A couple of Outlook Questions

I too got the infamous e-mail about Outlook Express no longer working as of June 30, I currently use Outlook Express on my XP-SP3 Desktop with 3 Hotmail Accounts but use Outlook on My Vista Laptop.

Questions:
1. If I change my desktop over to Outlook instead of Outlook Express will I still be able to access the accounts after June 30 via Outlook?

2. How can I make Outlook open in the Inbox of my primary account - I can't seem to find that anywhere in the Outlook Options and there a search of the help base yields nothing helpful?

3. I only use the E-mail not the Calendar, etc. so how can I make them not show up when I open Outlook?

4. Since I use Firefox as my default browser should I just change to the Mozilla E-mail program. To those who have or are using it what are your impressions?


Thanks so much for you help in advance!

I think what you are refering to is that you will not be able to access your Hotmail from OE anymore. OE will still work like it normally does.

 

Then how can I maintain the Hotmail accounts? I have a bunch of folks that have those e-mail addresses for me and I have a lot of accumulated amil with info in it I do not want to lose?
Thanks for all your help,
