Outlook Express / day & date

Hello,
I am using Outlook Express 5.0.6 with OS9.2.2. Is there anyone who can tell me how to make my e-mails show the day &
date when I print ? It used to do this, but we dont know why
it stopped doing it.
Currently, when I print an e-mail, all that shows is the -
To, From, Subject, & Message.
Thank you.

Hi, Steve -
I should be seeing either 01/30/2007 or Jan 30, 2007, but just
the name of the day (Tue) and the time our there.
Not so.
There is an option in the Date & Time control panel, Clock Options, to have the day of the week be displayed continuously along with the time in the main menubar, but not the date.
To see the date, just click once on the time display in the menubar - the date will then be displayed for about 5 seconds, then it will revert back to time only (with or without the day of the week in both displays, depending on the selection of items in Clock Options).
Open a folder which has been set to List view, or set one to that. Then look in the column headed Date Modified or Date Created (one of those is usually included by default in List views, but can be changed) - if the date format is full and correct, then there is nothing wrong with the Date and Time settings.

  • Outlook Express and Ovi Suite syncing problems

    Hi,
    I just installed the Ovi Suite for my new N5230 phone.
    I tested syncing contacts for the first time from Outlook Express to the phone and my account at Ovi.com via Ovi Suite. All went fine.
    However, I undertook a major edit of all my Outlook Express contacts data (thankfully backing it up afterwards on my PC) but when I went to use the sync fucntion in Ovi Suite again I was not given an option of (a) whether to merge or replace or (b) where to start sync from if not a merge. Consequently my phone and Ovi.com contacts lists filled up with duplicates through a botched merge. Where a contact was deleted in Outlook Express no Sync Conflict message appeared to ask me if I wanted to delete the same entry in Ovi.
    When I deleted all the contacts in Ovi Suite and tried to sync again my Outlook Express contacts list was deleted! Thankful for the backup before I started this waste of a Sunday afternoon.
    So basically, is it the case that if I want to use Ovi Suite and Ovi.com for contacts then I have to use Ovi.com as the master list and not my contacts list in Outlook Express on my PC? If the software simply merges data all the time how the heck am I meant to delete a contact from all three storage areas?
    Any advice appreciated.
    Bill

    Well for anyones information. Syncing with ovi suite.
    I have successfully got ovi suite working.
    For those with problems this is what I did. I have vista.
    1. I uninstalled all programs from nokia.( ovi suite using the online uninstaller. Pc suite using the installed uninstall program.
    then i ran pc suite cleaner.
    2. using search for nokia then using advanced search for all nokia folders remaining (important to use advanced search or you will miss some of the folders and files. Then deleted them. Some you may have to change the user permissions to delete them. It is important to delete these as they hold data and i think might be one of the conflicts stopping sync working.
    3. Delete any remaining files except bookmarks pics etc.
    now there should be nothing on the pc.
    Then download and run ccleaner. Cleaner and registry.
    Reboot pc
    Then download ovi suite.
    A wizard might pop up but if not start ovi suite and connect your phone. I turned bluetooth off and used usb.
    The phone will download settings. You can select pc suite on the sync settings in the phone. not ovi.com.
    the program is good and worth the trouble. It saves your messages and contacts as well as syncing contacts and calendar with your required program, also bookmarks can be saved with firefox and explorer in your phone folder in favourites. It creates the folder. To transfer bookmarks from pc to phone ensure they are in this folder.
    This took me a lot of reboots and time with a few calls to nokia and i am still waiting for their callback!!!
     It also works fine on my xp computer too.

  • How I copied all my Outlook Express data to my new Black MacBook

    Hi there!
    I just made the jump to the "Apple side" buying a shiny new Black Macbook, and having already got a lot of usefull information from this forum, I just wanted to give my little contribution...
    Here follows how I managed to copy ALL my Microsoft Outlook Express messages, settings and accounts from my "old" PC to my new MacBook:
    I just installed Mozilla Thunderbird on my PC and let the automated "import" function transfer all my data from Outlook Express; then I installed Thunderbird to the MacBook too (skipping all the setup procedures that start at the first run of the program).
    Then, on the "PC side", I located the folder where all the Thunderbird profile data is stored: it is something like "xxxxxxxx.default" (in my case "voakmfhs.default") and is stored in "C:\Documents and Settings\Windows_User\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles"
    So it was just a matter of copying all the "xxxxxxxx.default" folder from the PC to the Mac (on the "Mac side" just search for the "Thunderbird" folder and then open the "Profiles" subfolder where you have to copy all the stuff)
    The last step is to edit the Thunderbird "profiles.ini" file on the Mac, replacing the name of default folder that was assigned during the installation (which you can safely delete), with the name of the one copied from the PC...
    For any further question, feel free to ask
    Hope this is of some help!
    Ciao for now

