email from windows prob

[stugrip]

I am a newbie to the mac, I have installed xp in parallels on my macbook pro. I need to use quickbooks 2006 from my pc. All is installed ok but i want to send emails using my mac software as i dont want windows to connect to the web. When i try to send mail from Quick books by default it goes to outlook express in windows. I cant find a way to make it look at the mac email, please help
