| 156274 | 2003-06-30 00:24:00 | I used one of those "Delete Your Temporary Files" clean-up programs to try and get back some disk space. Unfortunately, I seem to have deleted some files that were needed to make Microsoft Outlook behave itself. Even tried a system restore to recover them (I'm running XP Pro) but no joy. So I figured it was time for a change anyway and decided to use Eudora 5.2. I like the program, but am having trouble importing my Outlook .pst file which has all my addressess and mail messages in there. I'm thinking of installing Outlook Express, importing this pst file and re-saving it as something Eudora will recognise, or alternatively just sticking with Outlook Express. I'm lost as to how I actually get a copy of Outlook Express. Isn't it bundled with the browser? And do I have to reinstall IE6 just so I can start using Outlook Express? | philo (4124) | ||

Yes it is, you should have it all ready instilled with IE 6.0 >And do I have to reinstall IE6 just so I can > start using Outlook Express? If it is not listed under "all Programs" then yes you might need to. |

| 156277 | 2003-06-30 02:37:00 | Hi Stu.. Thanks so much for your incredibly prompt postings! No good trying to reinstall Outlook - have long lost the disks (due to a recent house fire!) and am not preparedd to go out and buy it all again. I don't mind using Express - the only difference I can see is that there's no calendar and tasks stuff that I never used in Outlook anyway. I'm a little wary about reinstalling IE6 - seem to remember a few nightmarish moments when I tried a while back with IE5 (aaah.. the old days...) but will give it a go. I did some more searching and apparently a lot of people have had problems importing *.pst files into Eudora, so at least I'm not alone... Thanks again. Phil |

| 156278 | 2003-06-30 02:51:00 | Hi philo You don't need to reinstall IE and OE isn't necessarily installed with IE if you chose a custom install. Go to MS windows update and install OE only or get it off the PC World disk by choosing a custom install of IE and checking OE in the list of components. I thought it might be avilable in Control Panel > Add/Remove but couldn't see in my setup (Win2k). Cheers Murray P |

| 156279 | 2003-06-30 12:11:00 | Hi Philo, My "Outlook Express" isn't in my "all programs" either, however i do use it and also use xp pro. So you could check where mine is here - C:\Program Files\Outlook Express and you will see the .exe file, so you can make a shortcut,pin to start,quicklaunch etc... Also i do believe I.E 6 is integrated in win. xp , whereas previous versions weren't??? Which makes things a little different re install/uninstall? Anyway if it is there, on your system, i am betting its here - C:\Program Files\Outlook Express :-) HTH |
