Outlook Express

I just unplugged my PC for good and so now I am a Mac only person. Some things of course I still need such as Outlook Express which I use as my main email provider. The only thing I need to use Windows for in boot camp is to play a game that is not supported by Mac...Novalogic's Joint Operations.
How can I use Outlook Express within OS X 10.4.8 besides using Parallels?
Also, is there a way for all of my email to be forwarded from my main outlook email express to my Mac email adddress?
iMac Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2.1ghz, 1gb Ram, 20" iMac

Most Mail services work with Mail. If it is POP, IMAP (AOL does IMAP), Exchange, or Hotmail you can access the Mail accounts with Mac OS X Mail. To get Hotmail support, you need the httpd plugin. This article explains how to do Hotmail with Mail:

Is there a mail service you are on that doesn't use one of these four protocols?

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!

Downloads to Outlook Express mail from Google now (since Mozilla update) incomplete. ¿A Mozilla problem?

For years, download to Outlook Express of mail in three Gmail accounts worked fine.
New problem, not all of the mail at Google gets to Outlook, and what's missing disappears.
This problem appeared after recent Firefox update. Is this a possible cause?
I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium

It an Outlook Express thing Firefox has nothing to do with it. But after saying that, if you view your mail with a browser and then open Outlook Express, it will not see it as new mail and leave it on the server.
Also OE is really limited you should use Thunderbird mail

or something else.

How to use ActiveX of outlook express to realize the function of sending email using labview?

thanks!

I didn't manage to find a public ActiveX interface for Outlook Express, but I did find one for Outlook, and a few quick tweaks managed to get a message in the outbox. For some reason it wasn't sent (maybe I didn't have a user set up properly), but you can try playing with it to see.
Another option would be to use the built in SMTP VIs (unless you need POP3).
Try to take over the world!

Windows Vista and Outlook Express 2003 on a Satellite A100-014

Does anyone have the same problem as i am experiencing?
When i try to reply to an email with outlook express on my computer with windows vista home, if the email is originally an html formatted message, hitting the reply button and starting to type up the message will just close down the application.

Hello there! thanks for the reply. of course, i made a mistake, i meant to ask about MICROSOFT OUTLOOK in fact, not outlook express. It sometimes happens that when i hit the reply button, it opens up an error message, that prompts me to the VISTA procedure for resolving mistakes, which often doesn't work. But once it did point me finally to a window telling me that there is no upgrading for that error for MS Outlook for windows vista.
Do you have any advice? you think i should remove and then re-install MS outlook?
THanks agaiN!

Hi, I have an iphone 3GS from HK. After upgrading to 4.3.3 from 4.3.2 as prompted by itunes on May 10, 2011 my entire contact in my iphone was wiped out! When I checked my backup file in Outlook Express it was also wiped out!!! What can I do now?

Hi, I have an iphone 3GS purchased in HK. After upgrading to 4.3.3 from 4.3.2 as prompted by itunes on May 10, 2011 my entire contact in my iphone was wiped out. When I checked my backed up file in Outlook Express, it was also wiped out during the synchronization. I tried to restore from backup on iTunes but still, the contact was not there anymore. I have contacted your HK Apple Hotline and talked to a technical support called TIMMY LO, he said there is nothing to do with them and he refused to provide any support to recover my contact, he even said I should try to pay extra money to 3rd party supplier and see what they can do to my iphone, despite the fact that this could be caused by the pre-mature release of 4.3.3 when a bug still hasn't been fixed. I am very disappointed at Apple's service, especially considering that I have been a loyal customer of iphone / ipod touch in the past few years. I need an official reply from Apple on this! How can Apple be so irresponsible to their own firmware failure??

I need to use Outlook Express to apply for jobs and I either don't have it but when I try to send an e-mail on Outlook Express, it won't go through and gives me an error report.....I really need to be able to use Outlook Express to apply for jobs. Help!

