outlook express to outlook2003

[wally wang]

Hi,

I installed outlook 2003 and imported all the mail settings from outlook
express. I can send mail out from outlook but could not receive any mail.
The refresh(F5) is gray out. The outlook express is still receving all the
mails. How do I have outlook to take over the mail?
Thanks,

Wally

Wally,

Have you tried - Tools Menu>Options>other> Check "make Outlook the default
program for mail, etc"? This works for Outlook2002.

1) Make sure Outlook is listed as your default mail program here: Control
Panel | Internet Options | Programs tab.
2) Remove all mail accounts from Outlook Express (unless you can't bear to
part with them for some reason).
3) Disable automatic checking for new mail in OE.
4) Only open OE if you're going to use it for newsreading (Outlook doesn't
have its own newsreader, it uses OE for that), and either open the
newsreader through Outlook (View | Go To | News) or open OE with the
/newsonly switch. This way, all mail functions in OE are disabled anyway,
so there's no chance of using them by mistake.
