I send emails to Tom Fortescue, but they often go to Tom < person > who used to be in my address book, but is no more

I write an email to "Tom" - my business partner. He often goes to Tom Munro, who used to be in my address book, but is no longer.

Or Tom Webb, ditto.

  • Cannot send emails via outlook express, but can receive

    can't send emails via outlook express but can receive.

    Get following error message

    The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's e-mail address. "The sender's e-mail address was..., Server:...', Protocol: SMTP, server response: ' 451 4.3.2 Please try again later ', Port: 25, secure (SSL): no, Server error: 451, error number: 0x800CCC78

    My email [email protected] mail.optusnet.com.au Server address

    Took the floor to the supplier (Optusnet) & they say it's a problem to microsoft

    And this is your address which is rejected, correct? This happens if you try to send a message to yourself?

    My money is on a server problem that will clear up on its own, but you can try a few things to eliminate that he's on your side.

    1: Disable the 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:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
    http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

    Note that for many AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck e-mail scanning when the option is available.

    2: Create a new sent items and Outbox.

    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.

  • Can send email from Windows Live, but cannot receive. The settings are correct with Comcast.

    I cannot receive emails in Windows Live but you can send.  The settings are correct, according to Comcast.

    If your settings are not as shown here, they are not correct. With Comcast tech support, which wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
  • The button send on my MacBookPro has disappeared and I can't send emails on this device, but I can send it on my iPhone 6. I just upgraded to El Capitan

    The button 'Send' on my Mac Book Pro has disappeared and I can't send him. Other devices on the same WiFi have their buttons send and can send messages. I can also send mails on my iPhone6Plus. So, it doesn't seem to be a problem with the supplier or the connection. I've recently updated to El Capitan. That's happened? How can I get the back button?

    "You can not configure Windows Mail to use an e-mail account on the Web (HTTP) on a computer that is running Windows Vista"

    Windows Mail supports more HTTP servers that are used by Hotmail and other e-mail providers such as AOL mail, Google mail, Yahoo! mail Web.

    Read the info on the link above to Microsoft re HTTP and Hotmail.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Here is the workaround from MS:

    Use Windows Live Mail instead of Windows Mail

    Windows Live Mail is an e-mail program that you install on your computer. Windows Live Mail stores messages on your computer. This means that you can access, read, and compose e-mail messages even if you are not connected to the Internet.

    Windows Live Mail works with popular Web-based e-mail services such as Hotmail, AOL mail, Google mail, and Yahoo! mail. Windows Live Mail is designed to configure automatically many popular e-mail services.

    To install Windows Live Mail, see the Microsoft Web site at the following address.

  • There are 9 users on my drive C but Iam the "only person" who use my pc - it's strange?

    My OS is Windows 7 SP1 - a Gateway desktop computer I bought for me in 2009 - while I was trying to get administrative privileges to my pc as 'run as' is not acceptable for a Fix It solution. I stumbled on what might or might not be a problem, and of course, I would appreciate your opinion on the fact that I have (the only person who ever uses this pc) 9 users on my C drive. To simplify my concern here is what I want to know: can I remove one of these if they do not have a purpose?

  • Can't send emails via outlook express but can receive. Error message - outlook cannot connect to smtp (0 x 80042109)

    Try to send 2 messages and I cannot remove it from the Outbox to prevent them from sending.

    What is the version of Outlook Express you're using?  , and who is your email provider.

    A few steps to try would be to do a connection test to see if the SMTP server has been configured correctly,

  • I can send emails on Outlook Express but I have not received email 5 days

    Please help me? I learned by the folks at Microsoft that my problem is in my mail exchange server settings. They suggested that I ask this question here for not paying additional fees. Any assistance in finding ways to fix the problem would be much appreciated.

    It is possible or likely that the MS person you correspond to got confused between the two as well.

    There might be corruption in the database account in OE that prevents the receipt of messages.  Try to go to file | Identities and setup a new identity.  That will make everything fresh and then add your account and see if it works then.  If so, use file | Import | Messages to bring them from the old identity.

  • Meadow Bell send email on account Telus (mail Application Alert)

    Hi all

    Help required on all you smart people out there.

