Windows Forum / Outlook Express / OE 5.x / November 2004How do I update to OE6 from OE5.5
At the outset, thanks for your help. And my apolgies if this is not the right newsgroup for my question. Currently I use OE5.5, with Win98 and Internet Explore 6.0 (Sp1). When I open OE it says Outlook Express 5 but fine details show it as 5.5.4522.1200. So I guess I have OE5.5. How do I go about upgrading to OE 6. Do I need to uninstall IE 6 and then reinstall IE6 to upgrade to OE6. If I do so what would happen to the messages in my OE% Thanks -TC _______________________ T. Chittooran Post replies to the group please How to Add and Remove Internet Explorer Components http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=171229 Your messages should survive the install, but it's always a good idea to backup anything of value regularly, especially before an install or uninstall. Backing Up, Recovering and Restoring Outlook Express versions 5 & 6 Files and Settings http://www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/backup/index.htm Normally on upgrade, your old mail is automatically imported by Outlook Express. Sometimes this fails and you need to do a manual import (File, Import). If you were previously using OE5, select OE6 as the import type since OE5 and OE6 use the same file formats.

Last time I looked, everybody and me were having a hell of a time trying to get our POP3 back. I am finally back to OE5.5.

If you mean MSN mail, that's HTTP mail unless you haven't updated MSN Explorer for a long time. SignatureFrank Saunders, MS-MVP, IE/OE Please respond in Newsgroup only.
