Re: Can Outlook Be Uninstalled -- With All Its Baggage?

No...

If Outlook only consumes 33 MB...

Why bother removing it?

For some reason I no longer get the annoying default message...perhaps
MS fixed that in either Outlook or WLM -- or both.

So, it's just easier to keep Outlook installed, in case Microsoft
screws the pooch on WLM "improvements" and experimentation and I have
to fallback to Outlook.

Soon, I can't use OE anymore with a POP3 account.

So, belt and suspenders is the better choice.

Further, if I start removing Outlook and its several updates who knows
what else in MS Office may come unhinged and start giving me error
messages.

I get the strong impression that the WLM team is just not as SMART as
the OE team was....

Hence my caution.

Comprende?
