I was going to suggest bypassing microsoft altogether and going for one of a multitude of free 3rd party email programs.

On my desktop machine i use Thunderbird and for the netbook i use the "webmail notifier" plugin for firefox which works great with my gmail and yahoo mail.

Reason to avoid MS email programs is that the grubby little virus and exploit coders tend to target the weaknesses in software that all the noobs are using by default. Outlook (lookout) express has had a multitude of vulnerabilities exploited over the years
