And the responses to your last post this morning didn't help at ALL?

All versions of Outlook will run on WIndows XP, from Outlook 97 through
Outloook 2003. What version d o you have that you believe you must upgrade
There may be a legitimate reason but it's not because you install Windows
XP.
 
I've solved the problem of the Fax. In theory I could keep with Outlook 97,
but to send/receive emails I would need Windows Messaging, right? And the
only version of messaging that I can find is off my old windows 98 disk (old
tools etc). The question therefore should be:

1) Is there an updated windows messaging within windows xp?
2) Or, does it come as part of Office 2003?

windows xp computer I can still add email services?

I always thought that to add an email service you had to add "windows
messaging" and use this. Looking at my Outlook 97 the only other option that
I have is Microsoft Mail. Is this the service that I should be using to
send/receive emails?

No. Yo need the Internet Mail Enhancement patch from Microsoft's Office
downloads if you plan to use internet mail, but I dint' need to add anything
to my XP system when I used Outlook 97 there.

You have to install the "Enhancement Patch" [1] for Outlook 97. This
patch is included in SR1 for Outlook 97 [2]. After you have installed
SR1 you should also install SR2 for Outlook 97 [3].

Office 97 will work on XP just fine just as it is, except for the inclusion
of the Internet Mail Enhancement patch. Make sure you apply the latest
patches.
 
Right then tomorrow I'll download these patches and then I'll be able to use
my "old" Outlook97 with XP to send/receive emails? Wish me luck and expect
more postings if it doesn't work!

Again, I'll caution you. Outlook 97 does not support SMTP server
authentication and many (most?) ISPs these days require that you
authenticate to the SMTP server when you send messages. For those ISPs,
Outlook 97 is not suitable for sending mail.
