The problem is probably not with Outlook Express but with your e-mail server. Do you use a web based program such at Hotmail or Gmail, or do you use a service provided by your ISP? Definitely need more information here before any help can be rendered.

As a user stuck on an antique DUN I recognize your concern regarding your e-mail. It is my guess you are not speaking of your e-mail in general, but rather e-mails that are graphic intensive or have photo attachments. Since you are on a DUN it will make little difference if you convert to a web-based account or not. Your system will still have to download the e-mails and their attachments into a temporary file for the web-based client to open them. There are a couple of things that you can do, but I am going to wait to see if my assumption is correct. I do as Gene reports and automatically purge my deleted e-mail upon closing Windows Mail, and previously OE. However, if you decide to enroll in this option once the e-mail is deleted it is gone forever. If Windows ever wants to compact your e-mail allow it to do so. DA

How to Change from Outlook Express to Outlook

With MS Office 2007 or 2000 just open Outlook and the setup window appears. Probably the same for other versions. Follow along and at some point you will probably be asked if you wish to make Outlook your default mail handler.

I have just loaded Outlook on a new notebook, Outlook 2002. I've used this version of Outlook since 2002, but alas that notebook did a big crash. The good news, I had all but the last two days of message folders on a back up drive, in a folder called "Exchange". Now, on my old XP home there was a folder called "OutlookFolders" which had "Exchange" and other details in it. So, all I need to do is copy the back-up data into the new computer's "OutlookFolders", but I can't find them, nor can the XP search. I do have folders maked to shoe hidden. Any help would be appreciated.

Vacation Message Outlook Express?
Q

yep. Look under Rules. Lots of ways to do it probably want to use Where the too line contains yourname@youraddress.com Send ... then aim it at a file to send them. But then you have to leave your computer online and scheduled gathering of mail a couple times a day or more for it to work. Might be way easier to look at your isp in the webmail and see if there is an option for vacation messages there. And turn off your home computer so lightning doesnt get it.

Don't know about Outlook Express, since mine is Outlook.

In Outlook, if accidently set it 'work offline', it won't send mails out. The 'work offline' option is under 'FILE'.

I had multiple phone/comp. problems untill the man replaced the line TO THE HOUSE. Lost OE completely and was irked! I kept restoring system and it came back WITH O.E.
Of course , you have to do SOME updating SOMETIMES after a restore. That was the only fix this old man knew to do and wasn't sure that it would cure my ills, but it did. I've used O.E. for so long that I just hate to TRY and go to another e mail program.

Your phone or cable line being replaced has nothing to do with Outlook Express.

I would suspect that if you've done multiple restores a setting got changed somewhere.

What happens when you try to send an email? Do you get any kind of error messages?
