Benefits of Using OUtlook Vs OExpress

Is there an advantage to using Outlook over OE? I have heard that Outlook doesn't handle multiple user names very well (with Earthlink, you can use 8 alias names). Also, if I change my mind, can I go back to OE? Using Outlook, I could install Nelson an email organizer which looks really good - any other suggestions? thanks...Michelle

 

Having used Outlook only briefly, I may have a somewhat skewed attitude toward it, but my impression of it was that it would be great in an office environment where I would want all of its functionality integrated into OfficeXP, but that for my newsgroup and mail uses, Outlook Express was easier to use and actually seemed to have more of the functionality I wanted.

It boils down to a matter of personal preference. When I showed some of OE's features to colleagues, they switched from O to OE.

 

artful--Here is a MS article that compares the two.
Usually, unless you need the features of Outlook (and already have paid for MS Office) you will probably be quite satisfied with OE. And as Abraxas has said, it is simpler to use.
