Outlook express in windows 7

I start outlook express in windows XP for my email. I how a new Dell with windows 7. I see that windows 7 has no defalt e-mail program and outlook express is not compatible. Is windows live mail the only option? It is similar to the function and appearance of outlook express? Can I transfer my address book, account groups and the emalis saves form outlook express on my old machine to live mail on my new machine? If yes how can I do this?

Thank you geno007

Windows Live Mail is a good alternative to Outlook Express.  In many ways, they are similar programs.  If you transfer your data and settings (and emails) for Windows 7 via the transfer of the program and then install Live Mail, I think (haven't checked myself) that it will bring together all of your Outlook Express emails and settings automatically and incorporate those into the new program.  If not there is always the option to import if it is necessary.

  • How am I able to import emails from hotmail in Windows Outlook Express for Windows 98?

    My grandfather is not familiar with Windows 98, I understand that it is a version absolete. It is impossible to access his e-mail from your Windows Live Hotmail account I would like to know how to import messages from a hotmail account in Outlook Express for Windows 98. For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

    When I click on anything it either in the Outlook Express Preview window to stop answer and I have use the ctrl-alt-del combination for her all over again. Anyone out there have the same problem? If so what did you do about it.

    Original title: I'm under Oulook Express 6 Windows XP Home SP3 environment.

    Bruce:

    The problem has been fixed (I think) but in a most unusual way. Let me explain.

    When I was closing down to give the computer a rest yesterday, there was a pop up saying that vprotector expected to close. He really wanted the process of closing until I clicked on finish the process. Curious to know what vprotector is, I searched on the net and got a lot of shots, saying: it is a virus and should be deleted pronto. So I searched the hard drive for the vprot. * and found in the folder program files for AVG!

    I then went to AVG to see if it's really a part of AVG and they said yes. If there is a problem with vprot, the toolbar is at fault and needs to be reinstalled. There was one click here to download and run the part of the program to fix the problem. However, I had WebRoot antivirus running that stopped the download of this program as a virus. Because I trust AVG, I've disabled WebRoot and reinstalled the AVG search bar.

    I haven't restarted WebRoot and computer flying along as it should, and OE is the link to IE when I click on a link as it has always done.

    Seems to me to be the faulty AVG toolbar and a cross with two virus programs upward was at fault. Thank you for your time. Your reply gave me a chance to think differently this problem could arise.

    Computers are really complicated machines and we have to be complicated to deal with their problems.

    Thanks again,

    original title: the Emails given erroneous instructions

    As I said in my first answer, click file | Identities and establish a new identity.  See if that solves the problem, which will remove any possible corruption of the registry for OE.  In addition, antivirus and antispam programs do not work well with OE, so they could contribute, depending on what you are using.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

  • How to remove the Inbox of emails in Outlook Express after Windows Live?

    I get the persistent messages to compact my emails.  I noticed that 2007 emails are be compacted.

    I went from Outlook Express to Windows Live a few years ago and thought I had disconnected from Outlook Express.  Obviously not.  I think that each email in Windows Live, I got also went to the Outlook Express Inbox.  I was able to remove all the "sent", "draft", emails, but was denied access to the Outlook Express Inbox.  Therin find hundreds of emails.   I want to stay with Windows Live, but I sure I want to delete 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 email in my Outlook Inbox.  What should I do?

    Thank you for helping.  I'm not too savvy computer.

    I don't understand why you would be denied access to the Inbox, but that following and you will end up with an Inbox again and empty.

  • How can I get my outlook express in windows 7

    First question: is there a difference between Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail?

    Second question: is one of the two already in Windows 7?

    Third question: I was going to do an easy transfer from the Windows of my computer in XP with Outlook Express to my new computer with Windows 7. If Windows 7 is already Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail all my etc. in Outlook messages are transferred in the new e-mail program?

    Fourth question: If Windows 7 does not have one of the mentioned e-mail programs should I download one of them in the old computer and my Outlook etc messages in the new program, and THEN make an easy transfer on the new computer (after I also download the same e-mail program on this computer if it is not already)?

    If this has already been addressed in another post please direct me there.  If I should ask this question somewhere else please tell me where.

    Thank you!

    WIndows mail is only under Vista. And Windows live, you need to install first. Windows 7 does not come with an email program.

    You cannot use Outlook express in windows 7. And I don't think you can transfer Outlook itself overall. You need to reinstall CD. But you should be able to export the emails and contacts from the old Outlook and import them into Outlook. Once that reinstall you on Windows 7
