Outlook Express problems

My e mail provider is inbox.com. I set it up to open in Outlook Express (with much difficulty) and it works for a week or so then it wont send mail, says my address isn't recognized. After a year of frustration I switched to Firefox. I was surprised that it imported all of my settings and addresses. I didn't have to do a thing. So far I love it. Hopefully it will continue to work great. Can I delete Outlook Express?

No, it's part of the operating system like IE.

Maybe I spoke too soon. I can't get it to open my e-mail like OE did. There must be somthing in the settings I missed,also it blocks some senders,PCMech included.

If you are using Firefox, you are using a Web interface, not a POP/SMTP client. You need to do some server-side configuration.
