Ordered Outlook 2007 to replace Outlook 2002.
Easy question. I can't find anywhere whether I need to uninstall 2002
first or upgrade over 2002.

Found the answer - install over 2002.
The MS article also mentioned problems with the address book. Anywhere
else I can look for info on that?

I would seriously consider uninstalling at least Outlook 2002. Then make a
new profile when you set up outlook 2007.

OK Diane, I'm completely lost.
Uninstalled O2002 and installed O2007. Best I can tell, I started with
new profiles and assigned pst files. Everything works perfectly except
email. Keep getting an error message about not being able to find the
server. And, in one email account, I keep getting nagged for a
password. I deleted the account that gave me the nag. Now when I
send/receive, I get a popup box showing 0 of 10 tasks completed but it
stays like that (I suppose) for eternity.
If it matters, I imported 3 psts (mine, my wife's, and outlook.pst
(don't know why I have that)) and 10 email addresses, and, in the Folder
List I have 3 accounts - mine, my wife's, and Personal Folder.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
