My suggestion is to switch to using Mozilla Thunderbird. It is designed to be a simple email program or expand with the use of addons to be as powerful as Outlook. I use it to manage my email, contacts with phone numbers and addresses and notes, and my calendar. I can also sync it with my Pocket PC running Windows Mobile 5 using a third party application called Birdie Sync.

Can I save Windows Mail in a format that can read in Outlook or Outlook Express

Since Outlook Express and Outlook are not one, may Outlook Express be deleted completely?

It is possible to uninstall Outlook Express- pretty much... Start/Settings/Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs and select Windows Components on the left.

I would like to transfer my Outlook Express address book into Outlook Contacts where I have all my contacts addresses and telephone numbers that I synchronized from my Palm, but not my email addresses that I have in Outlook Express. How do I do that?

Thank you

I want to transfer my old (Outlook Express) email to my new machine (using Outlook). I tried to go through Windows Live Mail first (since it is sort of replacing Outlook Express) but I couldn't do it. Do you have any concrete suggestions. The old mailbox files are about 8 GB in size.

My email was OE and was transferred to Yahoo by AT&T - I want Outlook express back, but AT&T tells me that I cannot go back. Is there another email account that I can use?

I am getting a new PC with Vista. Presently using OE. Friend says to convert to Outlook on old PC before I transfer files to Vista. Why?

For a number of reasons, I run both Outlook and Outlook Express (on a variety of machines that I have networked). Why is it that whichever is open when mail arrives displays the mail but those emails are not subsequently found in the other program? Put simply, if Outlook is running and receives an email, if/when I later open Outlook Express and download messages, any messages already received by Outlook are not "received" - (and vice-versa).

I would like for ALL emails to be received by both programs (not simply on a first-come-first-served basis).

Is there a "fix"?

I get sending and receiving errors on my outlook express 2003 version which says
Task 'gtv-dubai.com - Sending' reported error (0x8004210B) : 'The operation timed out waiting for a response from the sending (SMTP) server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'
