Outlook & Outlook Express - Default Problems

[Dale Keyes]

I have both loaded on my computer (Express was my
original e-mail program). I successfully loaded Outlook
and copied my contact list. I then set Outlook as the
default. Nevertheless, I only get mail on O-Express,
even though all my settings on Outlook, Outlook-Express
list Outlook as the default. Mail settings on my control
panel verify this. What's wrong???

Firstly with OE closed does OL send/receive OK ie send yourself a msg
If OK, either delete mail accounts in OE, or set it to not check for mail.
If you use OE (mail) and OL whichever is open will receive mail, assuming
the mail accounts are set up in each
In Internet Options select OL as default mail prog.
The OE newsreader can be accessed directly from OL or IE

May seem a rude answer, but have you rebooted your PC
since loading Outlook?
