How does OUTLOOK be different on2 different computers? is it taking up space on my hard drive &m

I don't understand how outlook can be different on mail on 2 different computers unlike yahoo or hotmail. Is it directly on each hard drive %26 memory? How do I uninstall %26 reinstall to get it to work right? Should i do this with the outlook express still or change it to just outlook and how. It seems it may be smarter on space to take it out totally(if I knew how) and stick to yahoo or hotmail.

Outlook was a solution in the past to store tons of emails in the past- you have gmail now, which makes your stockpile of emails like a small network with a search engine. Outlook(at least for my gmail account) stores emails on your computer, which means that any mail deleted in outlook is not deleted in your gmail account. Outlook is a email downloader and sender, that's all. If you want to delete emails in your email account you probably have to log in to the email webpage to do so.

For gmail,

1) Create a profile("gmail" for example).

2) Set incoming and outgoing "addresses"

--stmp.gmail.com and pop.gmail.com or something.Check the email website(s).

3) Set ports for the incoming and outgoing mail. Probably for your firewall or the server to identify recieving/sending email requests.

I'm not a frequent user of outlook, so pardon any mistakes i may have made. :)
