Outlook Express is the easy way to send e-mail and participate in Internet newsgroups. Even if you've never sent e-mail before, Outlook Express makes it simple by including a setup wizard to help you get started. If you're switching from another e-mail program, the import function lets you transfer your address book and messages quickly and easily.

Set up accounts for all of your family members that will allow everyone to check mail without having to reconnect to the Internet for each user. Outlook Express makes e-mail more exciting by giving you a selection of colorful stationery and the ability to send e-mail as Web pages using HTML mail. You can even create your own personal stationery to give your e-mail a distinctive touch.
