  1. Open Outlook Express by double-clicking on the Outlook Express icon on your desktop. The icon is a picture of an envelope with two blue arrows wrapping around it. If you do not see an Outlook Express icon, click Start on the bottom left hand corner of your screen then move the mouse up to Programs.
