Many thanks, I may be a bit 'uneducated' regarding Outlook so please bear with me. I have tried installing the 'old' Outlook from my Home & Student CD. It seems to install OK but I can't actually find it when I check my C drive. The only Outlook I find is the pre-installed (new) version which was on my new Acer when I bought it last week. So, to simplify, I have 'old' Outlook on my 'old' laptop but it doesn't seem to be there on the new one even after I go through the install of the whole H & S package. Can I use the new Outlook without it being cloud based ?
