Hi Garrett.

CDO doesn't come with OE,

I never said that CDO came with OE. I said that the easiest way to get a default configuration was to set up web e-mail in OE < s >.

Also, it doesn't install by default: you have to select it in the setup.

I think that is the case for Win2K. I'm not so sure about XP Pro. I just installed XP Pro on a clean machine and CDOex is installed. I don't recall having to so anything special.

BTW, there is a big difference between CDO v1.2.1 and CDO for Win2K. The latter is not an ugrade. It is a complete rewrite and is not MAPI based.