When I try to apply for job and when I try to e-mail my resume' and Outlook Express comes up to reply to on, I put in my information, etc but when I hit send, it doesn't go through and says? POP and then error report and doesn't go through.

I can't provide a solution with or without the error message, but without an error message, you are making everyone guess at what you see. I have no idea what you see, and I think someone who might be able to help you solve your problem would need to know what that message says. Is "Outlook Express" (Windows Live Mail) your default email processor, if not what is?

Is it possible that someone can disable my OUTLOOK EXPRESS by not letting me log in my password. and also not allowing me to log in to my gaming account.

Hiya, some time ago I had problems with various things on my pc, any way to cut a long story short I was linked through to some indians and I gave them remote access to my pc and they were cleaning up the Problems and faults,and threats, viruses etc. Telling me all the time that it was a free service etc,etc. So when I realised what it was really going to cost ie(£300) plus!
I immediately pulled the plug and told him that it was not me who made contact but them.
Anyway every now and again my PC starts playing up and I can't use my Outlook express. Because I can't get to contact them, in order to change my password. And also my gaming account, I can't log in becauseit won't let me type in my details,ie: Where I type in my user name it is got mumbo jumbo letters so I can't log in.
Also just about this time I get phone calls from indians asking if I am having problems and offering to sort them out, ie you're is running very slow, threats, we just answer no thanks and hang up. I feel they do infact have something to do with these things. is there anything I can do to put this right?
PS I have taken th pc to a local dealer who completely wiped and cleaned it, and who has serviced my pc several times because of things going wrong, At one point I was literally going to throw it in the dump, it was costing more than the Mortgage.

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.

How do I use Safari or Outlook Express for e-mail?

I have Mac OS 10.3.5 and Safari. I am going to switch my ISP with AOL dial-up to a DSL company possibly with Yahoo. I have never used Outlook Express. Now, I want to use either Safari or Outllok Express 5.0 for my e-mail. I want to save all the e-mail in my compter. Which program can work better for me? How do I start to set up e-mail?
Thank you very much in advance for your advice and instruction.
Robert

Safari does not do email (except if it is web email which all browsers can do.) Outlook Express only works with OS 9, there is no OS X version. OS X comes with a dedicated email application called Mail. You will find it in your Applications folder.
If you open the Mail application and select Mail Help from the Help menu you will find all the information on how to configure Mail for your email needs.

How to transfer all emails and contacts from Outlook Express to Outlook 2010

I have just done this and believe me it was a bit of a marathon! Microsoft tell you that you need to have both Outlook Express and Outlook 2010 running on the same machine. If, like me, your Outlook 2010 in running on a Windows 7 platform there is a problem.
Until now I have been using Outlook Express on a Desktop running XP Pro. It has Outlook 2007 but it won’t run owing to a corrupted file. I set up my email account on an old XP laptop which has Outlook 2007. This is how I transferred emails between 2 machines
running Outlook Express:
After setting up the account (on the old laptop) I created sub-folders exactly the same as my existing account. Having got some emails in the inbox I made sure that each new sub-folder contained at least one random email simply by drag and drop. It seems to
validate the folders. I then copied the folders from the maintenance directory on the desktop (you find this under Tools – Options – Maintenance) and pasted them into the equivalent folder on the this old laptop so they overwrote those present. I transferred
the contacts simply using Export – Address Book using a csv file. I then set up the email account in Outlook 2007 on the old laptop and ran an import from Outlook Express which was fine as per Microsoft’s instructions. On that machine I then exported to a
backup pst file which I transferred to my new Windows 7 machine and imported successfully into Outlook 2010. Perhaps there are easier ways but at least it worked!

How can I create a new outlook express account on mac

Hello,
I am trying to find the eqivilent of account settings on my mac book air to create and retreive an outlook express account.
Does anyone know what to do please?

