Just want to double check that i need outlook > 2003. Can anyone help? All versions of Outlook will run on WIndows XP, from Outlook 97 through Outloook 2003. What version d o you have that you believe you must upgrade There may be a legitimate reason but it's not because you install Windows XP.  SignatureBrian Tillman I've solved the problem of the Fax. In theory I could keep with Outlook 97, but to send/receive emails I would need Windows Messaging, right? And the only version of messaging that I can find is off my old windows 98 disk (old tools etc). The question therefore should be: 1) Is there an updated windows messaging within windows xp? 2) Or, does it come as part of Office 2003? Peter > > I've just updated to windows xp.

So if i install office 97 on my windows xp computer I can still add email services? Peter > > I've solved the problem of the Fax.

X'Posted to: microsoft.public.outlook,microsoft.public.outlook.general SignatureBest Regards Christian Goeller I always thought that to add an email service you had to add "windows messaging" and use this. Looking at my Outlook 97 the only other option that I have is Microsoft Mail. Is this the service that I should be using to send/receive emails?

You have to install the "Enhancement Patch" [1] for Outlook 97. This patch is included in SR1 for Outlook 97 [2]. After you have installed SR1 you should also install SR2 for Outlook 97 [3].

Wish me luck and expect more postings if it doesn't work!

Wish me > luck and expect more postings if it doesn't work! Again, I'll caution you. Outlook 97 does not support SMTP server authentication and many (most?) ISPs these days require that you authenticate to the SMTP server when you send messages. For those ISPs, Outlook 97 is not suitable for sending mail. SignatureBrian Tillman > Ah, so this is the route of my problem!! So if i install office 97 on > my windows xp computer I can still add email services? Office 97 will work on XP just fine just as it is, except for the inclusion of the Internet Mail Enhancement patch. Make sure you apply the latest patches. SignatureBrian Tillman > I've solved the problem of the Fax. In theory I could keep with > Outlook 97, but to send/receive emails I would need Windows > Messaging, right? No. Yo need the Internet Mail Enhancement patch from Microsoft's Office downloads if you plan to use internet mail, but I dint' need to add anything to my XP system when I used Outlook 97 there.
