• How can I get help outlook express? When I send a mail, I get an error message indicating the e-mail was sent not.

  Had problems with Outlook Express.  When I send a mail, I get an error message indicating the e-mail was sent not.  The e-mail has been sent, but it never leaves the output area.  I have to go and delete the e-mail.  Then I don't have a folder of e-mails, except in my deleted file.
  Any help would be appreciated.

  You have apparent dbx file corruption.

  Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.

  Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

  In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

  With OE closed, find the DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.

  After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

  Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

  General precautions for Outlook Express:

  Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

  Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:

  Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

  Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck analysis when the option is the result of e-mail messages.

  Compact often as specified above.

  And backup often.

• How can I get my outlook express in windows 7

  First question: is there a difference between Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail?

  Second question: is one of the two already in Windows 7?

  Third question: I was going to do an easy transfer from the Windows of my computer in XP with Outlook Express to my new computer with Windows 7. If Windows 7 is already Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail all my etc. in Outlook messages are transferred in the new e-mail program?

  Fourth question: If Windows 7 does not have one of the mentioned e-mail programs should I download one of them in the old computer and my Outlook etc messages in the new program, and THEN make an easy transfer on the new computer (after I also download the same e-mail program on this computer if it is not already)?

  If this has already been addressed in another post please direct me there.  If I should ask this question somewhere else please tell me where.

  Thank you!

  WIndows mail is only under Vista. And Windows live, you need to install first. Windows 7 does not come with an email program.

  You cannot use Outlook express in windows 7. And I don't think you can transfer Outlook itself overall. You need to reinstall CD. But you should be able to export the emails and contacts from the old Outlook and import them into Outlook. Once that reinstall you on Windows 7

• How can I stop spam into my Inbox to in windows live mail

  I can't configure my windows live mail to set up so I don't get junk e-mail or spam in my Inbox. When I try to get help everything seems set with hotmail and non-windows live

  (WLM) Unique Windows Live Mail spam settings are on the configuration screen"Security Options"

  In WLM 2011

  ALT F > Options > Security Options

  If not use account type Hotmail with the HTTP in WLM, the "Security Options" is the only possible configuration for pop3 accounts.  FYI - your pop3 account provider can provide junk e-mail filter settings in the web interface of the account.

  If you have a Hotmail type account program WLM installation and the junk e-mail filter in the previous Hotmail web interface takes on the local WLM junk e-mail filter. To set up a filter spam from Hotmail type account

  -Login with your Hotmail username/pw account at http://mail.live.com or hotmail.com

  -Click Options (upper-right) > more Options > filters and reports

  > Check 'Standard' or 'exclusive '.

  -Click Options (upper-right) > more Options > Safe and blocked senders

  > Configure each section (shippers, security mailing lists, the blocked sender) according to your specific preferences

  Note: A good amount of junk e-mail by spammers is sent with an addresess email sending false or often changed. Block a sender does not spam from appearing in your Inbox.  Caution when blocking a sender - test message properties to make sure you does not clog your e-mail address or an existing one comes into contact with address - since spammers can have forged headers (sender) with your or contact address.

• Where can I get help online with the help of Windows Live Mail?

  original title:. Windows Live Mail

  I've recently updated to Windows Live Mail. There is no help or Tools tab and I can't understand how to add a note/signature to my posts

  There's a Signatures tab on the program options sheet.

  Program options have been well hidden in 2011 WLMail. There are several ways to access:
  • Click the indefinable button to the left of the home tab. In the menu that opens, select Options , and then click mail.
  • Click the indefinable button to the left of the Home tab. In the menu that opens, select Options. Click Mail , and then select Add to the Quick Access toolbar (QAT). This will put a button for one click access to the sheet of options on the toolbar for QUICK access in the upper left of the window. Go over it; It's called Mail.
  • Use the quick access keys: press Alt, then F O Mr. or, if you did (2), press Alt, then n if the mail button is the n th from left to right on the QUICK access bar.
  • Use the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl-Shift-O for Options.
  Windows Live Mail has its own support at the Windows Live Solution Centerforums. Please address any other question you may have on one of the forums on the right side of this page. You are probably asked to give your version of WLMail and Windows so that the answer may be more accurate.

  Try this.

  then on the drop down menu - options - mail

  Compose tab

  Fonts seem to be listed there.

  Click font settings, to adapt to your needs,

  and see if this holds for emails send/dial

  If it works and is OK, it's similar on the tab [read] - fonts for reading emails.

  When I went to send a link to a video Today Show, I could not send it via Outlook Express. How to make a server to help me send videos from Web sites?

  To use Outlook Express, you must set up your account with it. You must know the names of the servers POP3 and SMTP from your ISP uses and perhaps a few other things. The best way to get the information you need is normally to look at on the web site of the ISP, but you can usually also call them and ask them.

• How can I get my DVD to be released in windows live photo gallery? I want to change my DVD

  I would burn my master DVD to the hard drive on my laptop, so I can open the video in Windows Media Player. I hope I can edit it and burn videos from family.

  Just copy the files from the DVD to a folder on your
  hard drive.

  The following steps may be worth a try...

  I guess this isn't a commercial with DVD
  copy protection? If_yes_read on...

  (FWIW... break the copy protection on)
  commercial DVDs is illegal).

  When you insert the DVD in your DVD player... close
  all the windows that can open and then go to... Start /.
  Computer... right click the icon for the DVD player
  is located in, and then select Explore or open to view the
  Directory of the DVD.

  The files you need from the DVD are the. VOB files.
  You will find them in the VIDEO_TS folder. Copy them
  in a folder on your hard drive. Or you can copy the
  full VIDEO_TS folder.

  First... just try to rename one of the. VOB files to
  . MPG or. AVI and see if it will matter in Movie Maker.
  If import works... drag the file to the timeline and
  Economy/publication it to .wmv or .avi format. Then...
  Re - import new video from .wmv to for editing.
  (Note: in Windows 7 you may be able to import the)
  VOB files in Movie Maker just as they are)

  (FWIW... you can probably play the files renamed
  in Windows Media Player to be sure that VOB
  file to edit)

  If you are unable to import the files they need to be converted
  another .wmv format would be a good choice.

  There are many programs that can do conversions...
  The following freeware is an example...:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Format Factory
  http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
  (the 'direct link' is faster)
  (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup270.zip<>
  (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
  ('all' boxes on the last screen)

  First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
  Drag FFSetup270.exe out of the folder
  and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

  Next, after the download and installation of Format
  Factory... you can open the program and
  left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
  "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
  (this is where you find your files after they)
  are converted)

  Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

  Select "all to WMV" / OK...

  Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

  That should do it...

  Good luck...
