OE6 Upgrade

[Guest]

Hello:



I am using Microsoft's Windows XP (SP3) platform and Outlook Express 6

(OE6) is my main email application.

Recently I installed Internet Explorer 8 and so I am wondering if OE6 has a

corresponding upgrade to say OE7 or OE8.



* Can Outlook Express 6 (OE6) be upgraded to say Outlook Express 7 or 8

?

* If this upgrade is possible; I am interested in how to do it ?

* Can Microsoft Outlook client work as a stand alone application or do I

need the Server also ?



I like OE6 but I need to be able to add audio alarms (using message rules)

when certain emails arrive. Thus the need to upgrade

from OE6 to something higher.





Thanks,

JoJo.

OE6 is the last version of OE there will ever be.

There is no upgrade to OE6. It remains the same. Development and support

have been discontinued for several years.

Outlook Express 6 was the last version of that product. Its successor is

Windows Live Mail.

OE6 is replaced by Windows Live Mail. It has email, contact management, and

newsgroup reader just like OE, but also includes additional features.

No, there is no upgrade for OE6. When you eventually get a Vista or Win7

machine, you will get a new version of OE that is called WinLiveMail, or

something like that.



Have you looked at ThunderBird for e-mail services?

Actually it was Windows Mail which was supposed to replace OE and Windows MAIL in

turn is being replaced by Windows Live Mail

PS: Your post's headers (Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1983) tell us that you're

running outdated and much less secure versions of OE, IE and WinXP *SP2*

(not SP3). Check-in at Windows Update ASAP!

Windows Mail was only available in Vista. For XP, Windows Live Mail is the

replacement for OE. Vista never had OE, so technically Windows Mail did not

replace it, it was an entirely new alternative. For XP users the upgrade

path is OE to WLM.

If you can point me to proof that Windows Mail was available on Windows XP

as a replacement for Outlook Express I'll happily eat my hat. However, I

think I'll be going hungry if I rely on you to get me to eat something.



Fact is that Windows Mail was included with Vista and was never made

available for Windows XP. XP users had to go from OE straight to Windows

Live Mail. The only way to go from OE to Windows Mail would have been to

upgrade to Vista - that's hardly an application replacement, is it?

My bad. I saw Vista and did not read any further (Windows Mail was only available in

Vista) and jumped early as usual. These anti rejection drugs I take for my

transplant sometimes makes me do this without knowing and then realizing next day

after the effect wore off.



Thanks for pointing it out to me.

Sorry if my reply came off as being too sharp, I tend to react badly to

people who don't seem to check their facts and start confusing the issue

with the wrong info, especially when I'd spent time researching my answer to

make sure I'd got it right.

If you research your answers to make sure you are correct you really don't

belong posting to a Newsgroup do ya?
