Working on a friend's computer. All of a sudden he can't delete anything.
If I highlight an email then hit the delete button nothing happens. If I
open the message then hit the delete I get a dialog box that says "This
message can't be deleted" Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rick Morrison
Outlook express does not start anymore, I double click on the shortcut, on
the file in the outlook express folder in program files and nothing.
I try to import the messages in the outlook and it says that wnother program
is using the folder, I should close that one and try again, but there is no
program using that folder.
The only thing that happened recently is that I installed framework 1.1 and 2.
Please advice!
Thanks!
I get a blinking screen in OE only, some times for less than a second,
sometimes about 2 seconds. It always comes back to where it was whether
reading or writing an email, or just having OE open. Never had problem until
a few months ago and does not occur with other programs or the internet. It
just now occurred again for a second as I compose this message. I do regular
scans for malware, spyware and viruses. Any one have a clue why?
Hi
When a right click on any file while viewing in Explorer and choose Sent to
> Mail recipient, the default email program that opens is Live Mail, but i
want Outlook Express. This is even after after changing my default mail
handler to Outlook Express. Is there a way to correct this ?
Thanks !
Daniel

I send emails and outlook express 6 shows that they have been sent but the
emails are never received. I am running windows xp and sending emails thru
comcast.net. Some emails go thru and I can go to comcast and send emails
thru their website. Any help?

Many posts to this (OE6) newsgroup made via NNTP are not arriving here in OE
(especially posts made via Windows Live Mail) or in the web-based access to
this newsgroup.
Many (if not all) of the posts made via the web-based access to this
newsgroup are not arriving here in OE.
Many posts made to this newsgroup via Google Groups are not arriving here in
OE or in the web-based access to this newsgroup; e.g.,
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress/msg/b0032c995a550425
Speaking of Google Groups, it looks like every post made to this newsgroup
via NNTP (any news client), via the web-based access, or via Google Groups
is showing up in Google Groups archive of this newsgroup
(http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress).
That being said, it /appears/ that this behavior is not being seen in OE
General newsgroup, so if you're having problems finding your posts here
(moonraker), use OE General as your default instead.
OE General newsgroup via your newsreader (e.g., OE):
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general
Via the web:

INTERNET EXPLORER
Version 7.0.5730.13

I have tried several times over the last couple of months to compact emails
in OE. (Usually due to being prompted).
Within the box entitled "Compacting"
The compacting starts, and zips through the various email folders and then
moves onto the newsgroups, (about 8/9 off).
With the green progress bar nearly full and showing a "folders file" name
tag, a message box explodes on the desktop:-
"The folder is currently in use by outlook express or by another
application"
But no error code.
The box just sits there folding up the pages and on this occasion has
refused to close!!!!!
This may have occurred since having started accessing the newsgroup on this
PC late year, as I used to use the Win98 machine
Many thanks

I have a 91-year old senior citizen friend, whose kids just bought him
a new computer with Windows 7 - and no e-mail program. He is
attempting to use the Verizon web-mail, but he doesn't have the
addresses from his old computer Outlook (??) program. Is there some
way that his address book from the old computer be imported into his
new computer, and then exported to his Verizon web-mail address book?
Thanks!
I should have mentioned that the attachment had a wps file designation. To
open it, I got a message which said that I needed a converter and that I
should insert my MS Office XP Standard for Students and Teachers. I did so,
and the unreadable attachment was the result. I have Outlook Express 6.
Thank you all for responding.
I was able to open this attachment but it is written in computer code. Is
there any way to translate this into readable English? Thank you for any
help.

Hi team,
I have post to questions recently entitled "Compacting........or rather not
quite...."
One dated...01 February 2010 23:50
The other....03 February 2010 13:13
To this newsgroup:-
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress
Has anyone found them or know of their whereabouts, as I am beginning to get
quite concerned?
Have they been kidnapped or taken to another newsgroup?

Like it says, I have a large number of files I need to store somewhere other
than on the hard drive, so how do I get to copy them to a cd?
I have tried but they don't seem to finish on the cd.

Via Outlook Express 6, somehow I managed to screw up the posts in a
different news group so that now I see nothing in that subject after
1/30/2010 7:32pm EST -- do you know how I can recapture those posts?

Running WIN XP and OE6. Generally happy with OE6 but realize this is a dead
program.
Any reasons why I should not switch to WLM which I understand to be
Microsoft's
current replacement for OE6-8
Thanks
