cant send emails

I have microsoft office home and student 2007 - I can see the email symbol,
it is faded, it shows when I right click that I can send emails, but click
and nothing happens! When I had microsoft 2003 I was able to email
instantly! Why do I have to save as - outlook express - email - attach
letter etc - then send ?! I thought this was a much updated version.

Anyone got any answers for me.

Many Thanks

Your version of Office does not come with Outlook, so what you're trying to
do won't work.
