Whenever I want to write a fresh new email, I click on the new message icon
then have to right click on the actual window in the task bar and click on
the option to maximise it in order to write that new message.
Can anyone tell me how to make the darned thing come up normally? I ...

I have to reformatt my computer and I have some things backed up but
not all.I need to save my outlook express folders.Someone told me to
do a search in files and folders for dbx files,and then copy them to
a disk,then restore them back into the proper file after I

Dear sir,
Every time I try to open OE I get the following message:
''Express has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry
for the inconvenience."

I need to retrieve from an hard disk, all the information related to the
mail accounts configured under Outlook Express (i.e.POP3 server address,
email address, username/password, etc etc).
If there any way to do that?

Outlook Express dumped my entire INBOX of email
messages (possibly as many as 300 or more messages) to a .dmp file.
When I did a file search it shows as:
Word pad file . Memory . c:\WINNT . 393,216KB

I got the bright idea of using an external USB hard drive as a data backup
device.  I copied over my Favorites, My Documents, and OE files to it.
When I say my OE files, what I did was copy the main OE folder in the
Programs Files, with the OE sub folders in the main one.  I ...

i often receive plenty of junk emails with fake sender address, the IP

Is there a way to synchronize the newsgroups? Not only the accounts, but
also the ng's to be used, read items, received items etc.

I'm trying to troubleshoot (a 501 error message that prematurely terminates
a "Reset List" operation from a newsgroup server.  The download errors out
after about 105,000 newsgroup names are refreshed.)  Under
Tools=>Options=>Maintenance there are options to save all commands to ...

Office 2000 tries to load when I view some but not all emails in OE.  It
seems to want to load Access which I do not have.  This problem just started
recently.  Updates to Windows XP and McAfee Security Center have recently
been added.  Any thoughts?  Is this an OE problem or an ...

I have created a whole set of rules but they don't seem to work all the
time. Ex: when I test them manually they work so I apply it and then when
email comes in they don't work. Some of them are directed to subfolder would
that be the cause?

Somehow I've lost the original desktop icon for Outlook on a Win98se
system. I can right click on the 'blank icon' and see properties but see no
way to get the icon back. I reinstalled MS Office from a backup but the
Outlook icon never reappeared after the installation.

I'm using xcopy with the /m option to backup my data files to an external
hard drive. This option uses the Archive attribute of the file to select
files that have been modified since the last backup.
However, it seems that Outlook Express does not set the Archive attribute

I've dome it before but damned if I can do it again.
I have followed the step-by-step instructions on how to set up OLE email,
and I simply cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong.
A.)  I do have my gmail configured in ole..that's working fine, but of
