I have bought a new laptop with windows 7.
I want to be able to access my e-mails from my main PC which is running on Windows XP with Outlook Express as my e mail programme.
I don`t seem to be able to configure my laptop to do this.
Help please.

Hi leeway,

Outlook Express is part of the XP Operating System. Windows 7 doesn't have an email client built into
the operating system. You can download Windows Live Mail HERE. Be sure to select a Custom Install or
you will get Messenger, Writer, Photo Gallery, Movie Maker, Family Safety and a Toolbar along with Live
Mail. You can configure Live Mail to download your email from Outlook Express by using the same settings
as you do in OE. Your smtp and pop3 settings will be the same as your ISP email....
