Email problem

[pjphilli (Peter)]

Hi - I use Microsoft Outlook Express for my emails. Recently it has either lost incoming mail or not delivered outgoing mail making contact with my astro friends difficult. I would normally delete such a program and reload it. However, I cannot seem to delete Outlook Express and when I try to reload it from Microsoft I am told it will not do this because I already have the program. Any advice please?
PS I have tried using Mozilla Thunderbird but this seems to have other problems and I would rather stick with Outlook Express.
Cheers Peter

Try downloading and installing windows live mail it's much better than Outlook Express and will give you all the features of Outlook

How did you "delete" Outlook Express? Did you use the "Remove Windows Components"?

Thanks Warren - I will look into windows live mail, and Trevor - no I just could not find Outlook in my programs to delete it. Where do I find "remove windows components"?

Start--->Control panel--->Add or Remove Programs--->on the left panel Add/remove Win Components

Thanks Bob - It is quite obvious now that you have pointed it out - couldn't previously see for looking!
