In legacy versions of Microsoft-based operating systems, like Windows XP, a built-in program named Outlook Express was used to send and receive e-mails automatically. With the help of this program users were capable of creating e-mails even when they were off-line. Moreover, the application used to download all the e-mails which were received by the account as soon as the computer was connected to the internet and then the downloaded e-mails can be read off-line as well. However Outlook Express is no more available with Windows 7 and it becomes essential for the users to install Microsoft Office in order to get Microsoft Outlook which offers several promising features which are more efficient as compared to those in Outlook Express. While Working with Microsoft Outlook users can configure multiple user profiles so that they can receive and send e-mails with least overhead.
