Outlook Express dropping recipient address with mailto:

Sites with mailto: links are not passing through the recipient address to Outlook Express with Firefox 5. This problem has persisted for at least 4 months now and a fix was promised months ago. I am running 5.0.1 on a PC with Windows XP. Outlook Express does execute, but the new message window does not open and of course nothing is filled in.

''mailto: links not being passed to Outlook Express''
Could you post the webpage, and the reference to the problem and where a solution in the works. Is it a problem only with XP because I've never run into such a problem. If people had to adjust their settings for it to work then use of mailto would not be practical to use at all.
The only problem I've had was with the use of Redirect remover but that was a long time ago, the problem could be bypassed and it was fixed by the extension author. Does the problem happen in Safe Mode if it doesn't then that would mean that an extension is probably the cause.
'''Safe Mode''': bring up in safe mode one time, when you do so do not check-mark any of the items (they are certainly not safe). Help ("Alt+H") > "Restart with Add-ons disabled". If there is not problem then it is almost certainly an extension.

To: Field in Outlook Express duplicating email address set up in Iweb.

Hi
I've setup a button on my website so people can email me.
I used the inspector to add the hyperlink - email message
in the to field i put entered infoatexample.com once
Now when i use my dads computer which has outlook express to send an email from my site the outlook window pops up with my website email address appearing twice in the message mail to: field e.g infoatexample.com infoatexample.com...I am receiving the emails but worried this may confuse people is there a way to change it so it appears only once.
Thanks
Aaron

Hi,
As per the description, I understand that you'll have duplicate email addresses in the To... field when create calendar invites.
In order to understand the issue more deeply, I would like to clarify the following questions:
How did he/she "add people" in the To... field? Did he/she directly type email address or pick it from your address book?
Will the duplicate happen right after adding people in the To... field or after sending the invites?
Seems you've tried a lot on the machine side, I suggest we first try this on OWA (Outlook Web App) and see if issue persists. This will help to determine whether the issue is on the client side or the mailbox (server) side.

Moving address book from PC outlook express to Mac address book

What software or other magic do I need to get the address book with the group lists out of Outlook Express PC and into Mac's Address Book?
Tried Thunderbird -- that didn't separate the groups of lists nor did it bring over all the information.
Mac is an OS X 10.5.8

Verizon Fios - Airport Extreme AND Airport Express drop IP Address

Hi everyone,
I am absolutely BEGGING for help here! I am so frustrated with Verizon Fios that I can hardly take it. The scenario - the crummy Actiontec router that Verizon provided us when we got service 10 months ago shot craps recently. So, I got out my Airport Extreme to see if that would work. After 30 minutes of tech support I got it working, only to have all kinds of trouble with what they told me after FURTHER hours of tech support, was that my router was dropping the IP address.
So, knowing that I can't possibly be the only Verizon customer using an Apple router, I thought it was the Airport Extreme unit itself. I went out and got an Airport Express, and again, I am resetting my router or calling Verizon tech support at least once a day, if not more, to break the lease and get a new IP address. It's killing me. I can't live life like this.
Can ANYONE help me figure out how to get this scenario to work without having to purchase another crappy, ugly Actiontec router? I don't have FIOS TV, just internet. I can't tell you how much I would appreciate the help. It's driving me insane!!
Thanks so much in advance.

It appears that I am in same boat. I got FIOS last October and it worked seamlessly with my Airport Extreme/Express network for months. All of a sudden, we couldn't get to the internet after returning from vacation in late August. Reset, reconfigured, and tinkered with the Airport extreme and our computers, but could not get out to internet even though we could still print and see each other over the airport network. Contacted Verizon and they told me that they do not support the airport and that we have to use their Actiontec router for Internet access. Told them that we had been using our Airport, connected to their Actiontec, to access the Internet for months seamlessly and they said that that was not something they would recommend/support and that we had to go directly through their wireless router to get Internet support. I asked if they changed something in the last week that would prevent access and they would not confirm.
We also found that my son's older desktop with 802.11b wireless USB connection and MS OS can't even get out using the Actiontec router directly. Verizon site talks to 802.11b not necessarily being supported, but we had no issues when we were routing everything through the Airport. I just don't want to invest in all kinds of new network devices when we were fine until something happened over a weekend.
I am playing around with buying the latest Airport extreme (ours is a 802.11g model) to see if that works, but Verizon refuses to acknowledge that it's a viable solution and apologized to us that we have to switch between their network router and our Airport router to do routine printing, play music, etc., but they were not open to helping us prevent running multiple networks, either.
Obviously, this is unacceptable customer service, but Verizon techs that I spoke to do not feel that they have any obligation to support us with re-establishment of connectivity that we got with our original service. It sounds from this thread that other folks were getting disconnected or can't establish connectivity over the summer. Am wondering what Verizon is doing that is causing this and who else is getting impacted. Also wondering if upgrading to the latest Airport will help.

