How do I find out what may email server incoming and outgoing servers?

Using Outlook only for email, without Outlook Express

  • I just installed a new computer and I am using Outlook for my default email. I believe the account is set up properly with the appropriate incoming and outgoing servers based on the setup of the previous computer. When in Outlook, I can send and receive email without any issues. However, when on the Internet and I click on an email (mailto:) link, my computer opens Outlook Express to send the email. I don't want to use Outlook only as my email server for everything. Please let me know how to get rid of Outlook Express.
