migrating to new computer - Outlook Accts vs. Services???

[R Harris]

I am just in the process of migrating my data from a Win98 machine to a
Win2000 machine. I am running Outlook 2000 on both. When I try to configure
my accounts on the new machine I am finding a different process for doing
this. Rather than going to Tools/Accounts and configuring my email accounts,
I am finding that I must go to Tools/Services and the configuration process
is quite different from what I am familiar with.

What accounts for this difference and which configuration should I be using?

Thanks in advance.

I think I have it figured out - I must have configured it incorrectly during
the install. Would I be better of one way or the other? I'm the only person
using this computer.

Take a look at the following page, which descirbes the differences between
Internet Mail Only mode and Corporate/Workgroup mode in Outlook 98 and 2000.
As a standalone user you will probably want to switch back to Internet Mail
Only mode; however, reading that page should help you decide for sure.
