Do you really want to install Outlook at all? I mean security wise it's flawed, why not try Thunderbird?

But we still need to know which type of email account it is to help you

ive started to use outlook but i dont like the way when you delete messages on outlook it doesnt delete them in your actual internet account ie gmail you have to go into gmail and delete it there, i dont mind but after a while you start building up emails in your gmail account

that is because it takes a sample / copy of the e-mail......

 

[robina_80]

thats what i thought cohen.
do you use outlook. and if you dont, why dont you

 

[cohen]

thats what i thought cohen.

i don't because i use outlook for my ISP e-mail.... and i have learnt from past experiences with it.... i like windows live mail (the program) because it syncs it... it is like outlook, but you delete an e-mail with windows live mail, it deletes it online as well

 

[robina_80]

cool i may have to get that so the only email clients that can delete stuff for you is windows live mail?

i sometimes use windows live mail... because its the best that ive found... windows mail doesnt support hotmail anymore and there was a reason for outlook which i have forgotten

anyway i either use windows live mail or just login to hotmail...
i have my hotmail,gmail and aol accounts redirected to my windows live mail.
