upgrading to 2003

[bnc]

Hello
I am upgrading from Office 2000 to 2003. I am in the process and it says it
is going to remove all my old 2000 programs (word, excel, Outlook). I am
concerned because I want to make sure all my Outlook info transfers over
(contacts, future appointments, emails). It doesn't tell me anywhere what to
do, and I don't want to assume it will bring them in before it removes the
old program. Help!

Upgrading will keep all your settings. If you want to be sure then back up your *.pst files for Outlook

OK, thank you, it worked! But now it is having problems sending mail, it can
recieve mail, but says it has a problem sending mail, something about SMTP
server. I checked in my email settings, and it looks correct for
outgoing...what happened?

And what is the exact error that is shown. Can you post it per verbatim.
