I have been using Outlook Exprees under XP. My e-mail account is with my
cable internet provider Comcast. I will be moving to Vista/Office 2007 and
would like to use the much more robust/functional Outlook 2007 for processing
and sending e-mail etc. Will I be able to set up and connect to the
provider's POP3 e-mail server to download my mail?

Yes, you will. Outlook has supported POP3 for many years.

Like Steve, I plan to install Office 2007 Small Biz incl OL 07. I have been
using Outlook Express for years. Once installed, will a Wizard guide me
through the set-up phase?

Could you tell me the proper settings--and where I will find them amongst
the new Ribbons.

Will be working under XP sp2 not Vista.

TIA--And thanks to all MVPs; you provide us mortals great assistance.

Outlook 2007 does a great job of pulling over your previous e-mail client's
settings. It did mine seamlessly. Just in case though you should ask your ISP
for those settings. They should include your Acct type (POP3),
Incoming/Outgoing mail server designation and whether SPA (secure
authentication) is required.

Sure, where do you get stuck?

I had to go with windows mail, but
can't send photo's with that
You must be doing something wrong then. There is no such limitation in that
product.
