Outlook Express in WinXP

[Sealtm2]

How do remove outlook express as my default mail in WinXP?

[AllGamer]

you'll need to install MOZILLA
www.mozilla.org

and select yes to be the Default Email

:t

[Midknyte]

open internet explorer - tools - internet options - programs

change the email program there.

[AllGamer]

but you wont be able to change it without another installed, and registered

;)

I figured he already had something in mind to change it to or else he wouldn't be asking.

:t You are a real pain in the ****. Where did he say that he wanted Mozillamail?

[rangeral]

Sounds like he may be thinking of another mail app, so mozilla is another good option seems the drift although he could've mentioned a touch more about why he wants to remove it.

[BipolarBill]

I would assume that he had another mail app on mind, but that's just me.

If you want to try a really good email client & Spam remover , this one is very good .

I can look at my mail on the ISP's server , delete ( spam removal ) , reply , click on links & if I want it on my comp ,
click on Move to > Archive .
Use right click for most of the functions .

You can still leave any other email client installed . Just a matter of choosing which one you want as default .

This thread is not a request for a better e-mail program.

He does seem to have an **** fixation Bill - scary man - woooo!

Dont be so quick to knock the man down - its only 560k and looks quite useful for me!!!

Thanks for that Jmatt - been looking for an imap mail client -
I sometimes use Intellimail for it but its become a bit cumbersome and keeps insisting on updating itself.

Like the old fashioned but very useful headers view of the mails too - this might become quite a regularly used program for me once ive given it a more thorough test.

Security wise - its always best to use something other than outlook/mozilla.netscape anyway and this one is pretty good from what ive seen - takes me back to my unix days and pine etc

[jmatt]

Thanks omendata

[omendata]

This has turned out to be quite a wee gem of a program - can even carry it around on floppy disk - I do like it simple but functional.

Well done J

[omendata]

I doubt it sucks as deep as my gurlfriend but yep it is pretty dire.
