i had the same problem. when i called at&t yesterday they told me my area would be down for 7 days, its nice to see it back up so quick...sure sucks to have to change the email and update the mailing list and online stuff tho. so why dont you like outlook express (besides it being a MS product)? i didnt really like outlook 2k when i tried it, but outlook express works fine for me, ive never had any problems with it.
