I can't seam to get outlook express to automatically download my email when I
get a new massage. I checked my settings and everything seams fine. Any ideas?

If you don't get a good answer here be sure to ask in the
microsoft.public.outlook.general newsgroup. This ng is more about the
operating system than it is applications that run on it. You will get more
expert answers in an Outlook group.

Try setting the synchronization settings to all messages, and in options,
'send and receive messages..' should be enabled.

Nope - you will get thoroughly yelled at for posting OE questions in an
Outlook newsgroup. They are not the same thing at all. Outlook is part of
Office. OE is part of Internet Explorer & Windows.

Try microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress

If this group isn't carried on the news server that's carrying this one, try
using news.microsoft.com as your NNTP server.

A good website for information on OE is http://www.insideoe.com/

Hi - Hi - unfortunately, you're in the wrong newsgroup. This is a group for
Windows XP issues. Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and has
its own groups. You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you
post this to an Outlook Express news group.

Try microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress

Either find a new masseuse or tailor.

Sorry, I misread the subject line.

"Lanwench [MVP - Exchange]"

Either find a new masseuse or tailor.

Just my personal opinion. Outlook Express is better known as Outhouse
Depressed. If you have Microsoft Office on your computer, try MS
Outlook as your email handler. It's is not the worst and is certainly
better than "Outhouse Express" any day of the week.
Peace,
Joanne

And these settings are?

Is Send & Receive Messages at startup checked?

Is Check for messages every X minutes checked?

How do you know you have a message to be downloaded?

Well, Bruce, I do not know who "Alias" is, but I assure you that this
is based on personal experience as stated in my reply. I am Canadian,
and we usually think for ourselves unlike our neighbours to the south,
that have a tendency to be lemmings. Please take the time to answer
people in need rather than looking for an argument. I have better
things to do than explain my post to you. Good luck with your
"trolling anger" and need to be heard. Did your Mother not hug you
enough? Try to have an original thought, if that is even possible.

I only equated you with Alias, because like him, your solution was to
abandon OE rather than offer a fix for OE.

Here's an idea: ask in a group with OE in the title. Notice this
group LACKS that.

Ask elsewhere

I like strawberries.

 

[kookieman]

Get off your 420 before you can give an opinion that can be taken seriously.
OE has worked for me (and undoubtedly for many more) for close to 10 years
now. And yeah, I've used Outlook. The way it freezes up while downloading
mail is fantastic! I worked with Outlook at my university job too, for many
hours. It crashed at least 5 times in 3 hours.

I am also Canadian and fortunately I still give my Mom hugs but I very strongly have to disagree with you on your views concerning our neighbors whom are just the same as you and me

That's a great way to make new friends. If you want to be taken seriously in
these groups, I suggest you cool the attitude & the nonsequitur jingoism,
and learn to play nicely with the other kids.

 

[Brian S]

Thanks Bruce, the reason that I know that I have mail is because when I frist
open outlook to check there is nothing in my inbox. I have to go to send/rec.
and click on my email add. and then they download. I have all the settings
you asked about checked and still nothing.I didn't have this problem until I
got a new email add and set up the new account. I set the new account up
exactly the seme as far as settings go. I stumped any new ideas?

Is Send & Receive Messages at startup checked?

Is Check for messages every X minutes checked?

How do you know you have a message to be downloaded?

 

[Bruce Hagen]

So, Send & Receive at startup is checked, but you get nothing. However, when
you click Send/Receive you /do/ receive mail?

You may have a damaged identity especially if it is the default Main
Identity. File | Identity | Add New Identity. Create a new one and test it.
If all is well, you can import your messages and Address Book from the old
identity and delete it.
