Cannot read my E-mails in Outlook Express anymore as they now appear as Firefox webpage attachments, how do I rectify this?

I use outlook express to download my E mails from gmail and used to be able to read the content of the email in Outlook Express. The content of my emails has now disappeared and been replaced by two attachments, one Firefox HTML which has the content of the email and a text file which also has the a content. How can I return to the original format of Outlook express?
Many thanks
Stuart

Does this only affect new mail you download, or does it affect older messages as well?
If it only affects new messages, is it possible that you've made a change that indirectly affects emails, such as new security software (spam filters or virus filters that intercept and check mail as it's received)?
If it affects older messages as well, there might be a problem with Outlook Express (how it is decoding HTML messages). In that case, if you haven't tried restarting Windows, you might try that first.

    My printer receives and prints my e mail but not the attachments. How do I rectify this?

    Hi robgpearce,
    Your issue could be related to the file type or a setting with the file. In the help section of ePrintCenter.com, it goes into details on how the HP ePrint service does not support printing webpages via email at this time, HP is currently developing dedicated solutions to support webpage printing from mobile devices. Image files (like jpeg, bmp, tiff, etc) need to be at least 100DPI in order to print via ePrint. PGP encryption, digitally signed documents, macro-enabled spreadsheets and password-protected documents are not supported by ePrint at this time and will not print.
    If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!
    Although I work for HP, my posts and replies are my own opinion and not those of HP.

  • How can I read my incoming emails in one folder?Like I do in Live mail and Outlook express.

    Now we can only read emails in different folders if I am managing multiple email accounts.
    It does not feel so comfortable as we use Live mail and Outlook express.

    '''Unified Inbox for pop and Imap mail accounts:'''
    If you use the Unified folder view, this will show an Inbox with all emails from all accounts, with sub folder Inboxes for the individual Inboxes for the various accounts. Then you can choose to view the collective Inbox or the individual Inbox.
    This method can be chosen simply and quickly.
    * View > folders > Unified
    '''Setting up Pop mail accounts to use Global Inbox.'''
    Pop mail accounts can be set up to use a Global Inbox in Local Folders.
    Imap mail accounts cannot be set up to use Global Inbox, but can use the Unified view.
    To change Pop mail accounts to use Global Inbox, you would need to move all emails into Local Folders Inbox.
    Then change the settings for each pop mail account.
    Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the pop mail account
    click on 'Advanced' button
    select 'Inbox for a different account' and 'Global Inbox (Local Folders)
    click on OK
    You need to do this for each Pop mail account.
    Then close Thunderbird. You must do this before downloading anything otherwise the emails may continue to go to the wrong Inbox.
    Wait a few moments for Thunderbird to fully close and then restart Thunderbird.
    Please read more info on global inbox here:

  • Can I read mails in OutLook Express in Java ?

    Hi Guys,
    Just curious if I can access mails in Outlook Express in Java.
    Thank you for your consideration.

    If memory serves (OE is heavily outdated, haven't used it in years) OE stored its messages as flat text files in a directory on the user's harddisk.
    Reading those files should be child's play.I checked my system and there are only .dbx files created for each mail folder (my filters).I am using Outlook Express 6.0.

  • 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!

  • Transfer mail from Outlook express 6 on Windows XP to Mail on iMac

    I want to transfer mail from Outlook express 6 running under Windows XP to Mail on a Macbook Pro running Tiger.
    I have a network set up and can access the outlook identities, but neither Entourage nor Mail will recognise the entities when I try to use the import function. I suppose they are looking for outlook express 5 which runs on Mac OS 9.
    Is there a way to do this. I would think that if Apple is keen for people to move over to Mac, this would be an area which will be a concern to a lot of people.
    Thanks

  • I have several users in an exchange environment who cannot email a photo from the iPhone.  When the click on Email Photo, they are prompted to configure a mail account even though there is already an exchange account in place.  How do I remediate this?

    I have several users in an exchange environment who cannot email a photo from the iPhone.  When the click on Email Photo, they are prompted to configure a mail account even though there is already an exchange account in place.  How do I remediate this?  Not all of the users in our environment have this issue.  If the users having this issue, install a secondary email account, Gmail, Hotmail, etc, then they can send through those accounts.  Why would the exchange account not be seen to send photos?

    Sounds like it worked until the policies associated with the account that are creating the problem were fully pushed down.
    Try setting up a new (test) Exhange account and see if it behaves the same way on the phone (after removing the problem account from the phone, of course).

  • Hello apple guys, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?

    hello apple guys, after installing OS X Mavericks, i can't open app store, reminders, contacts, mail(crash), maps, Image Capture, and other apps that comes with Mavericks OS, how i can solve this problem?

