I can not recommend strongly enough to avoid using MS Outlook.

The programming used in it has many virus and hacker loopholes, based
partly on the bells and whistles MS has placed in the application on
purpose. Like running viri even though you didn't open the email itself.


Better would be an email client like one of these:

<http://www.eudora.com>
Eudora has a three mode client: Paid (and enabled), Lite (but free) or
full featured but Sponsored mode.


<http://www.pmail.com>
Pegasus

Forte Agent - Better know for being a newsgroup reader but has email as
well.
