  • 1. Latency Time / Microsoft
    Of late - the last few days - OE seems to be taking and incredible time to "hook" to the server, particularly toward the afternoon hours. We receive a number of "server did not understand request" message, yet all our other e-mail accounts appear fine. Is this only our experience. We're on high-speed and our SP is getting complaints along the same line. Any thoughts, are there adjustments we need to make to our programming?
  • 2. explorer/outlook close when connected to internet
    Outlook express 6 and internet explorer 6 both give an error in (unknown) and close when either connect to the internet. Everthing else not connected with the internet is fine. o/s is windows ME which I tried installing over the top but Outlook/exolrer didn't seem to re-install. Any ideas? Thanks.
  • 3. Upg Mainbd - Now I get errors sending mail
    Win2K System, all updates - Upgraded mainboard from 850E Chipset to 865PE Chipset, fought and defeated "STOP - INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE" error (had to reinstall and repatch Win2K). Now, when I try to send an e-mail in OE6, the mail sends, but never leaves the outbox, and eventually I get a timeout on my SMTP server - I have 2 identities and both do this. Tried: Uninstalling OE, reinstalling it, and repatching. Deleting Outbox file. New Identity. R&R Network drivers. Can't seem to shake this - it's a minor annoyance, since the mail does go through, but I have to stop and delete any sent mail from outbox folder (In outlook express) before I can send/receive again. Only other difference I can think of is the old mainboard had a 3Com 3C905-TXNM 10/100 Network card, and this mainboard has a 3Com 3C940 Gigabit built-in network interface. Haven't really had any other networking problems, and noone else on the network has trouble.
  • 4. Importing Store Folder from CD
    I have just spent some time trying to come up with a good backup and restore system for OE6 and XP. I copied the .dbx files to CD, but when I tried to re import them, I kept getting a message saying it could not find any messages. I believe that CD files have a read only attribute, but why should this affect the "import" process - surely nothing is being written to the CD at this time of importing? Laura TD

I continue to get E-Mail attachments with the file extension .email which are
images but they open to text jibberish on my Win 98SE system. Does anyone
know what it takes to open a .email  file extension message?

I don't follow your process. If I click on the E-Mail attachment I get
the choice to open or save. I do not find where I can do as you
describe. Please expand your answer.

I did what you said and now it will do nothing at all. Will not even
open to jibberish.

Please describe the steps you took, Bob.

Was the .email attachment from an AOL subscriber?

.dbx is the file.

Tools>Options>Maintenance>Store folder will reveal the location
of your Outlook Express files. Press the Tab key to highlight the 
folder location, then Ctrl+C. Close OE, then Start>Run>Ctrl+V will 
put the location in the box - Click OK and you'll see the OE files. 
Otherwise, write the location down and navigate to it in Windows 
Explorer.

In WindowsXP & 2K, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default
marked as hidden. To view these files in Explorer, you must enable
Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start>Control Panel>Folder
Options>View.

1.Shell Extensions for File Names with No File Extension

2.displaying the file extension when attaching .msg files 

Hi,
I have a problem with Outlook 2003.

When attaching a document to an email (i.e. a doc file ), the whole
extension is shown in the top line of the mail ("docname.doc"). This works
with all kind of dokcuments except a .msg file. Attaching a .msg file only
the document name ist shown in the top of mail (only "fielename").
When trying this out by using Outlook Express (6), there the extension is
put behind the mailname completely.

You may think, that this is unimportant but for me this is vitally
important. Because I can import files from a email message to a document
library on Windows Sharepoint Services. But this only works, if the file
extension is shown on a attachment. An as I want to save mails and not only
word or pdf documents I need this extension.

Do anyone have an idea how to change this setting to get the file extension
also for .msg files?

Please let me know!

3.Contact File Extensions - Can't Find Contacts Backup File to Import 

I had some electrical work done on my laptop at CompUSA. I had them perform a full backup of everything on the computer before performing the work. When I received the laptop back, I had an "Olddata" folder on my desktop which took me to all my old files. I was able to find and import a .pst file into outlook, but could not locate my contacts file that contained all of my Outlook 2000 contacts. Does anyone know what file extension I should be looking for? Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi,

I'm trying to trim the extension from a file name. I have been able to get
