Would it be better or easier for my father to use Outlook or Outlook Express.
He needs eMail to be as simple as it can be.

THanks!
 
Probably Outlook Express - less features and a bit easier to navigate. He
might not need the rest of Outlook.
 
outlook express will be much less complicated for him.

I might go so far as to say skip both and just go for gmail. It's far less
complicated than both, I feel.

Less complicated for who? The person who's responsible for mail
configuration or the email users? It's definitely less complicated because
there's no mail client configuration required. A functioning web browser and
internet connection is all that's needed. Not necessarily true for mail
users though. I think OL Express is less complicated for (non technical)
mail users as long as they don't have to set it up themselves :-)

I would disagree. gmail, from a usability standpoint, is generally much
more friendly for a novice user. Conversations are very clearly threaded
and configuration options are minimal, which is exactly what you want for
someone who is completely novice.
