thank you for your help. I'll try that, wish me luck!

But not if Outlook is uninstalled.....

But not if Outlook is uninstalled.....

I've seen conflicting reports about that; and no way to test it for myself.