  • Transferring Outlook Express Data from G-3 to G-4, Help Needed, please

    Hi, I would like some help: I think I transferred my HD from G-3 to G-4, but none of the data of my Outlook Express 5.02 on the G-3 made the firewire jump. How do I:
    a. find out if the data (inbox, sent msgs, folders, etc.) are on the G-4
    b. if they are not there, how do I get them to transfer. All the other folders on my hard drive, data, documents, etc., went across well (it took an hour to transfer the HD, which was about 7 Gb)
    Any help is appreciated, you may e-mail me personally at [email protected]

  • One way sync from Outlook Express gets Unable to read application data error

    I have a BB Flip, 8220, and am trying to use Outlook Express as my Contacts organizer.  I have started Outlook express "vanilla" and only have one records in Outlook Express.  I have 34 records in my BB Contacts.  When I run synchronize (and again, I am trying to do this one way, from Express to BB) I get the error "Unable to read application data", "Processing Device Address Book", "Record 34 of 34 Records".
    I have read many of the threads.  I have checked the RIM.log file and it says one way sync.  Any clues on how to fix this?  I am on Desktop 4.6, do I need to upgrade to 4.7?
    Please advise.
    Thank you.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Well I fixed the problem.  What I did was run a Backup using the desktop mgr software, I then ran a restore, but I used the Advanced option so that I could open the ipd backup file and then select just the contacts database and push that from my computer to the device (using the right arrow copy button in the middle of the Advanced window thingy).  I then reran the Sync and it WORKED!
    Doing the backup and restore must have fixed the corrupted record on my phone.  Wonderful.  I was nervous, but it worked jst fine.

  • Import Outlook Express from only data files

    I am working with a person who recently bought a new Mac. She has a complete backup image of her old hard drive saved on DVD but she has already gotten rid of the old Mac. On her old Mac, she used OS 9 and Outlook Express for E-mail. She had several hundred messages saved that she wants imported into Mail in OS X. However when I go to import the Outlook mailboxes, Mail says "Outlook and Classic will be started." Is it actually necessary that I install Classic support, install Outlook Express inside Classic, and drop in the data files, simply to import the mailboxes? The messages are obviosuly contained in one file named "Messages" in the previous /Documents/Microsoft Userdata/Identities/Main Identity folder - the "Messagse" file is somewhere along the lines of 200MB in size. Also, what will I do when Intel macs start to hit the streets that can't even boot Classic in the first place? Are there other OS-X only ways to import Outlook Express data files into Mail?

    Before going for any third party utility, I think you should try the free Outlook Express basic repair kit provided by Microsoft, which include:

  • Outlook Express 6 wants to re-download old E-mail

    Hello!.
    I use Verizon DSL.  I use Outlook Express 6 at home to download my incoming e-mail. 
    I do not delete the mail after it is downloaded. I keep a copy of my incoming e-mail in my Verizon Webmail Inbox so that I can access it on the Web if I need to see it when I am away from home.  Until a few days ago, my Outlook Express would download only the new email messages.  This is what I did for years. However, after I changed my Outgoing Port Number to 587, Outlook Express now wants to download all the mail that is in the Webmail Inbox, not just the new mail. 
    I cannot determine what is wrong, or if changing the outgoing port to 587 is the cause. Not sure if I accidentally changed my settings or not.
    My account settings are: 
    GENERAL tab
    name
    e-mail address
    SERVERS
    incoming mail is POP3
    incoming (POP3): incoming.verizon.net
    outgoing (smtp):  outgoing.verizon.net
    My server requires authentication - is checked - Advanced: Use same settings as incoming mail server is checked.
    CONNECTION
    the box stating "always connect to this account using___  is not checked.
    ADVANCED:
    Server Port Numbers: Outgoing (smtp) 587.  Incoming (pop3) 110
    Delivery:  Leave copy of messages on server is checked.   Remove from server after___ days - is not checked;  Remove from server when deleted from "Deleted Items"  - not checked.
    I have my work e-mail account configured the same way (except for the name, email address) BUT I don't have the same problem.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Microsoft recently sent out an update that incorrectly set the system date/time to 2008. Check to make sure your system date and time are correct, as this may be the cause of the issue. (Your client checks for new mail, and is seeing everything since 2008 as new.)

  • Outlook Express Address Book: Exporting to iMac

    What is the best, and easiest, way to get the information in my OE Address book into my just-purchased iMac. The old PC is still running and the iMac is yet to be plugged in. If there is doubt in anyone's mind, my talents lie elsewhere. Any guidance is appreciated and needed.

