1)Outlook Express is an e-mail and news client bundled with certain versions of Microsoft Windows starting with Windows 95 OSR-2. It is bundled with the Internet Explorer 4.0 web browser by Microsoft (also bundled with some versions of Windows), and also available as a no-charge download for the classic Apple Macintosh operating system (although not for the newer Mac OS X, where it has been replaced by Microsoft Entourage, which is sold as part of Microsoft Office for Macintosh).Outlook Express is the successor of Microsoft Internet Mail and News, an early e-mail client add-on for Internet Explorer 3.0.In October 2005, Microsoft announced that the next version of Outlook Express (to be released with Windows Vista) would be renamed as Windows Mail. Microsoft is also developing Windows Live Mail Desktop, a replacement for Outlook Express on Windows XP and Vista that will feature a super-set of Windows Mail's features.
2)Outlook (full name Microsoft Office Outlook) is a personal information manager from Microsoft, and is part of the Microsoft Office suite.Although often used mainly as an e-mail application, it also provides a calendar, task and contact management, note taking, and a journal.It can be used as a stand-alone application, but can also operate in conjunction with Microsoft Exchange Server to provide enhanced functions for multiple users in an organization, such as shared mailboxes and calendars, public folders and meeting time allocation.
