i recently revceived an email that stated: OE removed
access to the follwoing unsafe attachments. the
attachments are very safe. how do i undo this. i need to
get into the files.
Have you yet checked the options with OE? Like the security options?
When an attachment gets marked to remove access, it still exists in your
mailbox or local information store (.pst file). It's just that Outlook
won't let you get at it. Even after you change the security option, you
still won't be able to get at the attachment because it was previously
marked for access denied. I don't believe even forwarding that message to
yourself to exercise the newly changed security option will allow you to get
the attachment. You will have to ask the sender to resend an e-mail with
that attachment. They probably still have a copy in their Sent Items
folder.
Note that you are asking in the wrong newsgroup. Outlook Express is a
component of Internet Explorer. Outlook is a PIM (personal information
manager) and a component of Microsoft's Office suite. Outlook Express
(which is only e-mail and newsgroups) is geared toward a different user
community (home users) than is Outlook (business users). They are not the
same product, they are not code derivatives or siblings of each other, they
are not a lite and full version of the same product, so don't confuse the
two as being associated with each other. Remember that Outlook Express used
to be called Internet Mail & News. It was unfortunate that Microsoft
decided to rename it to Outlook Express. Outlook and Outlook Express are no
more related than are Word and WordPerfect which also share a common word in
their name and despite that they perform some similar features.
