I subscribe to a stand alone News Server and frequently, when I take too
long reading posts, the server disconnects. I remember that in the olden
Modem days I had an "Inactivity Pinger" which just sent out data bits at
configurable intervals, thus resetting the inactivity timer on the other
end.
Don't remember the name of it and I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion
for one

Re my orginal post about outlook express only printing the down to
subject line and the rest it does not print any of the body of the
message. Tonight I found that IE explore on a web site with print
preview only shows the top and bottom and the rest is blank. No
prpblems with Firefox or Chome. Also Thunderbird work fine. Sure would
like to know what caused the printing problems in these

Outlook Express. Windows XP. After linking a laptop to my computer, the Spam
function, as shown as a shortcut on my desktop, when opened for checking,
produced a rapidly flashing screen. I had no means of checking my Spam,
although it appeared to be still functioning as very few spam mailings were
getting through. I could find no program associated with the spam function,
so I installed

Hello,
I am very worried, because after I compacted all folders I note that email from Inbox a big number of them from may 2011 until today was disappeared.
Before that I was done all your instruction for Sent Items.dbx
, because Sent Items has become corrupt, instruction from Bruce Hagen 2008.
I didn't cancel or do nothing regarding Inbox items.
There is a solutions for my problem?

Hey there,
Just yesterday, it seems emails are being sent from my email address
that say
RSET
QUIT
about once every 1-5 minutes. They do not show up in my sent folder,
but people are reporting getting them.
Any ideas?

Someone suggested using outlook for my emails. I have 2003 and
arranged my verizon account to link to it. All my emails initially
went in there yesterday (hundreds). When I opened it today it is
empty. There is no file in recycle bin and all other previous
suggestions do not seem to help. I run Vista w/SP2 installed. Thanks
for any help!

Hi, I am trying to set up a message rule where messages to a certain person
should be moved into a specified folder, but OE will not allow me to select
"Inbox" as the specified folder (the "OK" button is grayed out for "Inbox",
"Outbox", and "Sent Items".
Is there any way I can get messages to a certain person to be placed into
the Inbox?

Problem is not solved. I applied the following method,
To resolve this behavior, rename the affected .mbx file, and then restart Outlook Express:
Click Start, point to Find, and then click Files or Folders.
In the Named box, type Inbox.mbx or Inbox.dbx.
In the Look in box, click your primary hard disk (usually drive C), and then click Find Now.
Right-click the Inbox.mbx file that appears

it's not supposed to, like the original text to the right of the black line

I normally can create a file link in an email by typing as follows:
<file://i:\document folder\helpinstructions.doc>
How can modify that so that the blue underlined link appears as
HELP
to the email reader, but still takes the user to the I-drive document
when they click on it?
Thanks,

Why is it that occasionally, when checking for new email, a box comes up
requesting a password (which is already filled in). It has happened to me a
number of times in the past and today it happened on my wife's computer, for
which I have been nagged all day! Usually this goes away if the OK option is
selected.

Even better, no export, just import.

What is that telling me about that NG?

Therefore it would be nice if Windows Live Mail could access populair web

Then I can post from within outlook express so my messages get stored in
storage folders.
Just like hotmail can be accessed with windows live

How Do I Re-locate OE mailboxes?
I tried Options>Tools>Maintenance>Store Folder>folder location, and
used it to get access to all the .dbx files, which I then copied to my
new location. Then I changed the path in OE's folder location to my
new location. Then I tried a send to myself. It seemed to send okay,
and Windows Explorer clearly shows the modify date for the .dbx file

if the reply went to the Drafts folder before being sent.
This is not the end of Western Civilization as we know it, but I guess I'll
have to do further checking to verify if I replied to a given message.

When I log on am advised I have say 2 unread mail messages...and sure enough
in the Inbox are two unread messages.
However I have a few message rules set up that moves incoming messages to
various subfolders...so the say 20 unread messages are shown scattered
around in the list of appropriate sub folders.
Any way I can be advised I have say 22 unread messages when I log on?

I decided to block a sender in one of the newsgroups, but the person
continued to show up even after I exited Outlook Express and reopened it. I
then put that sender into my Message Rules killfile, and that got rid of the
current post (and presumably all others as well).
So...my question is: Why did the person's posts continue to show up after I
used Block Sender?
