Often when people say MS Outlook, which I abbreviate as OL, which is a part of the MS Office suite and is a MS Exchange client and PIM which includes being a mail agent which is MAPI capable; they actually mean MS Outlook Express, which I abbreviate as OE, which is NOT part of the Office suite nor an Exchange client, but is a mail agent w/ a similar name and part of the IE browser and is NOT MAPI capable. Which do you mean, OL or OE? OE is free; OL is not and needs a licensed product key. -- Mike Easter |

I didn't use 2010 in XP because by that time I had Windows 7. Now I have Windows 10 and I use 2019 but you can't use this version on XP.

I do have installers dating back eons so I probably have on that will work but a version would help eliminate misfires. Thanks ! Tables don't really help, because whether a product works or not is not sharply defined. (The behavior of the installer, is not the same thing as the behavior of the actual outlook.exe executable.) https://www.keynotesupport.com/windo...ty-chart.shtml Compatibility Chart for Windows XP and Microsoft Office Windows XP * Support ended 8-Apr-2014 Office 2019 Not Compatible. See System Requirements for Office Office 2016 Not Compatible. See System Requirements for Office Office 2013 Not Compatible. See System Requirements for Office Office 2010 The 32-bit edition only of Office 2010 is compatible with Windows XP with Service Pack 3 (SP3). See System Requirements for Office 2010. While this article might seem like a joke, it also contains a bit of information about the speed the programs run at. https://raymii.org/s/tutorials/Offic..._on_Linux.html OK, this one hints that the installer is booby trapped. https://support.office.com/en-us/art...b-0b7e92be52e8 "If you try installing Office 2016 or Office 2013 on a PC with Windows XP or Windows Vista, you'll get an error message. These are some of the errors you may get: Installing Office 2016: The procedure entry point SetWaitableTimerEx could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll Installing Office 2013: The procedure entry point K32GetProcessImageFileNameW could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll That kind of booby-trapping does not mean the installed software would not run. Microsoft uses these tricks to prevent users from doing that. As an example, I had a game that ran on WinXP but not Win2K, due to that style of issue above. By commenting out two branch instructions in the game code and replacing with NOP instructions, the game ran on Win2K just fine, all the way to the end of the first level. No problem at all. So at least with that article, now we have some idea what to expect. If the installer for Outlook will start, then good. if it throws the K32GetProcessImageFileNameW error, then you have your answer. That's an artificial log thrown into the road, to prevent you from driving on the road. Paul |

Outlook for Win XP
I found I have Office Pro 2007.
Not OE ! Will Outlook from 2007 be OK to use for eMail ? I have the key for it. Will there be updates for it someplace ? Does it do newsgroups ? I am totally tired of the mozilla software that keeps going to sleep while I am trying to do eMail (thnderbird) and newsgroups (seamonkey). |

Will Outlook from 2007 be OK to use for eMail ? That's for you to decide. I use Outlook for my business eMail. Will there be updates for it someplace ? If there are any updates you'll get them automatically but Office 2007 is no longer supported by Microsoft. Does it do newsgroups ? Don't be silly. Newsgroups were dead long time ago and Microsoft decided to shut down its servers. Therefore, Outlook doesn't have Newsgroups support. You need something called Thunderbird for that. Is it true that you spend more time changing your name to post to these newsgroups rather than spending time to learn something new? I am totally tired of the mozilla software that keeps going to sleep while I am trying to do eMail (thnderbird) and newsgroups (seamonkey). In that case you need to give it a cup of coffee to make sure it doesn't go to sleep. I have never heard of such silly things here before. You are the most stupid person I have seen on these newsgroups. I take it you are a lonely, sad person wasting time here to socialise. -- With over 1.2 billion devices now running Windows 10, customer satisfaction is higher than any previous version of windows. |

Will Outlook from 2007 be OK to use for eMail ? I have the key for it. Yes. Will there be updates for it someplace ? No; considering using XP and OL is NOT considering updating anything. Does it do newsgroups ? You can attempt to use OL to do newsgroups by using add-ons, but no matter how hard you try, you would be better off using OE for ng/s than OL. Read this: https://www.outlook-tips.net/how-to/...ps-in-outlook/ Newsgroups in Outlook I am totally tired of the mozilla software that keeps going to sleep while I am trying to do eMail (thnderbird) and newsgroups (seamonkey). You would be better w/ either of those than OL and also either would be better than OE. So, I would rank for ng/s: Tb or SM OE OL. -- Mike Easter |

There is something wrong, perhaps w/ your profiles, w/ SM & Tb if they are misbehaving. You should fix whatever is wrong. One way to setup a test situation is to create a new test profile to see if it works correctly. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird If your profiles are not properly maintained, they get 'bogged down' w/ too many or corrupt folder/files. Here's an article on compacting folders: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Compacting_folders If you don't compact your folders regularly, performance can slow to a crawl, you can't store new messages anymore, ... (more misbehavior) There are also sections at that link about compacting taking a long time or forever and about compacting not working. Messed up and bloated folder/files are a big problem w/ both Tb & SM; but can be corrected or fixed. -- Mike Easter |