    To export contact information from OE on the PC to CSV format, try this:
    1. Launch Outlook Express on the PC.
    2. From the File menu, click Export, and then click Address Book.
    3. Click Text File (Comma Separated Values), and then click Export.
    4. Click Browse.
    5. Choose or create a folder in which to save the file.
    6. In the File Name box, type "addresses", and then click Save.
    7. Click Next.
    8. Click to select the check boxes for the fields that you want to export, and then click Finish.
    9. Click OK and then click Close.
    10. Transfer the file from the PC to the Mac.
    To Import the file into the Mac OS X Address Book:
    1. Launch Address Book on the Mac.
    2. From the File menu choose Import.
    3. Choose the format of the exported file from the submenu. In this case choose "Text file," which is appropriate for either a tab-delimited or CSV file.
    4. Select the file that contains the exported addresses.
    5. Use the pop-up menus in the Text File Import dialog that appears to specify how to import the data. The first line in the file contains labels, so check the "Ignore first card" checkbox.
    6. Use the left and right arrows to see different records in the file you're importing. This will let you determine how to set the popup menus. If you don't want to import a field, set the popup menu to "Do not import."
    7. To set the popup menus for address fields, choose the type of address (home, work, or other) in the pop-up menu next to the first item of the address. Then use the address popup menus that appear to choose the corresponding data for each address field.
    To transfer emails, you'll need to work with Entourage as a middleman, which you probably have as part of a 30 day trial of Office 2008 on the new iMac, but this is what you do:
    1. On your PC, run Outlook Express ("OE") and select all messages in your Inbox folder (Control-A), and drag and drop all of the selected messages to an empty folder named Inbox on your PC Desktop.
    Verify that the number of files inside that new folder you created matches the number of msgs in your OE Inbox (right-click on the Inbox icon in OE and select Properties to get that number). The exported files are ".eml" files which have the header and body of the message, in plain text format.
    Do the same for messages in your Sent mailbox.
    2. Transfer those new folders to your Mac, whether by Ethernet or CD-RW, USB drive or whatever way you choose.
    3. Launch Entourage; create a new subfolder folder of "On My Computer." In Mac OS, select all the .eml files which came from OE "Inbox" and drag and drop them into this new subfolder in Entourage (the cursor will show a + sign if Entourage allows you to do the drop. This may take awhile to complete, depending on how many messages you're transferring; Entourage, or Mac OS, may not respond for a few minutes. You'll have to do this for "Sent" and any other OE folders, but not now; you need to do these one folder set at a time.
    4. Create an Entourage Mail View that excludes all folders, including the one new subfolder you just creeated. For Criteria, set Match "if all criteria are met," "Folder Is Not Inbox," "Folder Is Not Outbox," etc.). What you're trying to do is identify the messages just imported and consolidate them in one view listing. Check the view for errors. Sort it by date and scroll through from the start to end to check if the topmost and bottommost messages have either empty dates or today's date and time in it. If there are such messages, these are errors and you can correct or delete them.
    When all the messages look good to you, or if you choose to just delete the ones with errors, make sure Entourage is finished populating the view, then select and drag and drop the Mail View folder (the view icon, not the messages) to your Desktop. This will create a ".mbox" file on your Desktop with the name of the view.
    You can now create separate mbox files for your OE "Sent" and other folders; however, you must delete the new subfolder you previously created in Entourage, empty the deleted items folder and start over with a new Entourage subfolder before doing each drop -- otherwise the view will pick up messages from previous drop(s).
    5. Import the Entourage .mbox file(s) using Apple Mail. In Apple Mail, select File -> Import Mailboxes, select Standard mbox files and point it to the folder with your .mbox file(s). Ensure each .mbox file is checked. After clicking ">>", Mail will start importing one message at a time.
    Be sure to check the number of messages imported into Apple Mail (shown when the mailbox is opened in Mail) -- the number should match the number of .eml files fed into Entourage. If it doesn't match, a common error is the Entourage Mail View wasn't populated completely when it was exported to mbox; start over with the import into Entourage and make sure the view is finished populating. Another error is the From/To error mentioned above; if you chose to just delete the bad messages, the numbers won't match exactly. Also, make sure the deleted items folder is emptied between each drop to avoid duplicate messages.

  • Importing Outlook express folders into mail on intel imac ?

    I was running outlook express on os 9.1 G3 and need to import the folders into mail on my fab new mac intel...
    Any advice/help much appreciated as always
    Many thanks
    Steve

    Steve,
    Your OE messages are in a folder called Identities within one called Microsoft User Data. A first step might be to copy the MUD folder or the Identities folder to a disk and transfer it to you new Mac's desktop.
    A few years ago, I transferred my mail from OE on a G3 running OS 9 to my flat panel iMac running OS X. At the time I made use of running OE in Classic on my new iMac. Your Intel Mac will not run Classic so the approach will be a little different.
    I've read of people being able to import the OE messages into Entourage on their new Mac and then getting them into Apple's Mail. If you have Office for Mac you can try this, or you can try it using the 30 day free trial of Office.
    Until you complete the transfer, keep everything intact on your old Mac. Do not delete OE. And whatever you do, do not delete the MUD folder or the Identities folder!
    Post back,
    Steve M.

