Can you tell me which is better Outlook or Outlook Express?Also how can i
download Outlook or Outlook Express and get all the programs that go with it?
 
Outlook Express is free, er, at least included with the price of windows.

Outlook is not free. You have to buy it. Most people buy it as part of some
version of the Microsoft Office Suite. (I'm not sure it is even packaged as a
standalone product.)

MS shares some of the differences here:

I would bet that you have Outlook Express already installed on your pc. It's
pretty much part of a standard install -- even if you don't ever use it.
 
Outlook Express is installed when you install the Windows operating system and a
download is not necessary.

Outlook is part of the MS Office suite and cannot be downloaded. You must
purchase the Office Suite or MS Outlook standalone.

For Outlook standalone...................

Which is better...........?

Depends what features you want.

MS Outlook has more functions but OE is great for email and as a news reader.

Unfortunately, it is. My wife bought standalone Outlook 2002 years ago, not
realizing that she already had Outlook 2000 on her PC.
 
Ouch.
