  I want to use Outlook Web Access for Mac (snow leopard 10.6.8), I don't want to use the light version, I want the full version but I can't push off the mark on the light version. I have firefox 3.6.10

  (1) you must update at least Firefox 3.6.24 because there are questions of SECURITY of KNOWN MANY with the version you are using.

  (2) the light version is required on non - IE browsers, except if you are running Exchange Server 2010. With Exchange 2010 they added support for multiple browsers run in the version "no light".

  I want to use the digital signature on a form to fill out, but can't. My digital signature is created, but I can't use it.

  If you want to type their name, you can add a text field, but they can do it in any case either by using the comment tool to add text or the pencil comment (if they want to hand-draw draw a signature).

• I use OUtlook Express for e-mail. Night that suddenly disappeared from the value of a full year of emails - for example from October 2011 to the today October 2012. How can I get back them?

  I have been using Outlook Express 6 for more than 20 years without a single problem so far. Value of a full year of emails has disappeared all of a sudden my box but all e-mail messages seem to be always in place of my sent folder.

  How can I recover these e-mails Inbox?

  Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.
   
  Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :
  http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact
   
  Why mail disappears:
  http://www.insideoe.com/problems/bugs.htm#mailgone
   
  Recovery methods:
   
  If you are running XP/SP3, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.
   
  To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.
   
  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 .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.
   
  Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.
   
  Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.
   
  First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.
   
  If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.
   
  If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
   
  If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:
   
  DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:
  http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx
   
  And see:
  
  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4
   
   
   
   
  A general warning to help avoid this in the future:
   
  Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.
   
  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:
  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 
   
  And backup often.

• Adding electronic signature from a file by using outlook express 6

  I use Outlook Express 6 for my emails and I'm trying to set up a signature to email when I send emails. I have no problem that when inserting in the text to help: Tools > Options > Signature > and selecting text in the section change Signature, and then by typing the text in French - it works very well.

  The problem is, I want to add a signature to a file that has color, different fonts and a logo. I tried to do to help to change Signature, and then click Add files, and then browse to select the file. He refuses to use the file for the signature to e-mail. I tried to save the file as a rich text, web page, pdf, and Word but still get the following message - WARNING: the signature file is not a valid text file. I even tried to copy / paste - still nothing. I'm out of ideas. Please can someone help?

  If you can not manually insert it into a new message, you can't have a sig out of it.

  Note: The HTML Signatures must be less than 4 KB.

  Open a new Message window and create your signature. (Insert the graphic & text). Click on the Source tab (view |) Source Edit if not already checked). Highlight the complete source code and copy / paste into Notepad. File | Save under and in the file name field, save as htm, (i.e. Sig1.htm). It will be saved in My Documents by default. Go to tools | Options | Signatures. Click: File | Browse and insert your saved signature | Apply. You can now rename it if you wish.

• How can I install and use outlook express as email scanned by default on windows xp?

  I scanned an article on Brother MFC-J270W and tried to send the article by e-mail. Blurb came "I want to make Outlook Express my dfault". I clicked Yes. Then an error message came up with error 0x800CCC0D # and I couldn't e-mail my digitized item. Help, please.

  You can not make OE your email client by default if you are not using OE. You can do the following and start using OE, but why don't you just save the scan to a Windows folder and then start a new message from Hotmail and fix it? Using OE with Hotmail is a chore, if you're not used to it.

• When you send an e-mail using Outlook Express, I immediately get this message; "Some errors occurred while processing the requested tasks. Please see the list of errors below for more details"

  When you send an e-mail using Outlook Express, I immediately get this message; "Some errors occurred while processing the requested tasks. Please see the list of errors below for more details". Unfortunately, there are no errors listed below and the green bar is frozen on the screen. The message remains in my Outbox and repeated again and again sending. There is absolutely no record and file sent in my sent box. TIA - Ernie

  You have apparent dbx file corruption. A common problem.
   
  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:

  Open the address book in the old identity and file | Export | Address book (wab) to any location on your HARD drive that is easy for you. The office is very well. Then drag that to the flash drive.

• I use outlook express 6 and I can receive an email of great but when I try to send it after making the necessary changes, i.e. the signature I get the message 'too big for the server.

  I use outlook express 6 and I can receive an email of great but when I try to send it after making the necessary changes, i.e. the signature I get the message "too big for the server" responses I've seen so far tell me absolutely nothing

  Well, the error message says it all.  "" too big for server".

  There is a limit imposed by your ISP/mail server, which you don't mention.

  Not only the servers have limits on the size, this is not necessarily the same for incoming and outgoing messages.

  If you say you use the e-mail program and the name of your e-mail server, maybe we can shed light on the more specific issue, but the problem is definitely with them and not Outlook Express.

  P.S. I'm not sure what you mean by 'signature'

• The upgrade to Windows 7 using Outlook Express for email

  I am currently using Windows XP pro, and considering the purchase of a new PC which has Windows 7 installed. I use Outlook Express as my email program. What would be the procedure to "migrate" my address book and outgoing emails from Outlook EXpress in Windows 7.

  Thanks for any help - local retailers just say it may be possible, but not sure about the process.

  Windows 7 doesn't have a native email client integrated as previous versions of Windows, so you can decide what email client you use first.

  The following versions of Microsoft Outlook are fully supported on Windows 7;

  • Outlook 2003
  • Outlook 2007
  • Outlook 2010 (when it came out)

  It is recommended to always update your version of Outlook directly after installation to take care of any question of incompatibility which have been corrected.

  Previous versions
  Another version of Outlook is not supported on Windows 7. Although you may install it, any compatibility issues is not corrected. For example;

  • Outlook 2002/XP works on Windows 7, but it has the same problems remember password when using Windows Vista.
  • Outlook 2000 cannot be installed in Internet Mail Only Mode (IMO) and must be installed in company/workgroup (CW Mode) Mode to prevent a mistake wab.dll.
