Changing from outlook express to outlook for E-Mail

[RFL Enterprises]

I would like to receive my e-mail in outlook. I currently receive it in
outlook express. Do i simply go to properties and change the Program to
Outlook? If not, what do I need to do to have my e-mail send and be received
by Outlook instead of outlook express? I can't afford to lose any of this nor
mess up my receiving e-mails.
Help...........Thanks

Create your email accounts in OL and test them.
In Internet Options set mail app as OL
Then stop using OE, and either delete the accounts in OE or set OE not to
check for mail (In case you inadvertantly open it)
If you want your old OE mail transfered to OL, in OE export mail to OL

Below is the target, to use in a shortcut, to open the OE newsreader
directly
"%ProgramFiles%\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /outnews

Thanks, but how do I create e-mail accounts in Outlook? I need to be really
sure of what i am doing since i count on my e-mail for my business

Use the Mail Applet in the control Panel. I've assumed you are using OL2003
since you are able to test the settings in this version, on creating the
accounts
