Sumant, That's a very good question. To answer it specifically, Anand is completely accurate. Both Outlook and Outlook Express are email applications from Microsoft. Here is a condensed description regarding each application from Microsoft's site: Outlook Express is the e-mail client that is included with Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x, Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x, the Microsoft Windows 98 operating system, the Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me) operating system, the Microsoft Windows 2000 operating systems, and Microsoft Office 98 for the Macintosh. Outlook Express is designed for home users who gain access to their e-mail messages by dialing in to an Internet service provider (ISP). Outlook is Microsoft's premier messaging and collaboration client. It is a stand-alone application that is integrated into Microsoft Office and Exchange Server. Outlook also provides performance and integration with Internet Explorer 5.5. Complete integration of e-mail, calendaring, and contact management, makes Outlook the perfect client for many business users. I hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John Mon Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2009 11:03 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: (no subject) Outlook Express is not a part of Outlook in any way, shape or form! Outlook is for business use and is very secure. Outlook Express is for everday users and newbies, IMHO.
