I assume that when you say you deleted Outlook Express, you mean more than just deleting the shortcut(s) to it. How did you delete or uninstall it?
If you have a restore point dated prior to when you deleted OE, you might be able to get it back by restoring to that point (I'm not ceratain, but worth a shot).
Otherwise you would use the CD to reinstall the deleted files. You should have got an XP CD with the PC if this came new from Dell. However if you updated to SP2 later, and the CD does not include SP2, that CD will not work, even if you find it (it will tell you that the versiuon of XP on your drive is later).
However, since you have SP2 you could try reinstall the full service pack 2, as suggested in thelink below. You can get the full SP2 free on a CD, or download it (266MB!) also mentioned in this link. See the section Windows XP SP2.

There is no DOS mode in XP.
