Outlook Express and Netscape/Default e-mail account

I have recently replaced my Internet Explorer with Netscape 7.02. When I send an e-mail from a website on Netscape, it prompts me to set up a new account to send the e-mail. IE always launched Outlook Express when I sent an e-mail from a website. Outlook Express is designated as my default e-mail account in Control Panels. Netscape support has been of no help. Can I get Netscape to go to my Outlook Express to send e-mails from websites or must I use the e-mail application that comes with the Netscape?

Greg,
Trouble is that having changed mine to OE a longtime ago I'm not sure that what I see is what you see.
Having gone to about:config do you see network.protocol-handler.external.mailto if you scroll down? I do, but that may be because I have changed already.
If you do see it control-click on it and a drop down menu will come up in which you choose New > Boolean. Having chosen that enter network.protocol-handler.external.mailto when prompted then follow the instructions in the link I gave.
If you don't see it (and it sounds as though you don't) just control-click anywhere on the page and do the same.
Sorry I can't be more precise, it's ages since I did mine.

Outlook express and Bt internet e mail

I have had bt internet for many years, probably 12 years. I have always used outlook express to download and view my e mails. However, about 6 months ago I started having error messages which I will post below. The symptoms are these. If I have several e mails sitting on the server, it will download say 3 of them and not download the rest, an error message will come up. If I try send and receive again it will download the 3 same duplicate e mailes and then an error message will come up. I have one main account and 3 sub accounts, the same proble occurs on all three accounts. Other times the e mails will download to OE no problem
Message number 3 could not be retrieved. Account: 'mail.btinternet.com', Server: 'mail.btinternet.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR inactivity timeout', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800420CD
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'mail.btinternet.com', Server: 'mail.btinternet.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F
Does any one have a solution to this problem, it's seems that it's a common problem when I do a search on google.

When I talked to the BT lady who took control over my pc she did not seem to want to know anything about the fact it was a common fault. What has changed?????It only started happening about 6 months ago. I just can't use the e mail now unless I go onto Yahoo and look at it directly, it's a real pain. Any suggestions, is it only applicable to bt/yahoo, would it be any different if I change providers or am I going completely down the wrong track, would it work better with Outlook.

gw3xjc,
There is several variants of this problem.
The most common is due to a slowish internet connection and largish emails usually with attachments. The slower the connection the smaller the emails that cause the problem.
What happens is the server times out prematurely trying to download the largish email and as the transaction is not completed all previous emails in that transaction are not marked as having been downloaded so they are downloaded again when you next do a send/receive.
(If you have different symptoms please elaborate)
There are a few ways that you can possibly alleviate it and/or cure it.
1. A cure has been suggested in this thread in the last few posts:
http://community.bt.com/t5/Other-BB-Queries/Windows-Mail-Server-Terminating-Connection-when-download...
2. You can increase the server timeout value using the advanced section of the Account properties in OE.
Also stop OE from checking for emails automatically and send/receive manually.
3. You can set up a message rule in OE that checks the size of the email and if bigger than a value you specify Not download it from the server. This should allow all smaller emails to be downloaded. You of course need to log on via webmail and check the large emails that are left on the server periodically.
4. You can try other providers eg Yahoo.co.uk (non BT variant and not yahoo.com) Gmail etc that do not seem as prone to the problem.
5. Using Outlook does not help and probably makes the problem worse.

Migrating Outlook Express on a PC to Mail on a new Mac

I have a PC with Outlook Express and a large e-mail account (POP).
I want to maintain this e-mail address with my local ISP but I need to figure out a way to get this mailbox into the new Mac.
If I can only get the messages themsleves I guess that would be ok but if there was a way to maintain all the folders created, etc that would be ideal.
Any ideas?
Reading other posts somebody said something about utilizing an IMAP account to transfer everything but I'm not sure how to go about doing that.
Any help would be appreciated.

