Outlook vs. Outlook Express

Outlook for Windows is an extra cost option commonly provided with Microsoft Office. Outlook Express is usually included in Windows operating systems prior to Vista.

Setup for the two programs is different. Make sure you are using correct one for your computer.

Setting Up Outlook

Setup an email account using the Tools -> Email Accounts menu. This is a multistep process. Please use the screen graphics below to guide your progress.
