What is Outlook/Outlook Express used for?

Do they give you a new email account or do you use a pre-existing one?

    Outlook and Outlook express are MS e-mail programs, built into the windows OS. Hot mail is a separate e-mail program.
    You will have to set up a up a user name and password with either.

    “Do they give you a new email account or do you use a pre-existing one?”

    You use a pre-existing one.

    Essentially, Outlook, Thunderbird, etc, are just applications you can use to manage your e-mails from your computer without having to log in to the server manually every time.
    All this presumes an existing e-mail account. When configuring the application, you will have to provide it with the necessary information for it to retrieve and send e-mails using the server hosting your account( information such as your e-mail adress, password, and the server’s retrieval (POP3) and transmission (SMTP) protocols in the form of simple web adresses).

    Outlook Express is an updated version of Outlook email.

    No, you should be able to use your original email account for both email services.

    The difference between Outlook, Hotmail, Live, Gmail, and Yahoo is this:

    Outlook *****.
    Hotmail *****.
    Live owns.
    Gmail *****.
    Yahoo owns.
