Is outlook express a messenger? or just a program that is
kind of like an email program that allows me to see my msn
contacts as well?If outlook express is a messenger can I
log on to it under one name and log onto msn under another
name?Please help me.
 
Yep, Outlook express contains a messenger component.
When you are logged on to MSn and open Outlook express,
you will get the message that you have been logged out
because you are logged in somewhere else....
It took me a while to realize what was happening. Since
I'm running Zonealarm, I could prevent "Messenger" to
access to internet, although MSN messenger still has
access. That cleared the problem for me.
 
OE is a Mail Client. You can associate Windows/MSN/AOL Messenger to open
with OE in the Tools menu, in which case your Messenger contacts will also
be displayed in Contacts pane (View>Layout). The default Messenger and
Messenger account will open. Having this option enabled *will* make OE open
much slower, BTW.
