Outlook is located on the same computer

In this Article OE, WM or WLM contains all your messages and is located on the same machine as Outlook. It is assumed that Outlook has already been installed and configured with your mail account. Contact your mail administrator or ISP if you do not know the mail account settings. If you've already tried to configure Outlook before but were not successful, you'll have to start with a clean mail profile.
