MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / July 2008How do I switch from Outlook Express to Outlook? Thanks.
I have Outlook Express as part of Windows. Through my employer, I obtained Office XP Professional. Everything functions, except Outlook. I cannot open Outlook, but I still can use Outlook Express. Help! what happens when you try? did you create a profile? If not, go to Control panel, mail and set one up.

Thanks very much for responding. Nothing happens when I attempt to open Outlook (other than the little hourglass symbol, which quickly vanishes). I forgot to specify- Windows XP Professional (not my claim !) Office XP Professional (ditto) 2002 Post SP3 Update 2006 Does your question refer to "Add a new email account" or "View or change existing email accounts"? Both of which I was scared of fooling with. I did try switching Internet Properties from Outlook Express to Microsoft Outlook in Programs, Internet Properties. Many thanks. > what happens when you try? did you create a profile?

Click Add and set up your acct. See if it works.

Okay. If I try that, do I use all the same information currently on my Outlook Express account? Thanks very much. > In Control panel, mail - show profiles. Click Add and set up your acct.

Again, if I do that, since the info is identical to an existing email account (in Outlook Express), won't it be rejected? Thanks. > Okay. > If I try that, do I use all the same information currently on my Outlook [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > >> > I cannot open Outlook, but I still can use Outlook Express. > > >> > Help! Also, the error prompt I receive when I attempt to go to Outlook is: "Unable to open your default email folders." And of course, thanks again ! > Again, if I do that, since the info is identical to an existing email account > (in Outlook Express), won't it be rejected?

The only instructions I can find involve Import to Outlook, but I can't do that because I remain unable to open Outlook at all - (error prompt: "Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Unable to display the related folder or item. Could not open the item. Try again.") Everything else in Office works perfectly (Word, PowerPoint, etc.) I have: Windows XP Professional (+ service packs 2 & 3) Office XP Professional Version 2002 (+ Post-SP3 Update) Help ! > I have Outlook Express as part of Windows. > Through my employer, I obtained Office XP Professional. > Everything functions, except Outlook. > I cannot open Outlook, but I still can use Outlook Express. > Help! |
