• Windows Update - Outlook Express will not download new email after the last update

  After you have installed the latest update of Windows XP files (KB972270; KB977840; KB955759; KB890830) and my OUtlook Express will not download my new messages. Error message occurs sating that a file is possibly corrupted and use Scandisk to repair. This has happened on my computer and my wife using the same basic configuration. Could not resolve the problem before doing a system restore to a previous Restore Point before the update of Windows. So my Windows Updater is no longer needed.

• How to get Outlook Express to stop and you will invite to compact your emails when closing.

  My wife and I use Outlook Express on our machines at home for e-mail (OE is his primary e-mail program, I use it for a secondary e-mail address).

  When we are done with the program and you want to close, we are always invited to compact mail folders.  I prefer not to do it while I had problems with files compacted in the past.

  Is it possible to change a setting in Outlook Express to stop inciting us to compact the folders of our mail?  I looked through the tools and other areas in Outlook and still found nothing.   Help, please.  Thank you!

  Drew

  You can't turn it off, and failure to compact surely will scan your message store sooner or later.

  Compacting your folders periodically is a must to keep OE works fine and at some point, you may lose all your saved messages if you do not. When you delete or move messages, the space they used remains until you compact.

  Never touch anything until the compression is finished.* *.

  See:
  www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

  With SP2, Automatic compaction in the background has been removed because of problems he has caused. Now, you will get a prompt to compact after 100 closures of OE, you need to do, and do not touch anything until it's finished. If you compact manually, at your convenience, this will also set the counter to zero. See this for more information:
  http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm#compact

  If you are fully patched, you will now see a copy of your dbx files copied to the Recycle Bin as BAK files. If something goes wrong when compacting, the messages can be easily restored from this backup. A compact manual resets also the counter in the back of the registry to zero now.

  For more information, see the information framed in red here:
  www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

  To keep things running smooth and harden faster:

  Do not archive mail in default OE folders. It will eventually become corrupt and you may lose mail. 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.

  And backup often.

• IE9 mounted; Everythings seems to work okay, but outlook express will not download pictures on my emails. is there a link?

  get out has been requilring you click a button to download the images coming in when opening an email.  This button is not displayed and the images are not displayed in newsletters, etc.

  so, dave and Divic, I just remembered!  I thought about all the boxes with the little red exes in them... I have the solution!  why it happened, I don't know, but fixed it!  [I am senile that part of the time - I'm just aging, being widely exceeded my 03:20 and 10] I have had this my ' puter tips produce for years and have not had to use it.

  One of the main areas where people can see the red X's in their email. If you use Outlook Express and have problems to see pictures in your email, open it and go to Tools, Options and choose the Security tab make sure the box "block images and other external content in HTML e-mail" is unchecked. Now, if you send an e-mail message and people are complained to you in the pictures does not show up, try this: open OE and go to Tools, Options, tab to send . Under the Mail Sending Format section, make sure that HTML is selected, and then click the HTML settings button. From there on, check the box "send pictures with messages" is checked. That should solve all your problems of mail.

• Outlook Express does not download Email from ISP

  Why my Outlook Express fails see that I have pending messages in my Inbox that my ISP has received.  It takes sometimes to Express hours to notice that these messages are waiting.

  Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox of the user created local folders and then compact your folders as follows.

  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:

  My box often takes a long time to receive e-mails, Registrant receiving 1 of 5.  So when they finally come thrus, I could have 3 exact same emails from the same sender and other 2 separate emails from different senders.  Often, I get a message that says: there is a mistake and I want to wait until I click on Yes, and possibly e-mail messages are received.

• Outlook Express main identity and Comcast email server

  I use Outlook Express (Internet Explorer 8) in Windows XP Pro.  A year and half ago my main identity ceased to be able to access the new emails through my Comcast email server account, but my other two (not main) identities Comcast can download all of their new emails.  I just get a message "unknown error", said that the main identity account cannot access the server.  PS. I can send emails, but I can't receive them.  I tried to look at all the POP and SMTP elements and they do not seem to be wrong Comcast took me through several steps but said the probel in my OExpress program and they were no help at all after that.  Any ideas?  Thank you.

  Tip: Create an identity third to replace the main identity. Import messages and address book and if it works well, remove the main identity.

  Make sure that the SMTP port is set to 587 and my server requires authentication is enabled. (Many Comcast Tech don't even know it).

  N ' not use Inbox or sent items to archive messages.  Move them to local folders created for this purpose.

  -Empty the deleted items folder daily.

  -Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE while records that "work offline".  More onhttp://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

  It has been installed without it and when I stopped him I still have the error. I don't have a router. Don't you think that interferes with outlook?

  You're modem and router would be next on my list. Try to reset them both. If they have no reset buttons, simply unplug for about 15 seconds and reconnect. Do the router first, then the modem.

  If this doesn't help, can bypass you the router at least for testing purposes?
