Help with windows Vista and email

issy59

Hi

I have just bought a laptop with windows vista installed but it didn't come with outlook express. Can anyone please tell me how to download outlook express and which version i need for windows vista (basic home edition)?

Thanks in advance

Vista comes wih Windows Mail under the programmes menu. Its basically the same thing.

because I am used to using it. Also, my main desktop PC still has windows XP and outlook express. If I use the main PC then I collect my email there, if using the laptop I want the same mail to come to it. Can I have two different email programs without causing problems sending and receiving mail? If not can I install outlook express on my vista laptop and if so how?

Thanks in advance

outlook express won't install with vista.
windows mail is fine - its very similar. like you i am a creature of habit and thought it would be a prob - but once you use it, it's fine.
you can access your mail from either machine. outlook express and windows mail will not conflict with each other, i use both on 2 seperate computers at home.

for giving me a clear answer on this. No one tells you about all the different things to expect when you upgrade your operating system.
