Outlook v. Outlook Express

I set Outlook as my default but can only receive e-mail
via Outlook Express. All setting indicate Outlook is the
default. What's wrong?

1) Make sure Outlook is listed as your default mail program here: Control
Panel | Internet Options | Programs tab. (If it already is, see
http://www.slipstick.com/config/defaultmailer.htm for some ideas.)

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.