With Mozilla Firefox, I cannot go to "File" and then "Send Link" so as to pull up an email ready to send via Outlook Express, as I can with Internet Explorer - how do I change the settings to permit this?

If I am using Explorer, I can go to "File" and then "Send Link" -
an email will automaticallt pop up, with the website url pasted in;
I merely put in the recipents email address, hit Send, and away it goes
With Firefox, the email does not pop up; I have to manually pull up an email ("create mail"), then copy and paste the website url
displayed by Firefox
I want to override this default to Explorer

Hi,
Please try this: '''Tools''' (or '''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Applications'''. Look for or start typing '''mailto''' in the search box and for the '''Action''' change it to the desired mail client (the application that opens up in Explorer) if the value is different.

HT1386 Outlook Express has been replaced with Windows Live Mail.

Seems the only PC option to sync the calendar is via the pricy Outlook. Are these the only options?

I believe it's the only option if you need a calendar locally on your desktop to sync with your iPhone. You can still sync online calendars however with your iPhone. For example, gmail or hotmail calendars.

Gconsync drops postal addresses with big Address Book changes?

After many years of procrastinating, I've thrown a lot of contacts into my Address Book just in time to send Christmas cards. I've configured Address Book to talk with Gmail, which causes gconsync to run once an hour.
I've observed that when I do large amounts of changes in Address Book, like a dozen or so in an hour, the postal addresses of random contacts get lost at the Google end. Once this happens, efforts to fix the contacts one-by-one seem pointless. I have to save/export my Mac Address Book, delete contacts at both ends, then reload from my backup to make things right.
Anyone else seen this behavior?

Finally fixed it. I am quite sure one of your address books is messed up. To fix it:
1. Figure out which address book is messed up. I have three, iPhone, iPad, iMac. Shut off iCloud on one of them and try address book updates on the other two. When the problem disappears, you will know which address book is messed up.
2. Next fix the address book on the errant device. I did it by restoring, WITHOUT using a backup. Can't use a backup because the same error will be there. This is a pain because you need to reorganize your aps, logins etc. So, you might want to try shutting off iCloud and removing the address book from the device. Then turn iCloud back on. It will load a new address book. I don't know if this will fix the problem. Might be hidden files that have the problem.
3. This, by the way, also caused a huge power drain for me. You can tell if you have the same problem by opening address book and checking if it is continually trying to sync.

Integrating Microsoft Outlook Web Access email address with a BlackBerry Internet Service account

Hi, I would appreciate some help from anybody that can.
I am a new BB user with a Curve 9300 and have been setting up my device. I have run into a problem and am at a dead end as far as solving it.
KB03133 at http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB03133 describes what I am trying to do, my problem is as follows.
The KB contains 2 sets of instructions for achieving the same result, one, the first one to be done on the device and the second to be done on a PC.
In the first set of instructions, I get as far as step 4, step 5 shows an option "i will provide the settings" I dont have that option available, did I mention that the first thing I did when I took the phone out the box was upgrate to os6 and now I believe that this may have been removed as an option so; is there another way to manually provide email account settings on the device?
In the second set of instructions, going directly to the BIS web page, I cant get past the login page, I have tried to register, I have tried to login, I have asked service provider for passwords and I get one dead end after another, I cannot login nor create an account to login to the BIS web site.
I have managed to add two other email accounts and create a new one from the device using the BIS service on the device but as I understand it the device logs you on automatically and therefore I dont have nor need the password on the device.
Any help would be appreciated, after 10 years as a loyal Nokia user I am now hoping that the decision to move to BB was not one I will live to regret.
Regards
DS

When you go the BIS account on the PC, is this the place you were told to go by your service provider? My own has my carriers' logo on the page and they provided me with the login details whilst I was on the phone to them. It is THEIR responsibility to set up your BIS and to assist you.
Whether you try OTA or on the PC, you must have access to your BIS and when you finally get it, setting up the email couldn't be easier.
I cannot see why upgrading to OS 6 would affect email set-up but as you suggest, the option to put email server details in may have been removed. They are not necessary with BIS.

