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.

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

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.
Outlook Express does.

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.

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.
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.
Open Outlook and type in the address box: sm.
mail.medquistmail.com and press Go or Enter. Anyway, it will take you to the correct page. If you have signed up for Imail, you should have problem; however, there is a tutorial available through QNet. It has been slow going, but I hopeful that they will increase the response time. I have been able to send and receive messages with no problem, just slow, which is extremely frustrating. As well, I have been able to send messages to various people at MedQuist via Outlook. Hope this helps.
I thought I was the only one who used Outlook for personal reasons.
Outlook Encryption satisfies HIPAA
(Disclaimer: this is posted by Vann Joe, the publisher of MPWord, MPLite, and MPTools.)
Yes, the encryption built into Outlook would comply with HIPAA.
I note a user has suggested MPLite ($54). If you want to continue working in MS Word, adding MPLite to your work environment will save you much time both in generating the documents and in invoicing. http://www.mpword.com/7mplite.htm
MPWord adds these functions to what you get in MPLite: medical spell check, abbreviation expansion, encryption, zip, unzip, email, fax, ftp.
All our software is available for download and trial. You see, we don't want anyone's money, till you try the software out, finds it meets your needs, and absolutely love the time it saves you.

Word Expander Programs - Are there any expander programs that are easy to use and learn
that are similar to the MS Word expander? I prefer something very simple. I like MS Word expander; however I have gone over my limits and cannot add any more shortcuts so I need a program that will hold a larger amount of shortcuts. Many thanks.
MT programs
The top 3 MT programs are Andrews, M-Tec and Career Step. Have not read any complaints about Andrews or M-TEC. Graduates from those two schools have a much better chance of getting hired at home without 2 years of experience.
MT programs
I found a new company online called MT2B. It appears that if you successfully complete their school they will offer you a job at their company. Some of the MT courses out there are hard to follow and do not teach you all that you need to know when you first begin job hunting. I know this from tutoring and mentoring new MTs for the past 9 years. This school seems to teach in a more hands on manner from what I understand. Might want to give them a try. I found them at www.MT2b.com.
This jobs does have a lot of ups and downs. I have been in this business for 12 years and I wouldnt trade it for anything. It has allowed me to take care of my son who has health problems and be at home. I have made good money and not so much money. I see it as...it has its problems just like any other job at home or not at home. Just have to hang in there and find the place of employment that fits you best as an individual. There are still some good companies out there. Just have to find them.
Good luck to you
FAX PROGRAMS
I use the Winfax program. Works great. You fax reports right from your computerr rather than printing and then faxing. Saves time, paper, and ink. Receive faxes directly to your computer as well which can be sent to your printer.
the programs
Are set up in such a way, that they know who their star players are, who their B players are, and who are the problem children. Sounds like he just wanted to buy a new boat and didn't want to have to get a loan first.
programs? SM please
Hi
I have work to transcribe and I can't find any programs that work well to do it. Instead I am listening to the same sentences over and over at least 40 times, miss a word and can't go back, try to and you go back to zero, lose a half hour listening to what I already had, etc.
Please tell me if you know any good programs. Working with MS Media Player and F4, typing in Wordpad. THANKS
VR programs
What VR programs are the best to use for the most productivity?
Are there free FTP programs?
Are there free FTP programs?
TIA
Lost programs.
I bought a new computer and was going to let my daughter use my old one for a project she had going. She deleted all my transcription programs. Later, her project fell through and I needed the computer to use in my home office. I was able to do a system restore, even after several weeks, and get almost all my stuff back. For some reason, Stedman's spell check did not come back up, so I do not know what happened there, but everything else was there.
productivity programs
Our company is currently using Winscribe dictation system, but they did not buy the transcription side of this, which creates a database and templates and saves the work to a file.
I am looking for productivity program that works the same way that is reasonable. ADS may be one but I have no feedback on this.
Any suggestions.
encryption programs
Speaking of encryption, my doc wants to go through tapeless and go with a WAV pedal program. What are the ins and outs of these programs; what's good; what's not. Are they easy to load, setup, etc. And, what above the WAV pedal programs? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
encryption programs
Can anyone tell me of a good encryption program to use with WAV pedal program?
12 step programs, which above are
referring to, are all based on God, a higher power - surrendering to that higher power, and then healing following the 12 steps. Leaving religion out of recovery is rather contradictory!
exercise programs (sm)
For about three years, I had suffered with severe asthma and allergies. I could not ever get any of it under control. I had to take a lot of steroids during that time and everytime I tried to get in an exercise routine it would just exacerbate my symptoms. It turned out we had a black mold problem. I was the only one with symptoms though.
We moved though and now I am in total recovery. My asthma is completely under control. I might only take it now once or twice a month, if at all (used to take it 4-6 times a day). Doctors say I may always have it now.
I have put on a significant amount of though and really would like to get it off. I don't feel good about myself anymore. I eat very well and I am maintaining my current weight. I just do not get the exercise I need.
I was really active into Taebo before all of this began, but I don't feel like I can just jump back into that right away. I need something that would slowly work me back into shape. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your help!
