Does anyone know how to put Outlook Express emails over to Outlook so they can be backed up to CD?
nm

Yes, Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express are different programs
One of my jobs required me to switch from Outlook Express to Microsoft Outlook. It took a little while to get used to, but now I love it. If I keep Outlook open but minimized, new emails pop up on my desktop (you can set how long it stays there) so I know if it is important, like a new voice file, or just spam or something that can wait until later. You can even reply to the email from your desktop without ever opening Outlook. Pretty cool.

I'm using Outlook and Outlook Express and I've realized
that Outlook (my personal email account through comcast) is not pulling email from server. I can't even get to the Comcast homepage to try to get my email that way. However, my Outlook Express is set up just for my work email... different server, different ports. That's working just fine. Comcast has been changing ports in recent months, and I bet they did something that messed everything up. I hate to go to the techs there. They'll want me to change settings, and then I'll have a mess on my end, too.

Grrrrr. I just want my email and want to be able to get to some key websites that I use. Other websites are completely trouble-free, though. I've never seen this happen before.

Attach the file in mail.
and send it to webmaster@mtstars.com for verification.

Thanks,

MQ Outlook Express e-mail
Do you suppose they gave up on that new system??

My Norton or my Outlook Express? (sm)
For some reason, for the last 2 or 3 days, when I am sending an email, that little Norton box that pops up is taking a long time to appear, like maybe about 15 seconds or so. It used to be as soon as I hit "send." Is this a problem with my email or my Norton? and is it a big deal? Just wondering why the change. Thanks

How do I get Outlook Express to put up Yahoo

I would like to know what how to set up my Outlook Express to received email from my Yahoo email address so that I can download multiple attachments at once instead of clicking on each individual attachment. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

I just use Outlook Express, so my emails - sm
our stored on my computer (40GB), so in my case it is not an issue. If the OP sends her emails the same, then she can easily save the work emails unless she has a very old computer with no substantial hard drive.

Yes, I understand all that, but in Outlook Express - sm
you have a sent folder. After you send an email it goes into the SENT folder in your "Local Folder". I explained how she can find the emails she sent (if she uses this method)--by clicking on the "To" tab at the top the emails sort by who they were sent to, makes it real easy to find what you were looking for for that particular person--even if she has to send them one at at time (and group them by Shift-arrow; hit forward and send them to MTSO) it would simplify things for her; and there is no "quota" except for what your computer can hold. --I have all my email (minus junk of course) from 2002 without any issues--sent and received. She may not know that she can just hit the "to" tab and have it group all the emails she had sent to that person-- you can also group by subject, date, etc.

Yahoo/Outlook Express
If I understand correctly, you have a Yahoo account and an Outlook Express account set up. The reason I am asking is I have Outlook Express, and it was suggested to me that I switch to Yahoo as there are some functions that I cannot do in Outlook Express. I have not switched over to Yahoo yet as I am not sure about the storage space, download/upload storage, etc. is on both to compare. If you have any further information that could help me in deciding, I hope you will share with me. TAA

Do you use Outlook Express for your email?

If so, go to "Tools", then "Options", then click the "Connection" tab. Then click the "Change" button so you can view your current settings and correct them if necessary.

Good luck!

In outlook express you can ask for one. that doesn't mean the recipent sm
well check the box to send a receipt. I never do, and resent them tremendously.

Outlook express problem solved - sm

Had a problem deleting a huge outgoing email. Posted here and many good suggestions came in. However, when I Googled I found www.ITtoolbox, a place to go for technical help.

I was able to finally delete that pesky outgoing email of mine with their help. You may want to keep this site in mind for help if ever you need to.

Thank you all.

Cannot send/receive mail in Outlook Express

I am able to connect fine to my dial-up ISP. I have not been able to receive/send any E-mail from Outlook Express today at all. I can receive the mail from that account through my Yahoo web site and am able to go to what is callled Mailstorm, through my ISP, where junk mail is filtered and so everything works fine that way. Any ideas on what the problem could be?

I have contacted my ISP via E-mail but have not received a response yet so that makes me wonder if there is not an issue on their end.

Any suggestions would certainly be appreciated.

Outlook express 2003 email problem

I have a large email in my outbox that will not transmit and I cannot cancel it. It contains pictures from my digital camera.

Embarq could not help, Microsoft wants $49.00 up front to help.

Has anyone had a similar problem and know how to fix it?

Thank you.

I have email on both Comcast and Outlook Express and wondering

if I can go just to Outlook Express with what follows: I opened up Outlook Express yesterday and it said do you want the email to default to Outlook. I did not enter an answer but I was wondering, would it be that simple to where I did not have to change password and everything else, just say I wanted to default and where it comes in on the Comcast now it would just default over? Anyone know? Thanks.

You can only have one Outlook Express open and downloading emails at a time. If have both the SM

laptop and the PC trying to download email for the same address, you are going to have one downloading some and the other downloading whatever comes in after the first computer downloads, make sense? That's why you are only getting part of your email on one and part on the other. You have two different machines trying to download the same emails.

If you set both Outlook Express programs set up the exact same way on each computer, then both will work, but not at the same time.

Hope that makes sense.

attach a letter to your next invoice sm
Outline the reasons for your rate increase -- make sure they are BUSINESS reasons, not personal ones (I need to buy new shoes for my babies). Cite rising fuel costs if you pick up and deliver, cost of living increase, stuff like that. Tell them it will be effective something like invoice after next (depending on how often you invoice -- you just need to give them a reasonable amount of time to decide what they want to do) if you do not hear from them otherwise.