Since you have a new Mac, you can create a .Mac trial account for free which is good for 60 days I believe.
A .Mac type account with Apple's Mail application is really an IMAP account and behaves in the same way.
When creating a .Mac account with the Mail.app, the default account type provided is .Mac but you can also select IMAP or POP as the account type.
You can create a .Mac account as an IMAP or POP account with a different email client on a Mac or Windows PC.
After creating your .Mac trial account as a .Mac or IMAP account with Mail on your Mac, you can create the account as an IMAP account with Outlook Express on your Windows PC.
After doing so, copy messages from the POP account's Inbox mailbox to .Mac account's Inbox mailbox and the same for the POP account's Sent mailbox to your .Mac account's Sent mailbox.
Launch Mail on your Mac and these messages will be available in your .Mac account's Inbox mailbox and Sent mailbox.
Create two "On My Mac" location mailboxes in Mail - one for transferred Inbox messages and one for the transferred Sent messages.
Transfer these messages from your .Mac account's Inbox mailbox and Sent mailbox to the appropriate user created "On My Mac" mailboxes which are stored locally on the hard drive. This process will save the transferred messages locally on the hard drive and remove the messages from the server at the same time.
A .Mac trail account has limited server storage space so if the Inbox mailbox and Sent mailbox for this POP account in OE on your PC exceeds the server storage limit for a .Mac trail account, you must do this in stages and although this may sound involved, it really isn't and overall is probably the easiest and fastest way to do so.

On your iPhone you need to change your password in 2 places:
- Incoming Mail Server and
- Outgoing Mail Server
To get to the password entry for the Outgoing Mail Server you have to tap on cell smtp.live.com and again on the second view.

When opening my Outlook 2010 with new added e-mail account with Exchange Server, I have to click manually on my standard e-mail account for checking mail

When opening my Outlook 2010 with new added e-mail account with Exchange Server supplied by my employer, I have to click manually on my standard e-mail account for checking mail. Do I have to upgrade my Microsoft Office 2010 or how can I make my Outlook
2010 check all my four e-mail accounts without manually click on my accounts?
Sincerely
Ketil Hothorp

Hello Ketil,
Good Day...
Seems to be the Issue is Syncing emails, now I would recommend you to Remove and Add the Account and try and check if the emails are getting synced automatically.
Hope this is with Single User. If it is with Multiple Users then we need to check the permissions assigned.

Outlook Express and XML

Hi All,
I'm writing a java program that has to open Outlook Express, download the mail and then move the the emails from the inbox folder to an index folder. Then it has to call a mouse recorder.exe to extract the emails into another folder(which is already working). I know how to open outlook express and my mouse recorder.exe, but now I would like to use xml to download the mail a.w.a move the emails. I thought of using the com objects, but I'm very green with that still. Does anyone have any ideas? Is there a better way of doing this? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

... All the other
microsoft office components have that feature, but
nothing for Outlook Express, can anyone tell me why?Outlook Express is the system Microsoft produces for personal use. If you're only one person, you don't need a server or any complicated features, you just need a basic e-mail system. That's Outlook Express.
I suggested to my boss that they should just change over
to Microsoft Outlook, but he doesn't want to cause
then they would have to change over 10000 pc's to be
able to read files other than .msg. There must be a
genius out there that can help me..... PLEASE!!! :)I don't know if your language is English, but there's an English saying "You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear". At some point you have to decide that the product you are using is inadequate and you need to upgrade to a more powerful product with more features. Outlook Express isn't programmable, your research says. So it sounds like your project isn't feasible.

OUTLOOK EXPRESS AND ORACLE FORMS

WITH THIS CODE,
win_api_shell.winexec('C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE\OUTLOOK.EXE')
I CAN OPEN OUTLOOK EXPRESS FROM AN ORACLE FORM.
I WANT TO KNOW HOW I CAN MODIFY THIS CODE SO THE PROGRAM GOES INTO OUTLOOK EXPRESS AND OPENS A BLANK NEW MAIL MESSAGE FROM AN ORACLE FORM. ALSO IF THE ABOVE PROBLEM CAN BE TAKEN CARE OF CAN THE 'TO' LINE BE PREPOULATED WITH AN EMAIL ADDRESS FROM AN ORACLE FORM. I KNOW THAT THIS CAN BE DONE WHEN SOMEBODY HAS BEEN LOGGED INTO THE INTERNET. HOW CAN SOMEBODY DO THIS IF THEY ARE NOT LOGGED INTO THE INTERNET?

