Thread: Do you use Outlook Express ?

Hello ,

Im just curious to know whether you use OutLook Express or not !?

Personally I have been using it and I really like its features , no need to login everytime and I always get a notification whether i have a new email or not

I use it however I only use it for mail and dont use all the other fancy stuff like calendar etc. It works great for the functions that I use it for.

I never used Microsoft Outlook Express ever. I always used yahoo or hotmail for sending and receiving my emails. Infact is there any chance that i can delete it from my computer.

I have configured my gmail account with my outlook express, so I don't have to login to my gmail account every time, i need to check my mails. I also can read my mails offline too, since the mails will be downloaded to outlook express and can be read at anytime I want. I also can add my own custumized mails and signature lines when using it.

You can configure you gmail with outlook express, instructions given here

Outlook Express

outlook express is ok, i used it long back. i have microsoft outlook in my office. i guess u don't need this in home if you have an unlimited internet connection.

I have never used Microsoft Outlook. I rather like to use other email account service provider which as MSN, Yahoo and Google as email service from them is more easy to use and more over it is also very muc reliable.

Microsoft Outlook is quite robust and easiest to use. Express Outlook is a thin client version of MS-Outlook and not very flexible. But again it is easy to use. Express is not very secure either.

Microsoft Outlook is the best e-mail client apart from Lotus Notes. If that was not the case most corporates would have abandoned it. MSN, Yahoo, Google cannot compare to MS-Outlook for features.

Well i dont car abot it features because i dont like to use it. I like to use the above mentioned Email providers and this is the reason i like to use them.

I like to use out Look Express and i think that it is a great way to check and send mails. Just use it for once and i am sure that you would like it.

I dont use microsoft Outlook. i have never tried it but still i heard that it is good but i would like to keep on going on with other email serivce provders such as google, yahoo...

I am using and very useful

I used outlook express, MS outlook and Notes. But i prefer to use Microsoft Outlook. Nothing can match with its features

i m using windows live mail... and i think its better than outlook express...

you can also try it.. download it from microsoft downloads site.

I am using Microsoft Office Outlook and I am quite satisfied with it

But as per Smoothvibes suggestion, will also try windows live mail

just try it yaar... its really good one... but it works slow on lessthan 1GB RAM systems... but works great with 2GB RAM..

Dear its great
i have setup gmail a/c on it
thanks buddy

i prefer outlook its small n simple

Outlook Express is not a Email provider ....you can call it as an Email Manager.
Outlook Express allows you to configure all those existing email account that you have on say gmail, hotmail ,yahoo ....in one interface.

Even i do like it ....but the only fault being i could never configure my Hotmail Account to it.
I guess it requires a paid account of Hotmail to configure into Outlook Express.
If i am wrong please correct me.
Has anyone configured Hotmail on Outlook Express.

Hi every one
can anybody tell me that can i configure yahoo and indiatimes a/c on Outlook freely or i have to pay for it.
i know that rediffmail,and hotmail are taking money for it.
Thanks

i suggest u try gmail, its free pop enabled

I m using Gmail
i asked just for information, if it is possible for free
Thanks for prompt reply

POP3 is a service that must be enabled from the source e-mail provider, e.g., Yahoo, Rediff, Gmail, etc. Most of them disable this service because then no one uses their own interface that contains ad's. Thus they are potentially deprived of the income. If you pay for POP3 service, then they will enable it for you.

never tried it

I've never used/tried Outlook.

• Happily using Thunderbird for a long time with IMAP for gmail.

• It has a built in RSS reader option too.

• One could use Lightning extension, if there is a need to organize todo's/other things or for time management.

i used thunderbird about a year back but never found it good as it was working very slow (may be on my system only) but found outlook 2003 as better option and now using windows live mail
