  • 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).

  • in OUTLOOK EXPRESS, I can move me is more Inbox files to remove the box. Why?

    As indicated in the title.  This started after I had moved it, maybe 1000 email, delete.  I've since removed the deleted and the problem persists.  Most forms of delete not only react.  When I drag the file to delete, I have a popup saying basically, ' year error has occurred ", computer is currently low, but everything seems to work - including in and e-mail.   Thank you

    Deleted items is probably damaged. On the off chance that you want messages to be saved in deleted items, (a garbage can), move them to a local folder, you create and then follow these steps.
     
    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 files of user OE (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 file for deleted items and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.
     
     
     
    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:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095
     
    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.
     
    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program.

  • I got a partial answer to my question about "how to delete emails from the Inbox in Outlook Express. Can I track my original request with a follow-up of the issue?

    Thank you very much for your answer.
     
    Outlook Express is listed on the Start button.  Following your instructions,.
     
    I clicked on start, Control Panel, Folder Options/view.  Point of view, a list of Options have been posted and some have been checked, including 'display the hidden files and folders '.
     
    I do not know how to find Inbox.dbx.  I still find 41 messages in the Inbox, 78 in the deleted items and 14 in mass mailings.  When I click on "remove" messages, I get a message - "the server is not found. In addition, unable to poll for new messages on your HTTP server.
     
    "I uncheck" "include this account" so then, I probably is no longer get emails in Outlook Express.  My hard drive is pathetic looking.  I find a small "Ribbon of pink pie (unused space) and in the rest of the cake shape is 'BLUE'.  I thought that E-mails from Outlook Express can be responsible for my hard drive being so full. After I empty all these junk emails in 2008, I have to know what else I can remove to open more space on my hard drive.
     
    Thank you for your patience and for your help.
     
    Edie
     

    After deleting messages in OE, go to file | Folder | Compact to reduce the size of the folder.  Otherwise removal does not affect the size of a folder.  You should probably go to file | Folder | Compact everything to reduce all sizes of folder in OE.  I would like to make a backup first.

    For more free space on your disk, click Start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Disk Cleanup.

    It is not best to start a new message when you are tracking on another, because nobody knows what you're referring to when you the previous thread.  I managed to find it well and Bruce said: ' 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 '.

    Outlook Express 6 just ate the value of year of my emails.  They seem to have disappeared.  This happened after I was asked if I wanted compact (or was it archive?) my emails.  All hope of recovery?

    Thank you!

    Please read this in its entirety. It includes the restoration of the trash.
     
     
    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:

  • Outlook Express opens to maximize the window always.

    Victorinox original title: outlook express.

    Hello everyone.

    I'm new to these forms. so I hope that I've posted to the correct form. Moderators please move my post if I'm in the wrong form.

    My question is: when I opened the window of outlook express it opens in the window expand only.
    I'm not able to resize the window.
    When I try to enter this window with the mouse cursor and drag this window that does not either.
    When I click Restore down the window will minimize in the taskbar.
    the only way I can open re which minimize the window in the task bar it is right-click on it and select optimize.
    also when I right click that minimize button in the task bar and the small box opens, the move, the size and the reduced are grayed out.
    the exact behavior even happens when I open the Task Manager window and the window add / remove programs.

    I am able to enter with the cursor of the mouse normally on IE8 Windows, Notepad window, WordPad and the Control Panel window and re size all of these windows.

    How can I fix?

    I can't think of all the programs I have installed recently.

    I am running Windows XP edition Home 32 x 86 SP3 with all current updates.
    I am running IE8 with all current updates.
    I am running McAffee internet Security with all current updates...
    I think that my skills with windows and computers are a little below average I think.

    I would appreciate a response and assistance :)

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Charles,

    Try to connect with different profile and see if the problem persists? Say to connect as an administrator and see if the problem is repeated here.

    If you are already connected as long as administrator, try to create a different profile-> click on Start-> settings-> Control Panel-> users and accounts. (http://www.ehow.com/how_2078860_create-new-user-account-windows.html)

    If everything works well, copy your problematic profile to this new profile data see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811151

    I hope this helps.

  • need outlook express to stay on the server, then e-mail will appear on Ipad

    My system is XP Microsoft w/Internet Explorer 7.  My online service is through netzero.  I started having problems several weeks ago about my Outlook Express.  In the last whe I send a file, he crossed for recipients and also would go directly to my sent folder.  Now adays, occasionally, the info is sent to recipients but does not go to my sent folder and the express pointed out a mistake and put my email in the Outbox.  I have to move it to project from the Outbox folder or the system keeps trying to return.  He goes to the recipients, but not in my sent folder.  What's wrong?

    I recently installed SP3 on my Windows XP machine and installed Internet Explorer 8. After that, Outlook stopped mail (still receives, if) and gave me this error message:

    The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'mail.qmcompany.com', server: 'mail.qmcompany.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 587, secure (SSL): no, Socket error: 10060, error number: 0x800CCC0E

    I tried everything but reinstall Outlook Express. Is there a compatibility issue with IE 8? Any help would be appreciated.
