Outlook 2003 & Outlook Express

[John T.]

Just installed Outlook 2003 and set it as my default e-
mail program.When I recieve e-mail, it is still being
recieved by outlook express. Do I need to delete Outlook
Express? If so how? Thanks for your time.

Open OE and select Tools | Accounts. Bring up the properties on each mail
account and uncheck the box at the bottom of the first tabbed dialog. (You
still need Outlook Express to do newsgroups.)

No. First make sure Outlook is really installed as your default mail program
in Control Panel > Internet Options. Ensure that your mail account(s) are
functioning properly in Outlook. Then remove the mail account from OE.
Never remove OE. It is an integral part of your OS.