Accounts are normally not email software dependent unless configured to save locally on your computer. If you have a pst file on your PC that is large, you will need to import that. POP accounts are usually locally stored. Otherwise, many server accounts are typically IMAP, or Exchange. So go back to your PCs email software and determine what it is. If it is Outlook for Mac which is the only Outlook you have be clear how it is setup.

Thunderbird crashes when importing high amount of Outlook Express .dbx files.

Greetings !
I'm trying to make a migration from Outlook Express to Thunderbird for a professional. His mail folder is made of around 1400 .dbx files (18GB of mails -woh-). Every time I'm trying to do the importation, Thunderbird crashes.
I think I should specify that this importation is happening on the new computer I set up and from the old hard drive.
I also tried importing small amounts : it worked but it's killing the file tree, which is not acceptable on a such amount of mails.
I found mention of an 'Undbx' software that could help me. I'll try it very soon and report.
I will provide a dxdiag.txt soon too, but I really think the PC is set up correctly (I have some experience in this domain).
Importing this mail folder is critical since it's a professional need, so I'm relying on you and deeply thank you for your effort here.
PS : English is not my native tongue, excuse the grammar and spelling mistakes.

Dear Matt.
I can proudly announced the problem is solved !
In 'accounts settings' (not sure of my translation here), I set the mail storage folder to a new one, near the hard drive root, then launched the importation. And it went just well, keeping up the file tree and all.
Thank you a lot for the informations you gave me. I wouldn't have found out the path length is limited to 255 without you. '''You rock, sir !'''
I owe you.
Keep up the good work. Thanks again.
Sincerly yours,
Jack
PS : Some information on this issue on the database would be welcome I think and I'd happily participate.

Clicking on an email address on a webpage, opens outlook express, but does not create a new mail, which it used to. annoying as it then means cutting & pasting the details

As I said above, clicking on an email address on a webpage, opens outlook express which is my default email client. In the past it used to also open a new mail, ready for me to type the message but now it does not. It works if I load internet explorer as the browser but does not in firefox. I prefer firefox, so can someone help me resolve this. Its so annoying to have to open a new mail then cut & paste the email details.

I posted this reply elsewhere in the support forum but I'll copy it here for you, as follows....
I had the same problem. Initially thought I needed a string (code) to run the "Create new e-mail" command for Outlook but I didn't. I did a few things that eventually made it work, but I don't know for certain which one it was so here goes.
1.) Go to Control Panel and click on Internet Properties. Go to the Programs tab and double-check that Outlook Express is your default e-mail client. (This is probably for IE).
2. Close Outlook Express. Select the RUN command from the Start Menu and type the following: <msimn /reg>. Only type the info between the brackets. Click the OK button and wait about 5 seconds. Nothing will happen on screen but the information is being silently written to the registry.
3. Open Outlook Express and go to the Tools Menu. Select Options. On the General tab, look down to the Default Messaging Programs. More than likely, the top option will say that "This application is NOT the default Mail handler" Click the button next to it that says "Make Default". This should trigger an available option in Firefox, below, if it was not already available.
4. In Firefox, go to the Tools menu. Select Options. Click on Applications. Under the column, "Content Type" look for the mailto function. In the column Action, select "Use Outlook Express (default)" if it is not already selected. "(default)" must be part of the phrase. Somehow there is code behind this option that will bring up a new e-mail in Outlook that otherwise does not work if Outlook is selected manually. (To choose Outlook manually, you will indeed have to find the string code somewhere.)

When clicking on a link within my Outlook Express, it will not open to the website. This has worked flawlessly in the past. What has changed? Thank you.

When working in Outlook Express and attempting to click on a link in my email, it will not open the website any more. This worked flawlessly before last week and now has stopped working. Please advise.

Hi mcsimmons,
First thing I would do is check [[How to make Firefox the default browser|to see if Firefox is your default browser]]. You could also go to ''Start > Control Panel > Internet Options > Programs Tab'' on your computer and make Firefox the default web browser that way.
Hopefully this helps!
