Must be your location, over here the more popular ISP's only support OE
mention OL and they go.........

I've never had an ISP not support Outlook.
Mine currently only goes back to Outlook 2000 though.

And 'support' is subjective. They clearly will help with email
connectivity
and that's about it.

I'd be surprised if your ISP supported OL, any version, they usually
only
say they support OE
PS the reason for none support of OL is that it is more than just an
email
app

Is there any way I can upgrade from OL 97 to a newer version without
having
to buy the whole office program? All i need is outlook because i just
got
dsl
and they wont support my email if i use such an old version of outlook.
any
suggestions?
