Viewing .doc Attachment in Outlook Express

When receiving a MS Word .doc in Outlook Express, SunOffice Writer grabs the file and displays it instead of MS Word which is also on my Windows XP machine. Usually, it doesn't present the document as the sender had intended.
How can I make MS Word the default so that I can view the file correctly?

Use the the search-function of the forum ans search for 'Star Office Changes All Office Files'.

Decode Attachment in OutLook Express .dbx with MimeUtility?

Hi boys,
I want to extract an attachment (encoded in base64 format) from outlook express .dbx file.
I construct 2 classes :
- the first extract from dbx file the attachment data and write it to disk.
- the second read from disk and decode with MimeUtility class (JavaMail).
The result is that the final file decoded is 600 byte less the original.
sigh!.
Can Anyone help me?
Thanks Emanuele

there is a difference :
85.854 before

Outlook Express problem

I occasionally receive e-mail with Visio attachments that I KNOW are not harmful yet a message at the top of the e-mail says "OE removed access to the following unsafe attachments in your mail: HSHA.vsd" What changes can I make to my outlook express to resolve this problem? My co-worker in the next office can open them, but on my computer, they are grayed out.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

But, I'll take the high road, and help you anyway.
http://www.tweaksforgeeks.com/Outlook_Express_Attachment_Security.html
OE removed access to the following unsafe attachments in your mail
If receive this error with attachments in Outlook Express, here's how you fix it:
Outlook Express 6 has quite a few security enhancements that are good, but with some of the latest security patches OE has become so hyperactive with blocking everything that even having an attachment has become useless.
To view the attachments that Outlook Express has deemed "unsafe" do this:
Open Outlook Express
Click Tools->Options
Click the Security tab
Uncheck the Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus box
Click OK.
If you're opening an executable, be absolutely sure that it's safe. I never open an exe unless I know exactly what it is, and was expecting it.
If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.

Error message when opening pdf attachment in Outlook 2003

I have several computers in my network running different version of Adobe Acrobat...Adobe 6.0 standard, Adobe 7.0 standard, Adobe 8.0 standard and pro, and Adobe 9.0 standard and pro. The problem I am having with a few of my end users is that when they receive an e-mail in Outlook 2003 with a pdf attachment from certain companies that we deal with in the insurance industry, they receive an error message saying they can not open the file...
"Can't create file:XXXXXXXX.pdf. Right click on the folder you want to create the file in, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check permission for the folder."
The strange part about this is they can forward the e-mail to another end user that may or may not be using the same version of Adobe as them, but the other end user has no problem opening and viewing the pdf attachment (also, if the company sending the e-mail sends the same e-mail to another end user who has no issues, they can open it with just fine) Now here is where it gets really strange... if the end user that can view the file saves the file to their hard drive, then sends it back as the same attachment in an e-mail back to the end user that could not open the file originally, now that end user can open and view the pdf attachment. I have three end users that this affecting and they each have a different version of Adobe Acrobat with all of the latest updates. I am stumped and searches so far have revealed no solutions...
Any ideas?

The can only open it on their machine if they save the pdf attachment after renaming it. All computers on the network have the latest Outlook 2003 updates, so it puzzles me that only three end users with the same version of Outlook 2003, with the same updates, are not able to view the attachment from Outlook, but the other users can. Also, why do those three end users have to rename the file if the save it to the their computer to be able to view it, but no one else has to. And, it is not every pdf attachment either, just some from certain people that send them an e-mail. Really puzzling issue that I need to get resolved...

Firefox 5 does not play well with Outlook Express

This bug has been locking up my computer since FF4. When I drag an attachment from Outlook Express email to the XP desktop with Firefox 5 (or 4) open, my computer freezes. It happens on multiple computers and does not happen with FF3, IE8, or Chrome. Plus it even just locked up after reboot when FF attempted to restore the previous session.

Here's the bug on Bugzilla: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674644 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674644]
Hope they'll fix it soon! :-(

Not able to view WorkItem attachment

Hi ,
I am attaching the TIFF file from application server .But when I am trying to see the attachment I am getting an errror" THIS OPERATION COULD NOT BE PERFORMED"
any idea how to come out of this?
Thanks

Hi,
Based on your description, only the first recipient can view the attachment in Outlook.
Please check if this issue appears in OWA.
Please check if you can download the attachment in Outlook and see it.
Please use an internal user to send a jpeg file attachment to others internally and check if users can view the attachment.

Issue with signatures viewed in outlook express

I have a signature I use containing business contact details etc, used in all emails.
If I send an email to a computer using outlook express the signature appears as normal.
If however I attach a attachment when viewed in outlook express the signature appears twice.
The second one below the first correct one but larger than the first. That's the main issue I need to solve but only appears if there's an attachment.
The same email received in mail on the Mac look ok though.
The second problem thats not really important but worth mentioning.
The first signature in the email in outlook express has a line above and below,
Again this doesn't appear if that same email is viewed in Mac mail.

Not an entirely satisfactory solution but changing to plain text seems to get around this problem.

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 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...

Improper rendering of forwarded message in Outlook Express

I am not able to view forwarded mail (not properly rendered) in Outlook
Express although in Microsoft Outlook, it views fine. The forwarded
message is not shown as an email message but instead as a file
attachment which can be saved to file. Any pointers to why Outlook
Express renders it like that?
I have copied below the code and the message.
The following code is being used to create the forwarded message:
String subject = oldMsg.getSubject(); //oldMsg is the MimeMessage to be forwarded.
MimeMultipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
MimeBodyPart bp = new MimeBodyPart();
bp.setContent( "", "text/plain" );
mp.addBodyPart( bp );
MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage( mailSession );
msg.setFrom( from );
MimeBodyPart bp = new MimeBodyPart();
bp.setContent( oldMsg, "message/rfc822" );
bp.setFileName( "forward.cpm" );
mp.addBodyPart( bp );
msg.setContent( mp ); // add Multipart
msg.saveChanges(); // generate appropriate headers
The message is getting created as follows:

Guru,
I am trying to run sample javamail program msgshow.java
with these parameters
-T imap -H <host> -U <user> -P <pwd>
and I get an exception
javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException: There is no such mailbox on this server
 boolean com.sun.mail.imap.IMAPStore.protocolConnect(java.lang.String, int, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
 void javax.mail.Service.connect(java.lang.String, int, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
 void msgshow.main(java.lang.String[])
My question is
1. Where can I find host name for reading email from Microsoft Exchange server?
2. Could you give me an example of such a server?
Thanks a lot in advance.

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
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/
or something else.

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.
Please read more info on global inbox here:

When I open an email's attachment from Outlook, the email's attachment is no longer avail to open on my iPad and iPhone

When opening an email's attachment in Outlook 2007, that email's attachment is no longer available to view on my iPhone and iPad.
How do I correct this to keep the attachment available on iPad and iPhone, when the email's attachment is initially opened from Microsoft Outlook please??

If you're talking about an old iCloud ID, you have to delete the old account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
