Is it possible to receive Outlook Express emails instead of Hotmail emails
when I open Microsoft Outlook 2003. If so how would I change it?

Outlook only receives emails for the accounts that are configured

Your post doesnt indicate whether you only have a hotmail account or whether
you have a pop/smtp isp account

Here is what I have done. I wanted MSN Messenger which is now Windows Live
and comes with a free Hotmail Address. My Outlook Express setting shows
pop.telus.net - I would just like to open up my Microsoft Office Outlook and
see my incoming mail from Outlook Express if possible. I hope this makes
sense.

"Outlook Express" is not a form of email, it's an Email CLIENT just like
Outlook is. Set up your email account in Outlook and do not open Outlook
Express.

As Gordon explained outlook express is simply an email client , as is
outlook, which sends/receives mail for the account that is configured.

You need to add an account to outlook that containes the settings given by
your isp, presumably telus.net

In Outlook, click File>Import and Export>Import Internet Mail Account
Settings>Next. Select "Microsoft Outlook Express" and click Next. Follow
the remailing prompts, which should require nothing more than the default
answers (i.e., you'll just click Next a number of times). When you are
done, you will have added an Outlook account based on the OE account.
