Emails
are the backbone of every business either its small business or a
large scale business. In the list of email application clients,
Outlook Express is very famous email client associated with Windows
XP. Sometimes there comes a situation when user has no access to
internet. To overcome this situation, user can configure their
desktop email application client to their webmail account and can
access their email easily.