    I've just activated a Bell Palm Pre in the Canada, and my email provider is Telus.

    I entered my e-mail address of Telus and the password during the first start-up procedure, and the Pre started up well and was able to sync with my e-mail Web of Telus server.  I have seen emails pushed to my Inbox and could also see the other folders in my webmail account.

    Then I tried to send an email, and the problems began.  My email was sent to my hotmail ([email protected]) account.  When I hit send, the status line at the bottom of the pre says "sending"test"  (I called my first email 'test').  Then a few seconds later, I had another status that says "error sending"test"  Then a little envelope icon showed up on the bottom right and clicking on the icon has raised a large triangle of yellow warning with the message "alert Email-request" and below "error sending"test"  The outgoing email then just sits in the Outbox with a small yellow triangle next to him.

    Then I went into my email account settings and went in the "Change Log-In Settings.

    My incoming mail server was listed as imap.telus.net but incoming worked OK, so I got that.

    The outgoing mail server was smtp.telus.net and the button 'Use authentication' was in position 'On' with my email address and password below.  He used the port 587 without encryption.

    The first thing I tried was to "use authentication" in the Off"" position.  Button slipped to 'Off', so, then, I left the settings page.  The status line at the bottom of the pre says "Update Preferences".  So just to check, I went back to the settings page, and the 'use authentication' was mysteriously turned to 'On '.  I tried this several times since then, and the Pre refused to organize the marketing in 'Off', my 'use authentication' is now always 'On '.

    At this point, I called Bell Tech Support.  I talked to a guy named 'Jimmy '.  He had me change the outgoing mail to mail.telus.net and then to mail.1xbell.ca server, but none of those who have helped.  In fact, they seem worse, because now the Pre would be trying to send the email out about 30 seconds to a minute before you puke upwards the same error as before.

    Jimmy asked me to change the settings for the port at 20 and activate the SSL encryption.  Nothing helps.

    Jimmy finally said that he could not help and I should call Palm support.  But by then, they were closed for the night.

    I thank Jimmy and continued to try to work around.  I put all my settings back to what they were before I talked to Jimmy.  I tried a few more things, which sent an email to another address of [email protected] .  WOW! Success!  This e-mail is sent successfully.  But wtf?  Why only at telus.net email addresses?

    It was about midnight, and I got on the phone to technical support of Telus (they're going 24 x 7).  I logged on to Vartsala.  I explained the problem (about four times) that I could only send to addresses [email protected] and to me it seemed that Telus smtp e-mail server blocking addresses other than telus.net e-mail addresses.  She insisted that the smtp server of Telus is not the problem, and it is the Palm Pre level.  But why the Palm could send email [email protected] , but not the email [email protected] ?  She could not answer.  I then spoke to her supervisor, who also insisted, it wasn't a problem with the smtp server of Telus.  Then, she refused to me more help because she said it wasn't a problem of Telus, and there was nothing she could do.

    This is my first question to anyone out there:  Is this a problem of Palm Pre, or is there a problem with the e-mail Telus smtp server accepts only not messages of the pre unless you be directed to the address [email protected] ?

    This morning I called Palm support and then be put on hold for an hour, techcinal I am connected to "Juliette".  Juliet took down my info and said that she would not be able to help with this.  She said a person you will call later today, or maybe in a few days and I should be patient.  So, no solutions there.

    Any ideas anyone?

    See you soon.

    OK people, I think we have a winner.

    I finally got frustrated while I sponsored a conference call with a Palm level 3 tech support guy, the representative of Telus and a representative of Bell.  We were waiting for a total of 45 minutes that I chained call along and everyone eventually got on the same line.

    So here's the deal: the installation must be done manually as proposed by thepoet.  The incoming server is OK as imap and imap.telus.net without encryption.  The outgoing server must be set to point to mail.1xbell.ca WITHOUT authentication, port 25 and no encryption.  Initial Bell tech support guy was very close to the solution, just the incorrect port number and the wrong sequence of implementation.

    I could send successfully, but want to try a few things more before I declare it is a complete success.

    Thanks for your help, poet, really appreciate your persistence.
