Can't send link using Outlook Express

I've set up that Firefox mailto accesses Outlook Express. However, when I try to send a page as a link, Outlook Express opens, but the link doesn't appear and I just go to my inbox.

Hi everyone,
i am having the same issue here in Australia. I cannot send emails using Outlook 'unknown error has occured in outlook'. Have contacted my service provider and they offered the great below advice.
Email Address: <TPG Username>@tpg.com.au
Incoming Mail Server: mail.tpg.com.au (Port 110)
Outgoing Mail Server: mail.tpg.com.au (Port 25 or 587)
Username/Account Name: <TPG Username>
Password: <your TPG password>
Enable the option for "My server requires authentication" and click "logon using"
Username/Account Name: <TPG Username>
Password: <your TPG password>
*Log on using Secure Password Authentication should not be ticked
any advice is greatly appreciated.

Receive but can't send emails using Outlook Expres...

Is anyone else experiencing this again ?
OE leaves my mail in the Outbox and BT Mail will not accept them on a send/receive. Also still experiencing password rejection problems everytime I send/receive. If I cancel instead of trying again. It receives my mail but will not send it.
Any ideas please ?
Thanks..............

I suspect you will all ready have done this because you were previously sending emails but it might be worth doing it again in case there has been a glitch in the system.
Verify the non BT email address. See this link.

I think you also need to ensure that you have ticked the box “My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication" - and you need to use "Log on using" and enter the BTinternet email address/password you've used to verify the Non BT email address.

How do I send link using Thunderbird- always defaults to outlook express

Both my wife and I use this PC my email is via Thunderbird, she uses outlook express. When I try to forward a link in firefox, it always opens outlook express- I want it to come from my account at thunderbird. how do I fix this?

Try making sure that Thunderbird is set as the program to handle email. You can do that in the [[Options window - Applications panel]]. You might also check this Thunderbird documentation - http://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/make-thunderbird-default-mail-client

Can't send E-mails using Outlook Express on WRT300N

Hello, I searched through the forums to find problems similar to mine, but everyone had a different router than mine, plus none of the solutions worked for me.
I just purchaced and installed my router yesterday. Since the install, I have not been able to send e-mails using Outlook Express, but I do recieve e-mails. I am using the WRT300N Wireless-N Router.
Trying to get my local news service up and running, and right now, e-mail communication is vital........
Thanks.

Well of course, but the error message says socket error, which doesn't tell how to fix it. Even the Outlook Express help site doesn't give any suggestions to fix anything, other than "Your internet connection has failed," which is not the problem.
To the disable firewalls suggestion: I did try disabling my firewalls and all of my virus/ e-mail scan software just to check it out. The thing is, I don't see how my Windows XP Firewall, or anything I've been using could be a problem. Right now, because of the error all my sent e-mails are stuck in the outbox, when I disconnect my router and connect everything back up leaving the router out of the picture, the e-mails are sent out as normal. This problem only occurs with the router connected.
I also need to stream live audio, and I've heard it's a pain using a wireless router...
Thanks for the suggestions, hopefully someone will provide the winning suggestion so I don't have to call customer service!

After I switched carriers I can't use outlook express e mail.

after I switched net carriers I can't use outlook express for sending e mail anymore.

I'm not sure what you mean. Are mail links not opening Outlook Express? If so, see [[Changing the e-mail program used by Firefox]]

Using Outlook express mail and system 10.9, sending attachments

I have a new Mac, operating system 10.9. Trying to use Outlook Express Mail from work, I am unable to send attachments. Thanks

One thing in there jumps out - the long time taken to connect to the internet after NetProtect was installed. McAfee is a notorious resource hog and that behaviour is typical of the symptoms which persuaded me and others to look for another AV. Microsoft Security Essentials has a light touch and many would recommend it, though there are several other effective, free AVs available. If you do uninstall NetProtect you should make sure to run the McAfee Removal Tool also.
I would advise you to get NetProtect out of the way and return with an update for advice on the email issues.

