Just so you all know, I installed Outlook 2007 over Outlook 2002 as an
"update" with no problem at all. It appears that everything migrated
flawlessly. Outlook 2007 did default to an outgoing email setting that
requires authentication, which my email server does not accept. I deselected
that option and everything proceeded with no further hitch.
