• How am I able to import emails from hotmail in Windows Outlook Express for Windows 98?

  My grandfather is not familiar with Windows 98, I understand that it is a version absolete. It is impossible to access his e-mail from your Windows Live Hotmail account I would like to know how to import messages from a hotmail account in Outlook Express for Windows 98. For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

  Hello

  To import contacts and email from Hotmail addresses in your Outlook Express address book:

  • Set up access to your Hotmail account in Outlook Express.
    • If you already have contacts in your address book Outlook Express for the current identity and want to make sure that you only import Hotmail contacts, create a new Outlook Express identity for the Hotmail account.
  • Select Tools | Address book... from the menu in Outlook Express.
  • Choose Tools | Synchronize now in the menu of the address book.
    • If this choice is not available, make sure that you do not share contacts between Outlook Express and Outlook. Close and restart Outlook Express if you have made any changes to the contact sharing settings.
  • To import the contacts in a program other than Outlook Express e-mail, export the address book from the current identity and use the import feature of your mail client to add contacts from the .csv file.

• When I click on anything it either in the Outlook Express Preview window to stop answer and I have use the ctrl-alt-del combination for her all over again.

  When I click on anything it either in the Outlook Express Preview window to stop answer and I have use the ctrl-alt-del combination for her all over again. Anyone out there have the same problem? If so what did you do about it.

  Original title: I'm under Oulook Express 6 Windows XP Home SP3 environment.

  Bruce:

  The problem has been fixed (I think) but in a most unusual way. Let me explain.

  When I was closing down to give the computer a rest yesterday, there was a pop up saying that vprotector expected to close. He really wanted the process of closing until I clicked on finish the process. Curious to know what vprotector is, I searched on the net and got a lot of shots, saying: it is a virus and should be deleted pronto. So I searched the hard drive for the vprot. * and found in the folder program files for AVG!

  I then went to AVG to see if it's really a part of AVG and they said yes. If there is a problem with vprot, the toolbar is at fault and needs to be reinstalled. There was one click here to download and run the part of the program to fix the problem. However, I had WebRoot antivirus running that stopped the download of this program as a virus. Because I trust AVG, I've disabled WebRoot and reinstalled the AVG search bar.

  I haven't restarted WebRoot and computer flying along as it should, and OE is the link to IE when I click on a link as it has always done.

  Seems to me to be the faulty AVG toolbar and a cross with two virus programs upward was at fault. Thank you for your time. Your reply gave me a chance to think differently this problem could arise.

  Computers are really complicated machines and we have to be complicated to deal with their problems.

  Thanks again,

  Fred

• Try to transfer mail from outlook express to windows live but my display windows live doesn't have a tab "file" on the banner. Where is he?

  There is no bar in WLMail 2011 and 2012. What version do you use? The last version to work under XP (this forum) is WLMail 2009 and having a Menu bar with file on it.
   
  If you transfer to a more recent machine...
   
   
   
  In Outlook Express, compact you files first.
   
  
  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.

• during the transition from Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail, is the address book data stored and also the info in files

  I'm afraid that if I upgrade the form Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail, I will lose all e-mail addresses in my address book current as well as the information contained in the files - models etc.

  If you install WLMail on your XP machine, it has to import messages and addresses automatically and nothing will be lost of OE.
   
  If you like WLMail better than OE, you are a person better than I am.

• Outlook Express in Windows XP SP3 edition. My incoming emails started to go directly in my deleted items folder.

  I use Outlook Express in Windows XP Service Pack 3. several weeks ago, some of my incoming emails began to go to my Inbox deleted instead of my box. All shippers are in my Contacts List.Why is it?

  Cam

  original title: the Emails given erroneous instructions

  As I said in my first answer, click file | Identities and establish a new identity.  See if that solves the problem, which will remove any possible corruption of the registry for OE.  In addition, antivirus and antispam programs do not work well with OE, so they could contribute, depending on what you are using.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

• How can I get my outlook express in windows 7

  First question: is there a difference between Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail?

  Second question: is one of the two already in Windows 7?

  Third question: I was going to do an easy transfer from the Windows of my computer in XP with Outlook Express to my new computer with Windows 7. If Windows 7 is already Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail all my etc. in Outlook messages are transferred in the new e-mail program?

  Fourth question: If Windows 7 does not have one of the mentioned e-mail programs should I download one of them in the old computer and my Outlook etc messages in the new program, and THEN make an easy transfer on the new computer (after I also download the same e-mail program on this computer if it is not already)?

  If this has already been addressed in another post please direct me there.  If I should ask this question somewhere else please tell me where.

  Thank you!

  WIndows mail is only under Vista. And Windows live, you need to install first. Windows 7 does not come with an email program.

  You cannot use Outlook express in windows 7. And I don't think you can transfer Outlook itself overall. You need to reinstall CD. But you should be able to export the emails and contacts from the old Outlook and import them into Outlook. Once that reinstall you on Windows 7