Now is a good time to look at your overall rate structure. Should you be charging them for things other than a flat rate per line? Trip charges? STAT charges? Waiting time charges? Clerical work, like digging up old reports that they lost?

If you think they might pull the ole "we never received that letter" trick, then send it to them certified mail or hand deliver it to whoever it needs to go to.

I mean the post below regarding MQ being sold. I have tried to attach link.

I do, but attach a full size keyboard
No message.

No. You have to attach a full size keyboard

Is that the MS keyboard wtih the riser you can attach?
It gives you a negative wrist tilt? I saw one at Office Depot and I wanted it so badly I could taste it. I test drove it there and fell in love with the touch. It is about $60?

Next paycheck, I am going to treat myself to that keyboard. I have no more numbers or letters on mine, and it does not auto cap anymore. DH says use mine. But it is one of those tiny, little rectangular ones. I have fat fingers and cannot type on them. LOL

Help..I lost my word file. How can I retreive a file that has been changed? sm

I was working on a large file and had saved it in Word. I then went back to work on the file and hit a key that made the page go blank. When I went to close the document it asked me to save any changes on the document. I answered yes, and now when I click on that document it is all blank! Shouldnt the previous info saved be there, even if the current stuff is not? Please help me!! Thank you

Depends on the file format of the Short Cuts file.
ShortHand comes with a utility file that can import various formats. You can get that file with the trial download of SH.

...with your user.aco file. Save your autocorrect file to somewhere else. nm

You can save the SH file in a text file and import to IT that way. sm
You may have to do some cleanup in the SH text file, but it sure would be faster than re-entering them all manually.

File taxes under the name on file w Social Security....
Name on W2 doesn't have to match, but your tax return has to match SS records. They don't want your marriage license or anything else. Did that for 13 years as instructed by IRS. Didn't have to change it with SS until state changed rules requiring drivers license to match SS records. Still use my maiden name in some limited circumstances.

You have to set up Outlook to do what you think I don't know what
Some versions of Outlook do not have this feature. Mine does. It is located under advanced mail options, tracking. Please do not assume others don't know what they are talking about unless you wrote the program.

Outlook will can this.
Use the calendar option to record your upcoming appointments, etc. With the folders window open, click on Personal Folders and it will show all your appointments for the week as well as tasks and the number of unread email messages. I believe you can change the default either in options or by just closing Outlook with the Personal Folders view and it will reopen in that view. This works VERY well for me!

I don't know about outlook, but on my ISP

I have filters that I can set so that if I get an e-mail with "Viagra" in the subject line it will automatically be deleted. Then they started sending e-mails with odd spellings. I also block senders. Usually they only send once from a particular e-mail address so you won't get another one from that address, though occasionally you will.

There is a program called MailWasher Pro that is pretty good. I used it as a trial, don't know if they have a free version.

Job Outlook?
I worked for Focus Infomatics based in Woburn, MA. Started with them after MT school. They were good, but I was getting paychecks for literally $8.00 because there was NO work. I worked on accounts like MD Anderson Cancer Center...and no work. I switched to Medquist last September and now may find myself without a job because everything seems to be going to India. I checked out Spheris today and they have their corporate HQ in Franklin, TN, but they have 3 HQs in India as well. Not sure if the Americans will eventually lose the work. They are hiring from their website ad today, but not sure if I want to be burned for a third time. Good luck!

What a SICK outlook! Why would she need to...

"suck up," as you so graciously put it??? She likes the software. She said so. Why would you think you are in a position to judge HER?????

Perhaps you have done some sucking up yourself, so you are thinking EVERYONE is not sincere with a compliment???? Not everyone is as transparent as you are. Do you feel better when you slam someone when you think they might be exhibiting a trait you possess??? Counseling may help you.

Outlook question. Not sure what
version this is, but it's not express. When I write a long email, I like it in letter form with paragraphs and double spaced between paragraphs. However, when I actually send it, it arrives looking, well, "chopped up", not in the paragraphs I inserted. All the text is there, but it looks wrong. Anyone know how to fix this? TIA

Outlook E-mail
Hi. If you go to Yahoo and go into the main mail screen there. You should be able to click on "options." Next look for POP mail. Here they should give you step by step instructions on how to set it up. It has been a while, but this is how I set mine up. I hope this helps. Good luck!!!

Has the job outlook improved any?

Hey, all. I have been out of touch for a few months, getting some personal stuff out of the way, and have not been keeping up with the job market. Now that I am ready to start looking again, I was curious about how the conditions are right now. I was just wondering if it had improved any since, say January? Is the economy starting to come back as it pertains to MT'ing?

Thanks in advance.

I also use Outlook 2003 with Office, but
your email comes through your ISP into outlook, and your ISP has a storage quota. unless you *save* your emails to your hard drive, mine...two 80GB hard drives, they are not stored on your computer. If you keep them in your email files, your email storage has a quota. by the wording of her email, it sounds like she DID save these files to her hard drive, and that was why it took her so long to find them, put them in email, and return them.

yes. outlook 2003 has a sent folder also, but--sm
it is all added in to the quota email set by ISP. sent folder, inbox folder, local folder whatever, it is all a part of the ISP quota for email capacity. I use Time Warner Cable Roadrunner and even with biz class, capacity for email storage, sent, inbox, etc. is 256mb. that is all I am saying about this. I don't want to start a flaming argument..

I love your outlook, Brandi..

Thanks, you made my day.

e-mail and outlook - comcast
You should be able to do exactly what you are saying. I don't know the exact steps, but you should be able to use outlook as I do this and have atlantic broadband as an ISP. I don't like using the ISP home page, I prefer Outlook... it should work.
