I use Windows XP Home. OE wouldn't open last night and somehow, during the
process of going through various options to get it to work, I must have
changed a setting. It is working again. However, before it opens a window
pops up that is headed "Run as" and then I'm asked which ...

I've read that Outlook is where Microsoft prefers to expend its development
energy whereas Outlook Express is the Windows freebee that is essentially

more advanced email capabilities, but I have virtually ...

Whenever I go to log on to a secure web site I get the "page not found" with
IE6. I can go to any other web page. It seems to be just secure pages that I

how-or even if-I can change my email address without losing everything.

be (temporarily) exempt from the new policy.

from OE.

Following several months using Outlook, after transferring my messages

please?  

I recently got a new, free  hotmail account.
When I tried to use the hotmail account for reading newsgroups with
OutlookExpress,
it refused.   I am surprised to see that free hotmail account is no longer
