Microsoft Outlook Express is an email client intended primarily for home users.
Like Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express is available in a new version namely
Windows Live Mail. For Windows 7/Vista and other new versions, Windows Live
Mail will work but not Express. It is because the latter is designed only for
older Windows versions. So, in this article, we'll learn about installing
Windows Live Mail. Check this free Windows 7 support guide for Outlook Express
install help.
Instructions:
Live Mail comes pre-installed with Windows 7 comes. There will be a Live
Mail or Essential icon in your Programs list. Else,check the
Startup menu and you will see the Windows Live icon. Click on it and point to
Windows Live Mail. When in the window, create and configure your email account
as described in the next steps.
If Live Mail did not come bundled with your computer, visit the Microsoft
website and look for the program. Since it's a free email client, you need not
pay for it. Click the Download Now button. Click the Save File button when
prompted. When done, exit the browser window. Look for the wlsetup.exe file and
open it. Click the Run button to execute the installation.
Wait for the Live Installer to extract the files. When prompted to make a
selection, click the box next to Mail. If you want to install other features
like Messenger, check them too. When done, hit the Install button. Wait for the
installer to install your chosen utilities. It will take some time. When done,
Win Live will prompt you to sign up. If you already have a Hotmail account or
Win Live ID, click the Close button as you need not sign up for another
account.
Now click the Start menu, All Programs, Win Live, and then Windows Mail.
Since you are using Windows Mail for the first time, it will prompt you to
configure your email account. In the Add an E-mail Account window, enter your
email address and password in the relevant fields. Click to check the Remember
Password box as you would do in Outlook. Enter your name in the Display Name
field and click to check the box beside Manually configure server settings for
e-mail account.
If you notice, the email settings displayed in this window are almost same
as they were in Outlook Exp. Hit the Next button to continue. Select POP3 from
the drop-down menu next to My incoming mail server is a server. Enter the
incoming server address and the port number also in the intended field. This
window is slightly different from the window in Outlook. You had to navigate to
different sections to enter port numbers and server addresses. However, here
you can enter all the information in one window. Thus, you can say that it is
more organized than Outlook.
Enter rest of the information as desired. Do not forget to check the box
beside My outgoing server requires authentication. Hit the Next button to
continue. If your email account is a Hotmail or Windows account, the program
will prompt you to let it download your folders, messages etc. When done,
finish the wizard and you will see all your emails and attachments etc. in your
inbox.
Additional Tips:
If you insist on using Outlook Express, install Windows XP on your Windows 7
computer for dual booting. When you want to use Express, boot into Windows XP.
When you are not using Microsoft Outlook Exp, boot into Windows 7. In case you
face a problem using Windows Mail, contact Live Mail support.
