Sending attachments
What would cause OE 6 to suddenly fail to
send e-mails with attachments. It can send
and receive e-mails without any attachments,
but won't send an e-mail with any files
attached. No errors or anything else is
reported.
I don't see anything on the Security tab for
outgoing restrictions or conditions.

When using the internet other sites appear on my computer without me

down, other sites have come on to the computer. I have checked my security

Missing Menu Items in OE6 ... crosspost
Crosspost:
I don't know exactly WHAT happened but my OE Tools menu has disappeared.
I've tried a lot of things to get it back but no luck.
Also I cannot access my message rules although, when I maximize a message, I
CAN enter a new RULE but cannot view those that I already have...
Folks have told me I must reinstall the entire windows program (XP Home SP2)
... I really feel like a newbie but, for some reason, I'm resisting
installing an entire program because one part of it doesn't work - that's
almost like replacing an entire car because one tire is flat...
Can anyone help?
God bless

Multiple errors OE
To make a long story short, I switched back from Thunderbird to OE; fewer
log-in problems. I also had to chnage file associations form Thunderbird
.eml files to those files associated with OE. I am not sure if this is the
source of the problems, but I got a message from ISP that there were new
newsgroups. I was looking through the list and chose a group I wanted to add
and got a message that OE encountered a problem and had to close.
"Hanging app was msimn.exe"
Then, a Dr. Watson PostMortem Debugger failure message.
Then there was the Fault Bucket message 45257867
I tried the same thing over again and got the same error messages. I can't
add any newsgroups without OE crashing.
I have had log in problems with ISP. Only recognizes my user ID and password
75% of the time via email client and 100% of the time using webmail. Perhaps
there's corruption somewhere. Can someone give me a hand to get started to
correct these issues. I can get mail and I can get and read Usenet messages
without difficulty.
I have WinXP SP2, all up to date, AVAST, Spybot S&D, Ad-aware, Comodo
Firewall and Super-Anti-Spyware. My guts tell me there's no easy fix and
there is pain ahead. Thanks.

WHY is this happening???????? address book issue
I have three address book entries (among others)
THOMPSON, DARRYL
THOMPSON, DEBBIE
DECOTIS, DARRYLL
the spellings are EXACT.
If I address an email to THOMPSON, DARRYL Outlook Express sends it to
THOMPSON, DEBBIE;DECOTIS, DARRYLL
It doesn't matter if I type THOMPSON or select it from the address
book
It shows me THOMPSON, DARRYL in the To line but sends it as above.
It also doesn't even ask me to chose one.

Some mail opens a blank page
Have XP Home Professional Office. Most email is received fine, but some have
started to open as a blank page. The only thing on the page is the PC Tools
virus check confirmation.
No virus found in this incoming message
Checked by PC Tools AntiVirus (4.0.0.25 - 10.065.009).
http://www.pctools.com/free-antivirus/
If there is an attachment, same result. Double clicking on attachment
(under subject) opens NotePad with the PC Tools virus check confirmation.
I used Norton Antivirus fine, but it expired in Feb and I installed CA
Security for protection as it came free with Road Runner (Time/Warner)
broadband connection that I have used for years. I also added PC Tools 1.5
and Spybot. I've uninstalled the last two programs, but nothing changed.
The cookies under IE Explorer are set low as always.
I don't get any error or blocking messages, just an empty white page with
the PC Tools message at the bottom. The email that comes through fine has
the same PC Tools message. Soome could be a friend that messed up on sending
mail, but the CNET newsletters are hit and miss.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Outlook Express 6, Compaction Errors
I did all that was idicated and advised in post but still have OE Folders
as .bak files, all
remaining in my Recycle Bin. Although opening new folders where necessary
in OE, no emails appear in the new folders when opening OE.
I did notice a discrepancy in the Store Folder name:
a. In OE>Tools>Options>Maint it shows the location of the store as
380493AA-D26E-4F11-968F6EA19CD3F4F5
But in the Windows Explorer directory the Store Folder is shown as:
b. C:\Docs & Settings\David\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\
as {380493AA-D26E-4F11-968F-6EA19CD3F4F5}
i.e. after the 968F there is a "-" in Para b. Which one is correct?
Should I change anything? The file listed in Par a. cannot be found after
Search in My Computer!
I noticed in an earlier thread, Ron Sommer mentioned "that a new Identity is
needed" ? Is it possible to search for and delete all previous identities,
open a new identity and move the .bak folders from the Recycle Bin into OE?
This would surely clean the system out and start from scratch?
I have Outlook installed but do not use it as there are more bells and
whistles than I need, but is it less prone to compacting errors.
Thanks, brett.

OE 6.0: Why it collapses personal folders on startup?
Okay, I am desperate here. I have been searching for a very long time. This
forum seems to be official from Microsoft. I hope you will help me.
I am using Outlook Express 6.0, and I have personal folders as children of
Inbox folder, if you know what I mean (you press "+" on the left and they
expand). OE drives me crazy by collapsing my personal folders on startup. So
when I close the program with folders expanded, the next time I start it,
they will be collapsed, and I have to expand them again and again.
Is there any way to tell OE to leave my folders expanded? May be some
registry tweaks?
Thank you VERY much. Tag: la posta Tag: 359154
Fonts in OE6 query
My cousin has a PC running XP HE SP2, and OE6.
She installed some new TrueType fonts into the 'Fonts' folder, as she wanted
to be able to compose emails using these - these worked fine, appearing in
the drop down list in OE, until she ran 'disk clean up' on the PC. The fonts
she previously installed have since disappeared from the drop down bar and
will now not`reinstall into the Fonts folder.
Is there a way of fixing it this? Why would disk clean up remove them
anyway?
Thanks for any help regarding this.

addresses. I get Error Message 550 whenever I try to send a mail using these

No email message....
I performed a 'Find' on the inbox searching for a key word in the message.
OE6 came back with an error message saying, "Outlook Express encountered an
unexpected problem while displaying this message. Check your computer for
low memory or low disk space and try again".
Then I looked at the inbox, searching for the same message under the
date/time and same folder that the Find message had reported and there was
NO email message from that person there!!
I'm running XP Pro, OE6, dual core Intel processor and have about 2 GB
memory.
What's going on?
