Distinctions between MS Outlook and Outlook Express and their File Extensions

Distinctions between MS Outlook and Outlook Express and their File Extensions

Hi,

Both programs are Microsoft Property. I give you properties of both separately so that you can understand better.

1. Outlook Express: 

• Outlook Express is a Bundled software package that comes with windows as free.
• Different versions of Windows have different versions of outlook Express.
• Outlook Express is made for personal use.
• Outlook Express supports data file size up to 2 GB.
• Outlook Express uses .dbx as extension of data files.
• All data, contacts and email settings can be exported easily with the account passwords.
• This property of Outlook Express makes it insecure some times.
• Outlook Express is less stable with files over network.

2. Ms Outlook:

• Ms Outlook is not free software.
• You can install your version of Ms Outlook on all versions of windows.
• MS Outlook serves for Personal and Business Use.
• Latest versions of this software supports up to 100 GB's of data file size.
• All data and contacts can be exported easily.
• Is very secure and we can even add passwords to our data files.
• It is a great product and works well on local systems as well as on network.
• It uses .PST as file format.
• There many great features that you will only know when you will use it.

Now I come to the second part of your query. Quick launch is the area where you are working. It is made for the users so that they can get fast access to any of the program that frequently uses. You can add any program to that area and have fast access to that. Otherwise programs are available in their installed locations.

While notification area is the windows own working area. If something happens it is sent to notification area. All errors, Alerts and software activities can be seen in notification area. Some software also uses to send alerts to notification area.

So both areas are different with different roles in windows.