  • Unable to send out emails via outlook express since 06/29/2010

    Task '[email protected]" - Sending' reported error (0x80042109) : 'Outlook is unable to connect to your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'        This is a copy/paste of error message from Office Outlook  2003
    Our household has been unable to "send" outgoing emails since 06/29/2010.  This includes a wireless laptop and a PC. We both lost the ability to send emails same day.  We changed NOTHING and did not share emails with each other that would have corrupted our system. During this time I have had 2 Verizon techs dance around in the PC doing all the same things I did as well as what  the automated assistant did.  The last tech said the Outlook Express 6.0 was corrupted, and to unistall it and then reinstall;  this time 2 hours later, I think he just gave up).  That did not work either.  I tried using the Outlook Office and still got an error message for outging. Everything is set up as it was when it was working until 06/29/2010.  I was told that there was a new server being installed and that things wold be working by 07/02/2010... I have tried taking down the firewall, turning off virus protection (McAfee), changing from outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net to just outgoing.verizon.net, checking boxes, unchecked boxes. SMPT is set to 587.  We get incoming fine.  I hate using the "Verizon email site" as too much monkey motion to get to mail, but that's what we have been doing.  I even tried setting up a GMail account, again got mail still could not send.  Any ideas?

    Thank you for your response!  I even tried sending an email via dos prompt  with Telnet, got past "HELO", but when trying to get a  "RCPT TO"  (using outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net)  I got an "authorization required" response and then was dropped.  I have been passed around without a solution. I am about ready to change ISP, but really hate to as most of the time (years now) this has been a decent ISP. If Verizon is having a problem just say so, I can handle it, honesty would be nice, refreshing and not wasting so much of my time as well as the techs!

  • Rescuing deleted emails from Outlook Express 5 for mac

    Dear Forum
    Wasn't quite sure where to post this, but I would be grateful if anyone could cast some light on the following puzzle. I am trying to retrieve deleted emails from Microsoft Outlook Express 5 Macintosh edition (vers 5.02 2022) running on a G4. Using Data Recovery 2, I have uncovered two databases that hold the information, but I am unable to open them in Outlook or other programs. Is it something to do with 'End of file' as a friend suggested? I have tried importing them as my default database to no avail. When they were opened as raw text, there are definitely email addresses and parts of emails embedded in there, but nothing I can use. I desperately need to access these mails so that I can take an ex-client, who still owes me money, to court.
    Any assistance would be most appreciated.
    Thanking you for your help.
    Kind regards

    Hi, chilliman2 -
    There is one other option. You can use BBEdit Lite to open the message and database files. This utility will display all the text in most any file, including many damaged ones that otherwise can not be opened. BBEdit Lite is free -
    BBEdit Lite
    Although the SFGet window, opened via the Open command in the File menu, will not display the OE files as openable files, they can be opened by dropping them onto the icon for BBEdit Lite (just confirmed that to make sure).
    The bad news - you would need to search through the file to find the section for any specific email message, then copy that portion to another file for printing. This can take a lot of work if the file is large.
    The good news - even the usually non-visible header info for each message is included in the Messages file, and is shown in BBEdit Lite.
    Whether this result will be suitable for your purposes is a different issue.

    Hi, tsam -
    Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
    That error is often returned when one or more of OE's databases gets too full.
    Try compacting the databases in OE. This function is a built-in one, and can be done before the program actually loads. To do that, with OE not running hold down the Option key while opening OE.
    • If you're opening OE directly, hold Option down while double-clicking OE's icon.
    • If you're opening OE via the Mail icon in IE's toolbar, hold down Option while clicking that icon.
    You'll receive a splash message asking if you want to compact the databases - click OK. Once that is done, you can get rid of the old database files (they'll have been renamed to indicate that they are the old ones).
    OE keeps those files in its account (identity) folder(s). If you're not familiar with where those are -
    • Current versions of OE keep them here - (hard drive ) >> Documents >> Microsoft User Data >> Identities >> Main Identity.
    • Older versions of OE kept those in the Identities folder inside the program's folder.
    "Main Identity" is the original default account (identity = account); if you've created additional accounts, there will be a separate folder for each in the Identities folder.
    It would also be advisable to increase the Preferred memory allocation for OE. Adding 20 or 30 thousand to the original amount is not excessive - more is better.
    Article #18278 - Assigning More Memory to an Application
    • Whenever you replace or update a program, you must redo any changes made to its memory allocation amounts - the changes are not carried over to a new or replacement version.
    Also, when you update OE or IE, particularly if you have both the old version and the new version on the drive at the same time, reset the default choices for those in the Internet control panel.
