Could someone explain to me what is the point of Outlook express. There's another similar program (the name escapes me).
I've spent 12 years messing with computers and i still can't see the point of either of them. I've spent a lot of time over the years, reading manuals and help pages but i just can't see that they do anything but use up disc space. Enlighten me, do.

The purpose of Outloook Express is to link into a mail server so that you can manage your mail on your computer as opposed to using a web-based service. You can archive mail, back it up, and organize it into folders.
I use Outlook Express for my Hotmail account. At work we have Outlook (not express) which also provides collaboration and calendaring features.

its for the people who want to save email in their computer, it can also be like for those people who dont want to online to check mails. there are several options/advatages that those email software have that those online email services dont have.

It's used to email. Do you not email or do you use something else?
