Hi all,, particularly, those who have been contributing on this thread already. having read your messages, I would like to look into switching to Outlook for the reasons I stated, considering what Gordon has said in his last post. Perhaps those of you who have contributed already, and others with knowledge of outlook, particularly XP, could explain how easy it would be for me to go ahead and change the account over, considering that there are duplicates of my folders already in Outlook as I, as I have already said, use it to back up my messages to. Thank you in advance for your help.
