Hi ...

I have Outlook 2000 installed. If I get 2003 (or whatever is the latest),
will I have to uninstall 2000 and then install 2003 ? or will I be able to
just upgrade to 2003 ?

Thanks

It sounds like reading the Microsoft article at
http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/2003/three/ch9/OutD01.htm, you should
just install Outlook 2003 over your previous version and it will properly
migrate your old settings. Check out the section titled: Upgrading from an
earlier version of Outlook

Good Luck
 
You can install over outlook 2000 (outlook 2003 will remove it) or you can
uninstall and reinstall - all personal settings will be retained either way.
We do recommend creating a new profile after you upgrade as we see
instability in upgraded profiles.

For to be safe, you should make a copy of your pst file before doing
anything.
