How do I set the default outlook e-mail program

[lawrence casalinuova]

I am using Outlook Express 6 for my email, works fine.
For work I installed Office 2000, and want to use Outlook 2000 which is the
same as I use at work.
How do I make Office 2000 my default e-mail program?

Thanks

lawrence casalinuova,
In Outlook go to:
Tools / Options / Other
select "Make Outlook the default program for E-mail, Contacts and Calendar"

use the Office Online web based newsreader here:

In Office System 2003 applications:
Help/Assistance Pane/open Communities

First you have to set up your accounts in Outlook. Copy or import the POP
settings from OE. Then in Internet Options, Programs, pick Outlook as the
default. In OE set the accounts to Leave copy on Server in case you ever have
to use OE. Note that Outlook 2000 cannot retrieve web based mail, so you
might want to upgrade to Outlook 2003 or continue using OE which can be used
with both web mail & POP mail.
