Outlook Express won't run under Vista.
A different program, named Outlook, will. Versions 2003 and 2007
run well under Vista; versions 2000 and 2002 also run under Vista,
but with some problems. If you want to discuss Outlook, you're likely
to get better answers in a newsgroup meant for Outlook, such as:
microsoft.public.outlook.general
If you want to download Outlook, it comes as part of some, but not all,
of the Microsoft Office packages, available at extra cost.

The vista.mail newsgroup is meant for discussing the email/newsreader
program that comes with Vista, properly known as Windows Mail.
