to install outlook express, make sure you have the windows installation cd, insert the cd and click on control panel, choose add/remove program, click on add/remove windows components and unchecked the outlook express box to uninstall outlook, check it to install outlook.

Hi,

MS outlook is part of ms office and outlook express is part of the operating system. To reinstall the outlook express you need to go to the install additional components for windows option in add remove programs.

--Open Control Panel --> mail -->Remove any previous account info.
-- Reboot system
-- Repair Office by Office button --> Options --> Resources --> run Microsoft Diagnostics.
-- Start Outlook and configure

Thanks

In Windows Vista, Outlook Express has been replaced by Windows Mail.
You can migrate from Outlook Express to Windows Mail:

Try removing Outlook Express and reinstalling it. Go to control panel, select add remove programs, then add remove windows components. Uncheck the Outlook Express box and restart. The system once rebooted will boot wwithout outlook express. Then go back and recheck the box, reboot and this will reinstall outlook express. That should fix the problem.

Make note that unless you backup your email you are going to lose all emails you do not back up so I recommend a backup first.

Let me know how it works out.

first, you have to locate your outlook express folder by open outlook express, click Tools and select Options.
In Options menu, select Maintenance and click store folder. Copy the folder path (e.g. C:\Documents and Settings\tcit\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{FBB43B68-51D1-40E2-AFEC-8C6E18F75EE1}\Microsoft) and paste it into Run (in Start Menu) and click OK.
The path will be open in the explorer, just right click on the Outlook Express folder and select share.
