you can also make a folder in locals like owbist instructed and name it "friends" or "family" for example, then make other folders in side it. it makes the list shorter. i made one for internet transactions, internet friends, etc. with sub folders.

I'm looking at some things on Craigslist but when I click on the sellers link to send them an email, Outlook opens. Jane, Whenever I am on a website where I click on their link to send them an email, my outlook express always opens with their addy after the To: So what I do is: I highlight THEIR address, click copy, and paste it after To: in my separate g-mail web account to write to them from there. I never use my OE to respond to any website when OE pops up. OR------If you have like I do, (my g-mails accessed in my OE) while in Outlook express, I leave as is and just change the OE address of mine to my webmail address as if I am writing from g-mail.

Just browsing around tonight and noticed there were computer forums here. I use AOL thought I would tell you it can be done as I have tried this and it works fine. Read the link I posted and it will tell you what program to download. It's for gmail but when you install it you will have the option to pick AOL from the list. and that's it. Then when you are online and click somewhere to email a site it will bring up a filled in AOL mail form from aol.com. I am guessing though you have to make sure you leave aol.com logged in all the time and do not sign out. I was helping someone once make yahoo.com the default mail in firefox by using the malto code or what ever it is and stumbled upon this so thought I would try it and file it away for reference in case someone needed to know that. Mary Here is a link that might be useful: Make aol the default email

Betty, I have researched this on my Vista Windows Mail system and I currently don't have access to my old Win98 system with OE. (Garage is snowed in) On the Windows Mail system I opened the addressbook and right clicked on an entry. The drop down window appeared and I selected Properties. The appearing window showed the addressee, Richard Nixon :) among other items. I just back spaced the name out and reentered it as Nixon Richard, and selected OK. The entry took up a new spot in the addressbook now under N. Perhaps this will also work with OE. When it thaws a bit I can check for you. DA