    So is this the way Apple works now? Not solving customers problems? I'm sure so many users have had this problem. I've had, and I reinstalled Mavericks 3 times. Works fine for some days and then several Apple Apps stop working. Is that a way to force us ti update to Yosemite? (I don't want to) and then pay to update some third party programs (i.e. Pro Tools). Also, there are so many 15" MacBooks Pro with graphic problems and of course the guys at the Apple Service Centers always say: "It's the logic board, you can have it replaced, but it's so expensive I would recommend a new Mac".  I really, really miss Steve Jobs!

  • When I send a message using hotmail.co.uk, it does not appear in my Mac Mail sent box. How do I rectify this?

    I am using Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.2) on my MacBook (mid-2009); Mail version 6.1 (1498).
    My incoming mail server is pop3.live.com (Hotmail).
    When I send an email on the Hotmail website, it does not register in my Mac Mail sent box.
    How do I rectify this?
    Many thanks for your help in advance.

    You have to send it from the Mail program on the Mac not the website. When you send it from the website it is in the sent folder on the website.
    I handle all my mail in the Mac Mail program never the website.

  • I cannot view pdf files on Safari, instead they download and open in viewer. How do I change this?

    Does anyone have a solution for this???
    "I cannot view pdf files on Safari, instead they download and open in viewer. How do I change this?"

    Back up all data. Please read this whole message before doing anything, so you'll know what to expect.
    Open Safari's preferences dialog and make notes of everything you would need to recreate the basic settings, such as your home page. That includes the settings of Safari extensions, if any are installed.
    Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste (command-V) into the box that opens and press return. A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open.
    Launch Safari. Its settings will have reverted to what they were they first time you launched it. Your bookmarks, history, and AutoFill data will be preserved.
    Test. If Safari now works as expected, recreate its settings and delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put the file you moved back where it was, overwriting the newer one created in its place. Post your results.

  • Since upgrading to OS X version 10.9, I have been receiving more Spam Mail which looks as if I've sent a Messages to Myself. How can I prevent this embarrassing mail reaching me?

    Since upgrading to OS X version 10.9 (Mavericks). I have been receiving more Spam Mail which looks as if I've sent a Messages to Myself. How can I prevent this embarrassing mail reaching me?

    in Safari, certain
    characters like hyphens and apostrophes appear as
    black diamonds with question marks.
    This has nothing to do with fonts. It usually happens when your encoding is set wrong for a specific page. Panther Safari did not show these diamonds, but just displayed nothing, so people get the impression something has changed, but it really hasn't.
    In Safari, I'm using Unicode (UTF-8) as my default
    encoding. Is this setting correct?
    Not if you keep running into pages with black diamonds. It would be better to set your default to Western ISO Latin 1. The black diamonds will probably go away.

  • When I receive mail my OSX opens up the attachments, they can be either PDF or Jpeg how do I tern this feature off and just have them show as icons

    When I receive mail my OSX opens up the attachments, they can be either PDF or JPEG how do I turn this feature off and just have them show as icons
    Thanks

    There is a plugin available for Mail called Attachment Tamer, which allows much greater control over the way Mail handles attachments, among other things. Icon view is one of them.

    I believe you can run it in demo mode before purchasing to see if it does what you want.

  • Lion Mail is sending me my mail over and over.  2000 to 8000 messages at a time.  How do I stop this.

    Lion Mail is sending me my mail over and over.  2000 to 8000 messages at a time.  How do I stop this.

    This is a little screen shot of it.
    I am new to mail.  And I have it set up with Gmail and IMAP.  And every so often it keeps sending me back my deleted messages.  At first it was 2000 message lots.  And as the screen shot in the link shows.  One time it wanted to send me 8000 messages.  I just want my deleted messages to stay deleted.  From Mail, from Gmail, from everything.  But they don't seem to want to stay deleted.  I don't know if I have det up anything wrong.  But it's pretty frustrating.
    If anyone can help me I'll be really appreciative.

    They are being sent to the All Mail folder.  The inbox is pretty much unaffected.
    I don't want to hide the All Mail folder and forget about it.  I am after the messages gone forever.  Especially from the All Mail folder.
    I'm the kind of person who uses email like sms.  I use it to contact people annd delete 95% of the messages after reading.  I don't want them archived.  I don't want them stored in the All Mail folder.  I want them totally gone.
    And yes it seems Mail is downloading all my messages over and over.  So my question is how to stop the messages being stored/archived and to instead be totally deleted.
    In the gmail settings I found:
    Auto-Expunge off - Wait for the client to update the server.
    When a message is marked as deleted and expunged from the last visible IMAP folder:  Immediately delete the message forever.  Instead of archiving it like I had set before.  I'm not 100% sure if that'll fix the issue I am having.  I'm sure you'll be able to tell me if I am on the right track.
    And thanks for the quick reply.
