Outlook and Outlook Express are completely separate programs with nothing to
do with each other. OE has no way to access your Outlook data and never did.
If you are having problems with OE you'll need to post in an OE group. This
newsgroup is for support of Outlook 97, 98, 2000, 2002, 2003 and 2007 from
the Office family for Intel PCs. For Outlook Express (OE) support try
posting in this newsgroup:
news://msnews.microsoft.com.microsoft,public.windoes.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress
If this group isn't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).
Also a good source of Outlook Express info can be found here:
