How to Configure Email in Internet Explorer 8In Feburary 2016 12,
In Feburary 2016 12,
In the Tools menu, select “Internet Options.” This will open a dialog box with tabs that allow you to change features on your web browser.
Click on the “Programs” tab in the dialog box. You will see three panels: “Internet programs,” “Default web browser” and “Manage add-ons.”
Go to the “Internet Programs” block. In that block, look for the “E-mail” label (it is the second item). There is a drop-down next to this label that allows you to choose which program to use as your default email client when operating with Internet Explorer 8. There are three options: Microsoft Office Outlook, Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail.Microsoft Office Outlook is used mostly for business users but is not restricted to business purposes. Some people who have the Microsoft Office Suite use it to configure emails from other online email offerings such as Yahoo! Mail or Gmail. Microsoft Office Outlook is restricted to the computer you install it on; therefore, this option is best for at-home use or for your personal laptop.Outlook Express is very different from Outlook. They both handle email, address books and the like, but Outlook Express also handles Internet news. Outlook Express doesn’t interact with other programs such as Word, Excel, etc., therefore it is mostly a stand-alone program. Outlook has a powerful junk-mail program as well as incoming and outgoing filtering capabilities; Outlook Express can only handle incoming filtering. The biggest difference is that Outlook Express is only meant for single computers whereas Outlook email can be stored on a server and accessed from more places.Windows Live Mail is an online option for email which is great if you have a Windows Live account. The advantage to this is that you can check email from anywhere at anytime.
Click the “OK” button at the bottom of the dialog box to close the dialog box.
