I have a problem with my newsserver, the first time I click to open a news
OE hangs for 30" and I get this message "NNTP server NNTP did not answer
after 30", retry or break?", I hit "break" then I click on the same news and
I can read it. The same problem arises after some minutes of inactivity on
OE. Summing up I often am forced to stay 30" waiting for OE restarting.
My provider says he is not able to reproduce the malfunction and that's
all...
I tried to search in the Windows registry with Regedit and I found this
interesting key:
HKCU\Identities\{ident.account}\software\microsoft\Internet Account
>> Manager\Accounts\{account number of my newsserver}\NNTP Timeout
being set to hex 1E (decimal 30), then I lowered it to hex 0A (decimal 10)
but nothing changed.
I also tried to trace the malfunction with Wireshark utility (I was able to
read line tracing when I worked) and at NNTP level I see something like
that:
time 23.95 Request group microsoft.public.it.windows.vista
time 26.21 TCP retransmission of the previous request
time 30.80 TCP retransmission of the previous request
time 39.99 TCP retransmission of the previous request
time 58.58 TCP retransmission of the previous request - but at this moment
the 30" timeout must alrealy have elapsed
time 67.60 response from newsserver (I can't know what it means)
time 67.60 request mode reader
time 67.78 response from newsserver (I can't know what it means)
time 67.78 request group microsoft.public.it.windows.vista
time 67.96 response from newsserver (I can't know what it means)
time 67.96 request article 150228
time 68.15 response carrying the text of the news I clicked
someone can help?

On this page, http://www.insideoe.com/files/wab.htm elude to the fact that
someone can
"begin a new message in a standalone .wab"
Not sure what that means or how to do that, but would like to know. I open
the stand alone wab and and there is now link to start a new message, or
create
mail, etc. More than likely its something simple that I'm not picking up
on, but alittle help would be appreciated.
thanks, Mike
I copied and pasted, either text or words, in an email address from a spam
email and now when I write a new email and try to enter my email address in
the from window those words I copied and pasted some hours ago appears there.
I have copied and pasted other items since then so am wondering why is this
email address in text form from the spammers email is appearing.
Coincidentally the spammers email address begins with the same letter as my
email address begins with,"c". The email address is a popular ISP here in New
Zealand xtra.co.nz.

I just went to a website that said they don't support IE6 anymore. Assume
I'll be getting this answer more and more.
If I upgrade from IE 6 to IE8 will I get the terrible favorites view rather
than the IE6 I am have.
IE8 Favorites drive me nuts when I try to save something in that I have to
go though the "whole" list of folders rather than be able to zero in on a
specific folder.
Thanks !
Suddenly OE will not send email but gives a "not enough memory" message. My
sent mail folder is suddenly empty as well. Also, if I try to move a message
into the now empty sent malil folder I get the same message. Other logon IDs
on the same computer can still send and receive properly. I am using one of
those as a workaround but would like my main userID to work again.
System restore did nothing to improve the situation. I cleared inbox and
outbox folders, discarded several GB of other files and defragmented with no
effect as well.
XP Home, SP3, 12GB free on an 80GB hard drive. Message text: "an attempt
to allocate memory failed. The system is out of memory. 0x8008000E."
Thanks

i use my e-mail to sign up an waited for a responce an i never received
anything from the person i sent a message to also i am not receiving any
mail peroid it says no connection please help
I have been trying to figure out how to backup/copy my email settings and
messages and folders. I still am confused.
Is there a step by step for a grey surfer?
Also I had an old OE folder with the .dbx messages from long ago on Win98. I
would like to access them but
have no idea how. (incidentally the little icon beside them is from
Photoshop so Photoshop trys to open them if
I click on it.
Sound confused, I am.

I keep all my addresses in the Main Book. I also have three Groups with
approx 350 names & addresses in each.
How do I Sort these Groups alphabetically?
Bob M.
My OS is Windows XP SP3
I did a bad thing and edited the Outbox.dbx and by edit I mean deleted
everything in there. Now I cannot send mail. I get a "The message could not
be sent. An error occured." I have renamed it old, so it can rebuild, I
have tried to restore my Store folder from a saved version on a jump drive.
Nothing seems to work. Anyone have any ideas? Do I have to reinstall
Outlook Express? I would rather not if possible.
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

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):

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
