In a word - Many

Both of them will send and receive e-mail. Both of them are written by Microsoft!

Outlook Express is strictly an e-mail & newsgroup program, whereas Outlook, which ships with MS Office, and is not a freebie giveaway, handles calendars, time scheduling, contact management, e-mail, appointments, reminders, and a whole heap more.

If you are a private individual, use Outlook Express and love it for some of the nice things it does that Outlook does not. If you are a professional person, either on your own or in a company, Outlook may provide the functions that you need.