I copied my Outlook Express address book to an expansion drive. How do I import it into Thunderbird?

Outlook Express was being used with Windows XP

The Import option relies on the previous email application being installed. The usual advice would be to install TB alongside OE, do the import and them move the imported address book data to your new computer.
I appreciate that this isn't helpful when the previous computer dies and all you have is its hard disk or rescued data files.

Outlook Express address book transfer

how do I copy my contacts in my Outlook Express (Time Warner) address book to my ipad mini 2? I already have synchronized my email and get them in both my Windows XP computer and my ipad.

I was having no success at all when I was trying to import mail data from Outlook Express to Mail on the same office G4 Tower where I just upgraded to Tiger, where all the Apple docu says it is possible...
Then I realised,
1. When in X, when importing data from OE, Classic has to be booted, my only and originally OS 9 (installed X on another partition) is to "heavily loaded" with a lot of 3rd party extensions etc, it never loaded completely
Solution: Install another clean and lean copy of OS 9 somewhere else, then designate this as your Classic, and make sure you only have one copy of OE and one set of your Identities etc in the Document folder
2. The easier way out is if you have Office X or Office 2004, use Entourage to import everything from OE, then use Mail to import from Entourage.
Cheers

Syncing with Outlook Express

Is there any way to sync the Iphone with Microsoft Outlook? It is one of my e-mail accounts that is used for my work, but I have not successfully synced that account with my Iphone.

My Outlook Express contacts synced fine with the iPhone. Wish I could sync my original Palm's calendar without having to pay $90+ for Outlook 2007...

Switching from Windows XP to Tiger (Outlook Express problems)

http://www.apple.com/getamac/files.html
That page claims that moving emails would be easy: "Email? You can transfer all your years’ worth of Microsoft Outlook email messages over to your Mac with just a few steps.".
However, I doesn't tell you how actually do to it. I found that the only method to move emails from Outlook Express (which is what most people use) to a Mac to by dragging and dropping them into a folder and then copy the folder to the Mac. Don't know how to import the messages into Apple Mail.
Outlook Express cannot export otherwise except to Outlook and Exchange (but it won't mention where it put the exported mails for some reason).
Outlook Exporess' address book can be exported into a comma-delimited text file but Apple Address Book claims the file is not a comma-delimited text file after all (I looked at it, it is).
What's the easy method to move Outlook Express mails and address book to Mac OS X?

Since you have access to a .Mac trial account (good for 60 days) with your new Mac, a .Mac type account is really an IMAP account and behaves in the same way.
A .Mac type account is the default selection when creating an account with Mail but you can create/access a .Mac account as an IMAP or POP account with Mail and as an IMAP or POP account with another email client on your Mac or with another email client such as OE on your Windows PC.
What the link briefly refers to is creating/accessing your .Mac account as an IMAP account with Outlook or you can do the same with OE.
You can transfer messages from your existing account's Inbox and Sent mailboxes to your .Mac account's Inbox and Sent mailboxes which are stored on the server by default.
When launching Mail on your Mac, your .Mac account's Inbox and Sent mailbox will be synchronized with the server and these transferred messages will be available.
Create a new mailbox or mailboxes - one for the account's Inbox mailbox and one for the account's Sent mailbox. At the menu bar go to Mailbox and select New Mailbox. Select "On My Mac" for the mailbox location (which is stored locally on the hard drive), enter a name for the mailbox and select OK.
Transfer the messages from the account's Inbox and Sent mailboxes to the appropriate user created "On My Mac" location mailboxes. This process stores the transferred messages locally on the hard drive and removes the messages from the server at the same time.
Does OE support exporting address book contacts in vCard format and if not, how about forwarding selected contacts or all contacts as a separate vCard file for each attached to a message as does Outlook?
If no to both and the Address Book does not recognize the exported file as being comma-delimited, try using Address Book Importer.

Hi.
Does this laptop come with Windows 7 by any chance ?
Outlook Express has been replaced with Windows Mail, and is pretty much very similar in use. Indeed there is even an enhanced version called Windows Live Mail. See :-

Outlook Express accesses an address book app called Windoze Contacts for contact info, which the iPad supports syncing contacts with. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes.
