Hello, I currently have Outlook Express, and was thinking of switching over to Microsoft Outlook, I have Microsoft Outlook 2003, and was wondering if it was possible to switch my same email,
[email protected], over from my Outlook Express to my Microsoft Outlook. I tried already setting up an account in Microsoft Outlook and it says it is working fine, and I set it as default mail as well, but when I send an email to that address I still get it in Outlook Express and not in Microsoft Outlook, I dont need to register a new email address do I??
What do I need to do?
Outlook is a full-featured personnal information manager and messaging client. Outlook Express is a specialized e-mail and newsreader program included with Internet Explorer. EG. choosing View, Go To, News in Outlook runs the newsreader feature of Outlook Express so don't unistall Outlook Express.
Uninstall Outlook. Then reinstall Outlook and at the first "Startup" screen press Next. This takes you to the "E-mail Upgrade Options" screen. To import your settings from Outlook Express, click the "Upgrade from" then select Outlook Express in the programs listing. All your settings from the previous e-mail client will be imported.
This is taken from Office XP Inside Out but is based on Outlook 2002. Hope this helps.
