ok...in Eudora, under 'tools' in the menu on top, the last thing at the bottom of the menu is options..this gives you all the settings...scroll down to "extra warnings" in the pretty menu on the left...in the extra warnings list there is one which says "warn me when I start Eudora and it's NOT the default mailer" .so, check that and it should give you the choice to override OE...

(I leave OE just sitting up in the corner for occasions like this *grin*...it has a place under 'tools', 'options' where the only choices you get are MAKE this my default browser....)

Kendall, if you still have IE, go to Tools/Options and click on programs. Change the mail handler there.

ahh..Kendall..in most email programs there are settings for 'default' mail program...yours is still set to Outlook Express...Since it was on;y deleted from the list, and not from the PC, it appears

(when you set up Eudora it 'should' ask you if you want it to be your mail program and override others....I'm looking now for a place to set that option...and in Outlook Express, there should be a place to UNCHECK whether you want IT to be the default...I will look for that too)

I just downloaded Eudora, deleted Outlook Express from my programs list, and, from my desk top, yet when I click on "Mail" up comes OUTLOOK EXPRESS. What am I not doing? Mark, MSN offers free accounts? Explain?

Eudora is a good choice or you can download Microsoft's MSN Explorer and use it to sign up for a free MSN account. That way your email address doesn't need to change when you change ISPs and MSN can be set up to get your POP mail if you wish.

I never understood what the purpose of Express was in the first place... just an extra gadget...

Me, too. Eudora is sweet and simple. All Outlook seems to be good at is promulgating viruses.

I took it off in favor of regular old Outlook. In the office it was like, office mail would come and go from the regular Outlook program, and external mail would come and go from Outlook Express. What in the sam hill do I need TWO mailboxes for? Too much like work. So I just uninstalled it.

I have heard Eudora is a good program.

For the last month or so, I have had way too much trouble with Outlook Express. Now, it either locks up, or it wont open at all. Anyone else having trouble with it?
