Outlook Express with OS9 Crashing

[douglas]

My Outlook Express is crashing frequently when I click on the "send now" icon (or use keystrokes) - very annoying. I suppose upgrading to OSX could be a solution, but all my software, including CAD, is still Classic. Any thoughts?

Do you have MS office installed? there was an update that was needed to office I think. I used to ahve the same problem. That might have been with entourage though. Worth checking out. Otherwise, the first thing to do is allocate more memory to outlook express.

Yes, I have MS Office installed. I'll try allocating more memory as suggested. Thanks. Further, I'm not crazy about the Outlook Express layout - any suggestions for a better email program that would work well with OS9?