How can I send email using two different email address that both link back to my one exchange account on my Ipad mini

How can I send email using two different email address that both link back to my one exchange account on my Ipad mini?
On my PC I simply have a master return email address and use a POP for the secondary address. Both are through the one exchange account without a problem. I need to be able to do the same on my Ipad.

Ah, I should have made that clear. My domain didn't come from google. It was purchased at and is hosted at dreamhost, but I haven't used their email servers in years - I just route everything through gmail. I actually have a bunch of domains (with websites).
Gmail has an option that lets someone with custom domains send (and receive) email through gmail using the custom domain once Google confirms proper ownership of the domain (to prevent spammers and such). Gmail has a setting for "send email as" which allows gmail to be sent using a custom domain as the sender. I'm pretty sure Apple's old mobileme had this feature too, but I didn't use it.

How can I get the Ask Me widget in Captivate 5 to use Outlook Express?

I want to use the Ask Me widget, but I have a customer that doesn't have Microsoft Outlook for their employees. They use Outlook Express as their email client. I have asked them to open Outlook Express when they are in the CBT and click the Ask Me button, but it gives them an error message that says "could not perform the operation because the default mail client is not properly installed."
Is there any way to have it recgonize Outlook Express as their default mail client?

Hi there
I'd be checking to see how a basic MailTo: function works on the affected PC. Just visit a web page that has a clickable link that opens email. Click the link and observe the behavior. You may find yourself surprised.
Cheers... Rick

I can, I can't get my address book to snyc with my ipad2. I'm using Outlook express 2004. I followe the steps in itunes, but still no contacts. Any suggestions?

Can't get my address book to sync to IPAD2. Using Outlook Express 2004. I followed the steps in Itunes, but still not contacts. Any suggestions?

Mine is doing the exact same thing, and nobody on any of these threads has had any luck fixing it yet, so far as I can tell. iSync is worthless since it simply won't see the ipod and basically is not used at all now as .mac is done through its own preference window. What did work for me, and was quite easily done, was to just open your ipod through the finder and delete the vcard data in the contacts folder. Export your contacts from address book as a vcard to that contacts folder on your ipod, and it all works fine.
Still won't sync...but at least this only takes a minute to do. I'd like to actually fix it though.

About accessing using a browser: I can get in using Firefox or Safari, butI cant set the page up to see all my inboxes at the same time (so I can file emails appropriately) or get a preview to save opening every mail

Can't send email using Windows Mail (Vista) through Anonymizer proxy server

I have recently installed a new version of Anonymizer which I need for access to a particular forum, but when it is connected I cannot send email. The message I got from Anonymizer support is as follows:
Anonymizer Universal blocks unencrypted mail port 25 to prevent abuse of our service by spammers. If you have an email address set up to use port 25, please contact your mail administrator to use an alternate port. We have found email providers prefer certain ports including 587 and 465. These ports generally require authentication and you may need to change your outgoing mail server to require authentication.
I tried these port numbers but they also gave errors. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Solved!

I found the thread on port 587 and I followed the advice on the link for Outlook Express.
http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/HighSpeed/Email/Setup+And+Use/QuestionsOne/124306.htm
Windows Mail is slightly different but when I set the outgoing port to 587 without requiring authentication, and it seems to be working OK now. So I'll mark this as solved. This seems to be a major issue since November and it should be in the FAQs and easy to find with a search.

Can't send email from Outlook with parentheses in address

I can't send email from Outlook 2007 through my WRT400N when Outlook displays the address with parentheses as in this example: Firstname Lastname ([email protected])
I can send if the address is in this form: Firstname Lastname <[email protected]>
I have tested with the ISP and nothing gets through the router when the problem occurs. When I bypass the router, both forms of address will send correctly. This problem is perfectly reproducible. My router is brand new, but the problem did not show up for about a week after installation. OS is Win7. Any ideas? Thanks.

Try to forward the port 443 to 447 on the router.Check this link.
