Recently my outlook express has been operating very
slowly, to add each new contact takes a couple of minutes.
Any suggestions on what might be slowing down the system ?

OE will not let me have access to several attachments

I can receive messages with no problems on my server. When
I try to send something, one of the error messages I get
is as follows:
The connection to the server has failed.
Account:'mail.kiatis.com',Server:'mail.kiatis.com',Protocol
;SMTP, Port 25, Secure(SSL):no, Socket error: 10051, Error
Number:0x800CCC0E

I've tried changing some of the settings under
Tools/Accounts/Settings, such as making sure the
incoming/outgoing servers are the same. No luck.
Somebody please shed some light on this for me.

All at once the other day, every email that I have
received with a graphics attachment gives me a message
that reads: OE has removed access to the following unsafe
attachments in your mail. I am not able to open the
attachment. Furthermore all my saved prior messages that
have graphic attachments, also do not allow me to open the
attachments. I've tried everything possible to figure out
what the problem is, but to no avail. Help anyone!

Hi Vince,
Very good........ look..at omegageek
A lot of people doesn't know the difference between
Outlook(OL) and Outlook Express (OE).
Good you made that clear.
A time ago I posted a question about encrypting messages
with certificates and OL2000.
Never got a reaction, probably just because of the mixing
mess between OL and OE in this newsgr

I have express and can no longer open attachements. It
was suggested that I upgrade to outlook, which I did, but
I can't figure out how to set up the seperate accounts
like I had on express.

Outlook is really overkill for me, I'd just as soon fix
the attachment problem with express.

Can anyone help me?

Hi;

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A GOOD ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM.

Open Outlook Express.
Click on Tools and select Options.
Select the Security tab.
Remove the checkmark from the "Do not allow attachments to
be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus.
Click OK at bottom of window.
Close Outlook Express.
Open outlook Express, and the attachments can now accessed.

Are there any other possible reasons for that. The reason I ask is that we
have a product which is distributed by e-mail, and occasionally (Not
regularly, but some times), we get calls from people saying that when
opening the attachment, nothing happens.

Apparently, it just doesn't seem to initiate. The only common thread I could
find between the support calls was that they are all running Outlook
Express.

(Apologies in advance to those who are unhappy about OE posts to this site,
but the thread was on it.)

Since installing Internet Explorer version 6 my outlook express is behaving
differently !

I have checked the box '' Hang up after sending and receiving'' to ensure
that my internet connection is disconnected after accessing my mail but it
fails to disconnect.

Also when outlook express is open but offline and the ''send/receive'' box
is selected so I can go back on line the ''Dial up Connection'' box fails to
appear! I have to open Internet Explorer to access ''Dial up Connection''

Can anyone please help

It may not be installed correctly. Make sure that your dick is not

This worked for me. Good luck. I'll bet you did an

Currently using Outlook express to process mail in a
windows 98 enviroment, with no log on.

Users have a habit of creating folders, does anybody know
of a batch file or method of refreshing so that only the
default outlook express files will remain.

We have a default dos batch file running for other
refreshes, if this is to be used how do we over come
spaces such as in Sent Items

I hope somebody can help
