loopers.. we are the MICROSOFT ERADICATION SOCIETY. are you that fucking stupid that you come to a site where EVERYBODY is talking shit about windows/microsoft and praising open source and freedom, and expect us to help you with an outlook express problem?? the best solution is to get rid of outlook, and install something better. again, we are the MICROSOFT ERADICATION SOCIETY, not joe blows tech support for the illiterate.
with that said, id suggest using something like mozilla, it has a very nice email client. and then whomever is using your computer can continue to use outlook, while you enjoy the freedom of mozilla. as for securing your email, format your "c" drive and install linux. that way you can keep microsoft from looking at your email as well.
