reading e-mails from abroad

[Guest]

I am on BT Broadband. When I try to access my emails from abroad, I only get
my BT Yahoo 'spam' box and not all my messages and address book which is on
outlook express. Is there a tick box somewhere I should be applying. Thanks
for any help in advance.

What did BT Broadband tell you when you contacted them about your
problem with their email service?

Hi, I have sent a question to BT Yahoo and am waiting for their reply. I
thought I would try this helpgroup to see if it was something really simple.
When I was abroad last year I accessed my BT Yahoo mail but only had the
'spam' and not my O/E inbox. However last week I was in Dubai and on my
friends laptop, I could see ALL my mail. I thought this was great , but when
I tried to do it at home, it doesn't work. This is why I think there may be a
tools/options tickbox somewhere that I need to tick.Before going onto
broadband I was with freeserve and accessing my mail was not a problem from a
remote site. My computer skills are still in the beginner stage I am afraid,
so be gentle with me.

hi
if you want to access emails in your outlook express you need to contact
your ISP and ask them how to do it
here in canada i was with telus ISP so i had to go to the telus website and
type in my username and password and only then i was allowed to read "new"
emails waiting on the server.
now i'm with shaw ISP and it's the same way. i have to go to the shaw
website and click on webmail and access new mail only.
outlook express is not "web-based" so it is different than any hotmail or
yahoo mail.

it's like having a cell phone and a landline kind of

does that make sense ?

Here is your first real step upgrading your computer skills.

Google doesn't bite:

http://www.google.com/search?&q=BT+Yahoo+Outlook+Express

See the four words I used for the search?

BT
Yahoo
Outlook
Express

And then check out the results when you use the link. You might want to
add a Bookmark in your web browser for your ISP, once you are done with
setting up you email in OE.

THANKS....................................it now works

This was my reply from bt yahoo.....................................

Steps are for Outlook Express 5/6:

Open 'Outlook Express' mail client.

Click on 'Tools' and select 'Accounts' tab from it.

The 'Internet Accounts' window will pop up.

Click on 'Mail' tab and from the list of accounts (only if you have more
than one account); highlight the 'mail.btinternet.com' account and click on
'Properties' icon.

The 'Properties' tab will pop up.

Click on the 'Advanced' tab.

Under 'Delivery' field, place a tick in 'Leave a copy of messages on server'
check box.

Click on 'Apply' and 'OK' to save your settings and then select 'Close' to
return to Outlook Express.

Once the above steps have been accomplished, you can access emails on the BT
Yahoo! mail server (web mail) as well as Outlook Express.
