Title: Microsoft Outlook
Post by: Langers on Friday, September 17, 2010, 13:52:54
I have been asked to add someones email to outlook. I have Microsoft office but Outlook doesnt seem to be included. I can find downloads for Office but not for outlook on its own. Or is there a similar programe i can use?

Install Opera, it has a built in pop3 mail client

Further research tells me that Outlook is now rather an expensive stand alone package
Found downloads for Outlook Express tho

And what version of office? Since 2003 outlook should come with it unless you've customised the install.

Yeah get Thunderbird, it's what I use. (Although I'm migrating elsewhere.) Add in Lightening and it's then also got a better calendar function than Outlook. Or just use Outlook Express, which although basic, is plenty good enough.

On an unrelated note, how do I set iron as my default browser? It tells me everytime I open it that it isn't default, asks me if i'd like to make it so, to which I reply in the positive, then it does the same thing next time.

But at least it has a nice crease in it.
