  • How can I configure Outlook Express 6 to receive mail and my smart phone.

    original title: Outlook Express

    I recently bought a smart phone and set up the email.

    Now, all the e-mail goes directly on my phone.

    How to configure Outlook Express 6 to allow a copy of my mail to get to my phone and Outlook?

    Please don't say Outlook and Outlook Express in the same sentence. They are completely different programs.

    In OE: Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Check: leave a copy of messages on the server. On your "smart" phone, you must do the equivalent.

    OE or your smart phone, you want to check for delete after X days. Enough time to get the messages on both, but not exceed your space on your e-mail server.

    Even if you have me say what kind of phone and which provider you use, I could not help you any further. If you don't see the option on your phone, call your support of wireless technology. You pay for it in your contract and they should be happy to help you.

  • How can I configure Outlook Express to receive messages to different mailboxes (via POP3) but to send messages and responses using a single SMTP account?

    How can I configure Outlook Express to receive messages to different mailboxes (via POP3) but to send messages and responses using only a single SMTP account?

    In other words, I need to download via POP3 messages sent to the * address email is removed from the privacy *, * address email is removed from the privacy *, * address email is removed from the privacy * but I want to send messages using Mar SMTP service associated to * address email is removed from the privacy *

    If I get a message like * address email is removed from the privacy * I want to answer as * address email is removed from the privacy *.

    Is this possible?

    You can do this if the Server SMTP allows you to send from a location that you are not connected via their internet service.  So if you have this permission, go to tools | Accounts | Add mail.  Then under the account of property | You want to set the server for incoming mail to the POP3 account, and then the SMTP protocol for the other account that you use to send servers.  And then indicate whether or not the server requires authentication, and if yes, then you will need to put in the user name and password for the SMTP server it.  Under properties. Advanced to define appropriate ports that may be different from the default value according to e-mail accounts.  You can also check the "leave a copy of messages on the server" for accounts POP3, if you access messages from multiple computers.

    Once you have an account set up, then you can set others upward in the same way, but change the POP3 properties for each while leaving the SMTP ones the same.

    Once you have all that in place, you might want to backup things in case something goes wrong: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6

  • How can I make Outlook (which replaced Hotmail) my default email?

    I was previously using MSN Premium and have decided not to renew my subscription and just use hotmail. However, my hotmail account was converted to the new format, Outlook. When I go to my default list to choose a program to default email that I'll use for quick access, or Outlook or Hotmail appears on this list either. How can I make the new Outlook my default email?

    Normally, I first click START and then click on "default programs". Then I click on "Set your default programs."

    This 'New' Outlook which has replaced my Hotmail not even appears in the list of programs so that I can set it as the default e-mail program.

    I am running Windows Vista and using Internet Explorer 9 (which is constantly freezing up now!)

    I hope that helps you identify and solve my problem. Thank you.

    Hi Nancy,.

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    Please be informed that Outlook.com is a service of free web mail from Microsoft, like Hotmail.com; for example, you can't use it as default mail client/program.

    You can download the program from Windows live mail and then try to add Outlook.com account to check, if that makes a difference.

  • How can I repair outlook express 6 to allow deletion of an email

    I can't delete emails.  Any help with the repair of outlook express?

    It is not a difficult fix. You need to clean things up.
     
    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and move the messages you want to record off deleted items, and sent items. Locate the OE message store and then close OE.
     
    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, the files of user OE (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 Deleted Items.dbx and Sent Items.dbx files and delete them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE.
     
    Compact all folders as described below.
     
     
     
    To avoid this in the future:
     
    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:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095
     
    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.
     
    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

  • How can I download outlook express 6 for xp computer

    I've never used Outlook Express 6 on the xp computer. I uninstalled this email I used. So, I wanted to start using outlook express 6 on my XP computer.

  • How can I transfer outlook express files from windows XP to windows 7 on my new laptop?

    I was able to transfer my address book, but unable to transfer my e-mail files express outlook my desktop (Windows XP) to my laptop (windows7).  I used an easy transfer cable, but have all the files I wanted.

    The transfer is easy, but you fail to mention what e-mail program you use. Windows 7 does not have a mail client included as OE in XP.
     
    If you use Windows Live Mail, so I'd say do this way.
     
    Transfer of data from Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail:
     
    For Messages:
     
    Copy the * ENTIRE * OE message store folder to a flash drive. (Folders.dbx must be included). Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail. Open WLMail and: file | Import | Messages | Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and the point where it was saved.
     
    Location of OE message store:
     
    In OE: 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.
     
    For addresses:
     
    Open the address book in OE and file | Export | Address book (wab) and save it to the desktop. Copy it to a flash drive. Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail.
     
    Open the Contacts list in WLMail, (go |) Contacts in the Menu bar) and the file | Import | Address book (wab) Windows and the point where you saved it.
     
    Note: If you use a CD or a DVD instead of a flash drive, after placing on the new machine you must remove the read-only attribute in the properties before you import.
     
    For the account settings:
     
    In OE: Tools | Accounts, select the account and export it to the desktop. This will be an .iaf file. Copy it to the new computer and WLMail desktop: tools | Accounts and import the settings from the location you saved the.

  • How can I install outlook express I DO NOT LIKE WINDOWS LIVE MAIL

    I don't like windows live mail hoe can install express look?

    On Friday, November 2, 2012 17:59:29 + 0000, Billie Skov says:

    I don't like windows live mail

    I'm not either. I think it's the worst email program I've ever seen.

    But there are a lot of other choices of e-mail programs, some for sale
    and some are free.

    can hoe I install express look?

    You can not. Outlook Express disappeared for several years. Windows
    XP was the last version of Windows to include it.

    You have chosen to install Windows Live Mail or is it entered
    preinstalled on your computer? If your computer came with Windows 7
    pre-installed and also Windows Live Mail, which is not because Windows 7
    came with it, it is because your computer manufacturer delivered it
    with what he sold you.

    Some people will tell you to use Windows Live Mail; others will say
    You can use Thunderbird; still others may have other recommendations.

    My advice is to ignore all of these recommendations. I personally use
    Microsoft Outlook for the mail and Forte Agent for groups of discussion, but you
    must try several and choose what you prefer, rather than
    your decision based on what I, or anyone else, like better (or even
    what Microsoft suggests).
