  • 2. Computer almost freezes when Outlook is sending email
    Hello there, I'm on Win98, using OE6, and all was fine until recently (15 days), when clicking click send to send out a composed email, everything just hangs on the PC. If Winamp is on, the music stops, after sounding like a breaking record that is.... In short, everything gets JERKY. Then once the message is completely sent, it's back to normal. All else is OE is working perfectly well ! I use AVG AntiVirus, but Email protecttion is completely disabled.... Hope to get something that will resolve this. Thank you !
  • 3. OE6/IE6 Script errors - Please help
    Each time OE 6 is opened, a script error appears saying "An error has occurred on the script of the page. Object does not support this property or method. res: //\c:\program files\outlook express\msoeres.dll /frntpage.htm Do you want to continue scripts on this page?" Selecting yes or no continues into OE6 and e-mails can be sent and received. Once OE6 is opened and minimized, this message does not appear. Problem started after arriving in Florida when Bellsouth internet was connected and setup.
  • 4. OE - "current identity could not be changed"
    I cannot accesss my main identity. I cannot access the properties for "main identity" (grayed out). The message "current identity could not be changed because one of the applications was unable to switch. Close any open dialogue boxes in other applications before trying again. I have nothing else running but XP and OE. Any thoughts? Thanks, BertG

Mail store folder not changed to shared drive

Postby Nikki » Tue, 04 May 2004 17:24:03 GMT

I have a small XP network - effectively 3 PCs connected 
together.

All 3 PCs have Outlook Express v6.  Due to the location 
of the PCs, a user will log on to whichever PC is closest 
to them at the time, with the intention of checking their 
email etc.

The problem is that on PC1 I have created a shared 
directory to contain each users email store so that they 
see exactly the same email regardless of which PC they 
logon to.

On PC2 I have then attempted to change the mail store to 
that networked area. Outlook Express accepts this 
directory and tells you to exit for it to be permanent, 
but when I go back in it has defaulted back to the local 
area, an not the area on the other networked PC (PC1).

If I set the new mail store to somewhere locally on the 
PC then this works fine, but not if it is to a networked 
area.

Is it possible to have a central storage area for mail 
across a network, without having a dedicated Exchange 
server?

3.ISP incomming mail is not distributed to users but stored in Failed mail folder

Hi,

I cannot get incoming mail from my ISP to the correct users within exchange. 
Outgoing mail is delivered correctly and incoming mail is retrieved from my 
ISP to my SBS. Mail is initially stored in pop3/incoming mail and thereafter 
stored in pop3/failed mail.
I have tried both standard routing via the pop3 connector manager and a 
modified routing via pop3 connector manager

Thanx



4.Share E-mail Store Folder

I have a two unit ethernet network in my home running peer 
to peer with a crossover cable, both running Windows XP 
Home. I am trying to set outlook express up on both 
machines so that they share the e-mail store folder but 
the system won't let me. I have changed the sharing rules 
on all folders and it still won't work. Any suggestions?

5.need help changing Store Folder to network share

I have WinME running in Virtual PC on an XP machine. I'd like to have both 
instances of OE share a single Message Store Folder. From what I gather, the 
only connection between Guest and Host OS is though a network share. For 
example, if I want to copy or move files from WinME to XP, I just drag them 
to the appropriate XP folder via  network share.

If someone has experience with setting up a common OE Store Folder over a 
network, I'd appreciate your help because it's not working as expected. 
Here's what I did: 

I created a network share for the XP/OE Store Folder and then changed the 
WinME Store Folder to point to it. Although the WinME OE seems happy with the 
network Store Folder, my existing messages and folders don't show up. With 
all OE's quirks, this didn't surprise me and I figure there's probably a 
simple fix. 

To troubleshoot, I created a new folder "test" in the WinME OE and put a 
message in the folder. For reasons I can't fathom, text.dbx doesn't show up 
in the XP Store Folder. I searched both drives for test.dbx and it doesn't 
seem to exist anywhere!!  Explorer Search is set to find hidden files, and I 
even un-hid the folders just to make sure. 

Further testing showed I can assign the Store Folder to a location on the 
virtual machine and all the .dbx files are visible in the new location 
including text.dbx. But when I change the Store Folder back to the XP Store 
Folder via network share, test.dbx remains invisible.

I know a common Store Folder can be implemented in a dual-boot scenario, but 
in that case, a network share is not required. So I'm not sure if my problem 
is related to using a network share, or somehow related to how virtual 
machines work.

Can anyone explain this behavior, or otherwise tell me how to use a common 
Store Folder for both machines?

Thanks
David
