Switching to Outlook vice Outlook Express

I have been using Outlook Express as my email client for years now. Recently
I purchased a Palm PDA which allows me to utilize Outlook to enter scheds and
what not into the PDA. How can I make Outlook my default instead of Outlook
Express?
Thank you Mr Ortega for your suggestion. I have verified the what you
suggested, and all my internet settings are exactly as you said. However my
email still goes to Outlook Express and not Outlook.
Please, Please, Please any other help or ideas??????????

Hello Phil,

You first need to Open Outlook and create an account using your Pop3 and
SMTP settings that you used in Outlook Express. When you first start the
account you will be asked if you'd like to import your old Mail account.
Select Yes and Mail and settings should be imported. If you have already
created the account you can click on File | Import and Export | And then
select the option Import Internet Mail and Addresses and then Outlook
Express from the next list. Follow the rest of the instructions to complete
the import. In Outlook click Tools | Options | click the Other tab and
check the option for "Make Outlook the default program for E-Mail…". Close
and restart Outlook and you should be set. (These steps are for Outlook
2003 and may be slightly different for other versions)

Hope this helps

Thank You
