I have been using Outlook Exprees under XP. My e-mail account is with my
cable internet provider Comcast. I will be moving to Vista/Office 2007 and
would like to use the much more robust/functional Outlook 2007 for processing
and sending e-mail etc. Will I be able to set up and connect to the
provider's POP3 e-mail server to download my mail?

Yes, you will. Outlook has supported POP3 for many years.

Like Steve, I plan to install Office 2007 Small Biz incl OL 07. I have been
using Outlook Express for years. Once installed, will a Wizard guide me
through the set-up phase?

Could you tell me the proper settings--and where I will find them amongst
the new Ribbons.

Will be working under XP sp2 not Vista.

TIA--And thanks to all MVPs; you provide us mortals great assistance.

Jim

Outlook 2007 does a great job of pulling over your previous e-mail client's
settings. It did mine seamlessly. Just in case though you should ask your ISP
for those settings. They should include your Acct type (POP3),
Incoming/Outgoing mail server designation and whether SPA (secure
authentication) is required.

Sure, where do you get stuck?

You must be doing something wrong then. There is no such limitation in that
product.
