Hi,

I recently when from using Outlook Express to Outlook 2003.
The problem I'm having is every time I recieve e-mails I get some both in my
Outlook Express and Outlook 2003. I only want to be using Outlook 2003. What
should I do? Please advise. thanks!

Make Outlook the default e-mail client.

Make Outlook your default mail program:

If that doesn't do it, ask in the MS Outlook newsgroup:

Outlook and Outlook Express are entirely different programs. Please ask in
an MS Outlook newsgroup:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.outlook
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...utlook.General
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof....configuration

Or on the Web:

Mail gets downloaded into whatever mail program you run. When using a
POP3 mail server, by default all messages are deleted from the server
after downloading, leaving nothing for another mail program to get.

You need to do any ONE of the following:
- Stop running Outlook Express
- Run OE in a news-only mode
Command Line Options for Outlook Express
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=177233
- Remove the mail account in OE (Tools, Accounts, Mail)
- Tell OE not to download mail (Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties,
General - uncheck the include this account in send and receive)
- Tell OE to leave messages on the server (Tools, Accounts, Mail,
Properties, Advanced)
