• in Outlook Express, how can I send the same message to a group important (in the address book already), but have to each recipient can only see his name (not the Group)

  In Outlook Express, how can I send the same message to the large group (already in the address book), but have to each recipient can only see his name (not the Group)?

  To use the functionality of the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy), in a new message window, click View | All headers and type the addresses separated by a; Or: Click the button to. You will see your list of contacts and the choice to put them in the To, CC, or BCC field. Click on an address, and then click BCC to add it. Repeat for all of the contacts you want. (Note: most of the providers have limits as to how many messages you can send both a. 25 is common, but it varies).

  Put your own address in the box to. That's the only name/address that any recipient will see. If you leave the field empty, some people may not receive e-mail because of message rules they put in place, or restrictions imposed by their ISP.

  You can also make an entry in the address book using your e-mail address, but put something like the mailing list in the area of the display.

  *********************

  You can also create groups if you send e-mail to the same people often.

  To create a group of contacts:

  You can create a single group name (or alias) to use when sending a message to several contacts at the same time. Just create a group name and add individual contacts to the group. Then just type the name of the group in the box for when you send mail.

  1. in the address book, select the folder in which you want to create a group. Click New in the toolbar, and then click New Group.
  2. the Properties dialog box opens. In the group name box, type the name of the group.
  3. There are several ways to add people to the Group:
  a. to add a person from your address book list, click Select members, and then click a name in the address book list.
  (b) to add a person directly to the group without adding the name to your address book, type the person's name and e-mail address at the bottom of the Properties dialog box and then click Add.
  to add a person to both the Group and your address book, click New Contact and enter the appropriate information.
  (d) to use a directory service, click Select members, and then click search. Select a directory service in the drop-down list at the end of the text box. After finding and selecting an address, it is automatically added to your address book.
  4. Repeat for each addition until your group is defined.

  Note

  a. to view a list of your groups separately from the list of address book in the address book on the view menu, make sure that folders and groups is selected.
   
  b. you can create multiple groups, and contacts can belong to several groups.

  If you want to send to a group without addresses are displayed for each recipient, open the address book and make a new entry. Enter the name of the group in the area of the display, but use your address. (Some Internet service providers require a legitimate address in the line to and recipients will know it's from the Group).

  Click on the button to. Enter the name of the group using your address. Enter the group in the BCC field.

  1: 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.

  If you do this, you must let your computer 24/7, be connected to the Internet and open your e-mail program. If you want to do this anyway, the link below will show you how do it. One thing I would say is that where it says to create a rule and change you it to check for all Messages, and that the rule for the people in your address book. Otherwise you will answer Spam as well and could end up in an infinite loop of rebounds.

  Most of the servers of ISPs Internet/Mail to offer this service which would be a better choice.

• Outlook Express: How to change the default location of mail and press kits?

  I use windows XP with Outlook Express 6 (6.00.2900.5512).
  I want to change the destination of the mail folder. (MY C drive is made of only 6 Gbs, and 5.5 GB is now eaten.)

  It's a bit complicated, so do first a backup of your posts.  See www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx

  So what you do is to create a new directory where you want to as the message store to be moved.  Then, in OE, go to tools | Options | Maintenance | Store the file and set this new directory.  Then close OE and reopen it.  OE will then move the store the entire message to this new location.  Do NOT move the files yourself.  If you do, then OE will overwrite the files that you moved and you will lose all your messages.

  So save your messages first, and then create a new directory to the new location and then say OE the new location and when you open it again, it will move the files.

  To clear more room, also go to start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Disk Cleanup and which should lead to more space on the disk.

• My computer will not delete emails in my Outlook Express, how to fix this?

  I hope you can help!

  You have corruption of dbx files.
   
  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, 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 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.

• Outlook Express: How to remove attachments in an Email received without changing anything else

  Hi Bruce et al.,.

  By "anything" I mean the date of the email such as Outlook Express.

  The problem that I am overcoming makes my huge Message Store because of a few emails I get with huge attachments.

  I can save attachments on my hard drive, but I still want to save email for reference.

  In the past, I have created a response to the email, which is not fix the fastener, but have not sent. I keep the 'response' and delete the original e-mail. It's messy, but it works.

  I looked for a solution and fall on this one. I would like to know if there is a better and safer way.

  What I do is drag the e-mail on my desk and correct it in "Notepad ++» I remove what looks like an attachment that appears to be encoded in base64.

  For example, I remove from here:

  -0016364eef3a6cb259049c527692

  Content-Type: application/pdf; name = '.pdf '.
  Content-Disposition: attachment;
  "filename ='.pdf '.
  Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
  X fixing-Id: f_gk6v23of0

  MTYvRSAyMTY5MjkvTiA0NTkvVCA5NTc4MDgwL0ggWyA3MDE2IDE3OTMwXT4 + DWVuZG9iag0gICAg...

  here:

  MDAwIG4NCjAwMDk1NzQwMTIgMDAwMDAgbg0KMDAwOTU3NDEyMCAwMDAwMCBuDQowMDA5NTc3ODI1
  IDAwMDAwIG4NCnRyYWlsZXINCjw8L1NpemUgMjQxMz4 + DQpzdGFydHhyZWYNCjExNg0KJSVFT0YN
  CG IS
  -0016364eef3a6cb259049c527692-

  The two identical lines "- 0016364eef3a6cb259049c527692 -" seem to define the attachment, and when the file is saved and dragged in my OE Inbox, it looks and reads the same, same dates etc, but with no commitment and no apparent problems with OE to open it.

  Is there a better way?

  Thanks as usual for any help you can give.

  Roger.

  I don't think that your question is so bad. In theory, each dbx file has a maximum capacity of 2 GB. In reality, they probably become corrupted long before that. Normally, I propose now about dbx files a 300 MB max to err on the side of caution. 0.25 GB = 250 MB, (kinda, sorta, close enough), so it's not a problem.

  You need to be most concerned with is backup OE on a regular basis. Here's my standard advice for OE. Last mentioned is OEQB backup tool that is invaluable, still free.

  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.

  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.
