Hi Dot25,

Thanks for posting. I'm a bit confused about your position. Is - this two questions? A when you click on a desktop icon that they just blink and the other being a problem where you cannot remove your email address?

Thank you

  • How can I have my default server (ATT) e-mail format, windows XP (which I want to keep as a default), replace the Outlook Express window when I'm tryin for a company whose I am the web site e-mail browzing?

    Currently, when I'm browzeing a website and click on their email option to write, I always get the format of Outlook Express. I have it fill my msg, click on send - he's trying to send but don't market not to go. I just get a msg of error that server is not found.

    According to Bruce, you get to make it appear the webmail interface to the AT & T mail server.  To work around the problem, you can either a configuration for AT & T account in OE under Tools | Accounts | Add | By mail, or if you want to do, when he evokes the new OE message by clicking on the mailto link, then just copy the e-mail address in the window of the EO, close it and compose a new message and paste this link into the email field.

    Webmail is not configured to be able to handle mailto links.  This is why they have separate e-mail programs.

  • How can I obtain/use e-mail? Outlook express is enabled in options/Apps, but I don't see an icon of Mr. f to allow me to use it.

    In Firefox, I see no e-mail icon that would allow me to download and send e-mail messages. Followed the instructions of selection of an e-mail client (Outlook Express was already selected by default, and that's what I want), but in the form of Firefox, I see no mail icon that would allow me to select the mail to use it.
    Thanks Dave

    Outlook Express is a separate program, run it from the start menu, do not load IE.

    This is due to floating files, the result of many messages in the Inbox, or lack of compaction.

    If its a problem with your computer by sending e-mail messages, you must obtain an antivirus program, such as www.microsoft.com/security_essentials and also antimalware (www.malwarebytes.org) and carefully analyze and disinfect your computer.

    In OE, completely remove your e-mail account and close then reopen the OE.  Then add your account mail back with the appropriate credentials.  Also, go to tools | Options | Security and put it in the sensitive area and check the box that says to notify you if someone is trying to send emails like you.

    When you are finished with it, then wait 48 hours than your ISP gives you and then try receiving and sending again.
