Sending email from Outlook Express via Parallels

Outlook Express works just fine for receiving emails, but I can't get it to send an email. Is there something special I should look for. I use earthlink.net.

This is most likely due to a misconfigured SMTP sever setting. Most ISP's force you to authenticate to the SMTP server, if your using a different account for receiving then you are for sending this may be it. I've also seen where an Anti-Virus software is blocking port 25, SMTP, out to prevent the spread of worms. This is most likely not a problem with Parallels or the Mac but mis configured email client.

  • Moving emails from outlook express to mail

    is there a way to get all of my old emails from outlook express to mail? My old PC is about to die and then I'll loose all of my emails :s that is why I am wondering if there is a solution, now.

    I don't know whether you can do this on a PC version of Outlook Express or not, but I know that you can do stuff like this with Apple's Mail, so it may be worth a shot to try this and see if it works.
    First off, I am assuming that all this old mail is a POP account, and not IMAP. If it were IMAP, it would all be safe on your email account provider's IMAP server and all you would have to do is create the new account in Apple Mail and the first time you connected, it would autosync with the server and all your old mail would just be there. But if POP, all mail is downloaded to your computer then deleted from the server. So, assuming this to be a POP account, here is what I would try to do if I were you.
    1. Go to http://webmail.aol.com and sign up for a new free IMAP email account from AOL. You could get a free gmail account if you wanted, too, but I believe there is a bit of extra configuration involved in making it a IMAP and not POP. AOL is IMAP by default. Plus, AOL is a built-in new-account setup option in Apple Mail.
    2. On the PC in Outlook Express, add a new account for your new AOL email account. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883081 to find out all the particulars about account settings and how to do it in Outlook Express.
    3. On the Mac in Apple Mail, as stated in #1 above, AOL Mail is one of the options when creating a new account. Just follow Mail's "new account wizard" to create your AOL account there.
    4. On the Mac, create a second new account for your existing POP account. Mirror the individual mail folder layout that are on your old PC for the old POP account.
    5. This is the part that I don't know if PC Outlook Express will let you do, but I know that Apple Mail does:
    (a) Open each of your mail folders in the old POP account stored on your dying hard drive one at a time
    (b) Highlight/select all the messages in that folder
    (c) Drag them to the AOL inbox. In Apple Mail, they would be copied to the IMAP server, preserving all the original "From" and "Date Received" and other information like that.
    6. On the Mac, drag the messages that you uploaded into the AOL inbox and drop them into the appropriate folder of the "legacy" POP account that you created in #4. That will clear them out of the AOL inbox and they will now be stored on your computer as downloaded popmails.
    7. Go back to step #5 and repeat this process for each of your folders on the old PC until you have emptied all the messages off your old computer.
    Now, I will have to issue a disclaimer that I have only done this myself from IMAP to IMAP and to/from IMAP from/to "On My Mac" folders, which keeps copies of messages locally but not on IMAP servers. So I have no reason to suspect that this would not apply equally to POP since it worked with "On My Mac" folders. And whether the PC's Outlook Express will support the POP-to-IMAP drag-and-drop is a total unknown to me.
    I'm sure I'll hear back via this forum whether this worked or not, but it's the best idea that I can come up with, and like I said, a similar (but not identical) situation worked for me before.

  • Can't send email from Outlook with parentheses in address

    I can't send email from Outlook 2007 through my WRT400N when Outlook displays the address with parentheses as in this example: Firstname Lastname ([email protected])
    I can send if the address is in this form: Firstname Lastname <[email protected]>
    I have tested with the ISP and nothing gets through the router when the problem occurs. When I bypass the router, both forms of address will send correctly. This problem is perfectly reproducible. My router is brand new, but the problem did not show up for about a week after installation. OS is Win7. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Try to forward the port 443 to 447 on the router.Check this link.

  • Sending emails from outlook - suddenly not getting...

    Hi everyone, I am new here but a btinternet customer for a good while. I have been quite happily sending emails from outlook to both other btinternet email addresses and a variety of non bt emails. all of a sudden on Thursday, they stopped being received by the recipient. The send/receive process seems to work (visually) and the logs and outbox show they have been sent - but nothing is received at the other end.
    I have not touched any settings etc, so what could be the problem?
    Looking to find out if there is anything I can do at my end or whether BT needs informing (though I cannot see who to contact).
    Yours in anticipation,
    Mark

    Hi Mark.
    Is this still a problem ?
    Was the problem to all of your recipients, or just one or two ?

  • How many of you use CTRL + Enter to send email from Outlook

    It's a much faster option...and you don't have to grab that pesky mouse!

    I was working this morning and I asked my fiance if she used CTRL + Enter to send email from Outlook and she was not even aware that was an option. I have been using it for years and I wondered how many of you SpiceHeads use it as well?

  • Can't import emails from outlook express into mail

    Just bought a macbook, I'm new into MAC, I'm a MAC ROOKIE. I'm trying to import my email from my microsoft outlook express to my MAC MAIL, I followed the instructions to import from outlook but when I locate the outlook files for my emails (they have extension .dbx but it won't let me select the files. Besides in the outlook folder there are dozens of files (1 per email subfolder). What am I doing wrong that I can't import the emails, nor the address book?
    Thxs!!!
    Avecesar

    Pay attention to the information Mail displays during the import process. It could be that it wants you to select the folder that contains the files to be imported, rather than the files themselves.
    EDITED: Now that I've read your post again, I don't think you're going to be able to do this on your MacBook, as importing from Outlook Express requires that application to be running in the "Classic" environment, which isn't available for Intel-based Macs.
    Disclaimer: I know next to nothing about how importing from Outlook Express is supposed to work, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

  • How to drag and drop an email from Outlook Express (with example code)

    Hi,
    It is possible to drag a mail from Outlook Express and drop it on the desktop, and the file created is a .eml, which is a text file.
    If I drop it into a Java application, no DataFlavor is provided to make the data transfer possible.
    As the data to transfer is a text, it should be possible to drop it.
    How to make a DataFlavor available and recover the text as a stream of characters?
    Example code
    The small application below shows the MIME type of the data that is about to be dropped. If you drag an icon from the desktop, a type will be displayed; if you drag an Outlook Express mail, no type will be displayed.
    Thanks.

    It might just be Microsoft not using standards? I remember having a similar situation - I had an application that could have a zip entry fron 7-zip drag-and-dropped into it (came over as plain text, or maybe an InputStream, can't remember), but when you drill into a zip file with Windows (Vista at least), and try to drag-and-drop a zip entry from Windows Explorer, Java shows no dataflavors available. I just assumed Microsoft wasn't exporting the zip entry in any standard format (such as plain text).
    Sorry, I know that wasn't very helpful, just thought I'd share a similar experience. :)

  • Cannot send email from outlook 2011 (Mac) on public networks but can send via  Mac Mail

    I cannot send mail with Outlook from anywhere other than my work or home network, will not work even when accessing 4g with my phone hotspot; very frustrating. I am using Yosemite & Macbook Pro (2012). if i use the Apple Mail everything works fine so I can only assume it is a setting on Outlook?

    Update - I now have it working.
    am not really sure what exactly fixed it.
    I changed a lot of things but my setup now has the following which I think fixed.
    outgoing server  - p06-smtp.mail.me.com
    override default port checked - port now 587
    on more options button changed it to "use incoming server info".

  • 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.