This would be nice to know

Default Outgoing Mail Account

I can't figure out how to control the default outgoing mail account. I have 3 accounts, and the mail program doesn't always select the first mailbox listed, which Help tells me it should do.
How do I control this?

There is no default email account selection in Jaguar or Panther Mail when selecting New to compose a new message. This was added with Tiger Mail.
When you compose a new message, the From address is selected in the following order:
If a message is currently selected, Mail uses the account the message belongs to, if it can be determined from the headers of the message, or by the account mailbox the message resides in.
If an account mailbox is currently selected (an account's Inbox or Sent mailbox in the mailboxes drawer), Mail uses the account the mailbox belongs to.
If no message or account mailbox is selected, Mail uses the email address for the first account listed in the Accounts pane of Mail Preferences.
When you reply to a message, the From address is selected in the following order:
The To and Cc fields are compared to email addresses you have set up in Mail Preferences. Mail uses the first address it finds as the reply address.
If the message is in an account mailbox, Mail uses the email address for the account the mailbox belongs to.
If all else fails, Mail uses the email address for the first account listed in the Accounts pane of Mail Preferences.

What are shortest file names for outlook express and PSE11 to import photos pls

what are shortest file names for outlook express and PSE11 to import photos pls

Hi, Troubled. The size of the file name is pretty much irrelevant here to PSE, but to answer your question directly, you will be able to import a file that has only a single character as its file name (plus the file name needs to have the required extension, such as .jpg)

Upgraded OSX to 10.6.4 and my .mac/me mail account has disappeared

Upgraded this morning, and my.mac/me mail account has disappeared.
When I "Add Account", I get this message..
"The account “MobileMe” already has this host name and user name."
ANy ideas?

I'd ask in the MobileMe forums first:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=228
then the Snow Lewopard forums:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=263
As this sounds less like a machine-specific issue than a general OS or MobileMe issue, I would think you are more likely to find a solution in either of those two areas.

I just recently synchronized my contacts using outlook express, and I want to be able to view the phone contacts on the computer, how could I do that? I can't restore the phone then back it up on my computer because I'm on using windows XP and I cannot update my iTunes and thus I can't synchronize my phone back so I lost all my important work contacts and I'm just wondering if I can somehow access it on the computer

You would open Outlook Express on your PC...

Default e-mail account and Outlook

I sync up w/ Outlook. I have added three e-mail accounts to my Storm and they work fine. When I go to Calendar => Options I see the three accounts and one called "default". When I go to Options => Advanced Options => Default Services the "Default" account is not an option. How can I add the "Default" account to the list so that I can make it my default service?

Hi Hergie9550 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
Are there currently any entries in your default Calendar on your BlackBerry? Do the email selections appear under the Default Services section in your Options screen?
Thanks.

Webmail works Outlook Express and Mail.app do not

I am able to use webmail to send and receive but I can only receive email but not send (SMTP) with either Mail or Outlook Express. I have checked CRAM-MD5 Login and Plain for SMTP authentication. It appears in the logs that the clients do authenticate yet the clients time out.
I think I have seen this before of 10.3 Server during initial setup, I have since updated to 10.4 (clean install).
Any Suggestions?
Dan

The "Accept SMTP relays only from these hosts and networks:" is unchecked. In the list is 127.0.0.1/32.
This server is on the internet and NOT on my inside network. I am assuming (big mistake) that I should leave this setting uncheck which means any host can relay SMTP as long as I require authentication the server will not act as an open relay......I am thinking I wrong here so please correct me.....
Dan
