No you cannot delete OE. It's part of Windows & Outlook needs it to work. You
must set up Outlook (not Office) with your correct POP mail settings that
were supplied by your ISP. You cannot use Outlook with Hotmail or other web
based email. In Outlook, choose Tools, Accounts, New Acct. Then set up your
POP mail and test it. After setup--Choose Outlook as your default in Internet
Options, Programs. Open OE, Accts and choose "Leave mail on server." Then you
can use either program.
