Help configure Outlook for email - reconfigure

[Cricket]

I am using (and want to continue to use) Outlook 2000. I originally
installed it on a Windows XP OS with no email. Now I would like to
reconfigure to allow email and profiles. However, I cannot find a way to do
that. There doesn't seem to be a way to change the configuration. So, I
removed Office 2000 Premium from the computer, and went through a
reinstallation of same. I hoped it would start from the beginning, but no,
it doesn't. Instead it keeps remembering that I didn't select email
originally and will not reconfigure or ask to reconfigure. I really need to
have the email and profile setup. What do I do now? Can the configuration
be changed? Why is there so much remaining on the computer after I removed
the app that it won't start from scratch? Thank you.

Do you have a Tools > Accounts button in Microsoft Outlook 2000? If yes,
pick it and you should be able to add a POP3/IMAP/Hotmail account.

Outside of that, to change "mail" modes you would select Tools > Options >
Mail Delivery tab > Reconfigure mail support button. At this point you can
pick Internet Mail Only or Corporate/Workgroup modes. Make sure you have
your Office/Outlook 2000 installation media on hand because it will be asked
for.
