Outlook Express

[Guest]

Since I upgraded my Windows XP, I now have unwanted Outlook Express. I can no longer view my attachments. Each one says "OE removed access to the following unsafe attachments in your attachments in your mail."

How can I rid myself of Outlook Express. I have another e-mail provider which was primary.

You simply need to adjust the security settings in Outlook Express and then
you can view attachments.

Hi

With OE open - go to Tools>Options>Security and uncheck 'Do not allow
attachments to be saved...'. If you do uncheck this option, please virus
all attachments before opening.

Outlook Express' default security settings are simply trying to
protect you. OE has no way of telling whether an attachment actually
contains a virus or not, so it temporarily blocks any of those file
types that could potentially contain a virus. In Outlook Express,
Tools > Options > Security, uncheck the "Do not allow attachments to
be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" option, assuming
you trust the source, of course. The wiser course of action, however,
would be to modify your list of unsafe files, as outlined in the KB
articles below:

I cannot delete a sent email. I have checked for a virus and it says none
but whenever I click on the email Outlook goes into "Not Responding" mode.
How can I get rid of this sent email. Thank you
