What is the difference between Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express, which one can I best use to download the emails in my hotmail account. And also: where are the emails stored when they are downloaded?
Monique said:Thanks dduardo, too bad you don't know where it's stored locally.. I wouldn't want to loose all my e-mails when I reinstall windows at some point.
dduardo said:Outlook is primarily a mail client. Its purpose is to download mail from a remote server and let you view it locally. You can also send mail to a remote server and have it forward the mail to the correct server. As a secondary function outlook has scheduling tools (calendar, todo, etc.).
I searched for *.pst files, there are none on my computer :(master_coda said:Outlook generally stores all of it's data in a .pst file

You do? I happen to have a paid account (which will expire in 2 wks) so..Clausius2 said:You need to be upgraded (and pay a fee) in MSN. So I think it will come back to what it was.

For just email, I preferred Outlook Express (it's pared down to pretty much just handle email) over Outlook, but if you're on a network where multiple people are sharing schedules/calendars or directories/address books, then Outlook has more use. Not that I use either anymore.dduardo said:Outlook is primarily a mail client. Its purpose is to download mail from a remote server and let you view it locally.
