This comes as part of Internet Explorer (IE). It will only run if IE is installed on the machine but IE need not be running since Outlook Express can run on its own. It is available for a number of platforms including Win 3.x, Win 95/98/Me, Win NT/2000/XP and Apple MAC. For Windows Vista or Windows 7 use Windows [Live] Mail.
For Windows Vista, it is now called 'Windows Mail', for Mac OS X, you can use 'Mail'.
When you run Outlook Express for the first time the Internet Connection Wizard is displayed. This takes you through the steps needed to configure your client.
