Hi.  I started having this issue on and off the past couple weeks, and I
can't trace it to anything I have done with my system.  While write or
reading within OE the window I'm working in loses the focus, and I have to
click it to regain control, almost as there's a hidden dialog ...

[OE6]
The command which is located in newsgroup context menu between 'Find...' and 'Subscribe'?

I am running WIN2K 4th update, latest code.  I can neither send
nor receive email with OE. Explorer runs fine, I can get URLs and updates fine.  
OE error Code 0x800CCC0E.  Also running F-Prot and Zonealarm.

I always wanted to know that.
How to delete message from any OE folder without the message being put into
Delete folder?
I tried using SHIFT+DEL but that does not work.

Lately, when I attempt to go to a web link embedded in an email, Outlook
Express locks up. When I use Task Manager to get out, OE closes and the
computer locks up, requiring a restart. Going to a link by any other means
causes no problem. I'm using OE 6 on an HP laptop running XP ...

Hi, All.  I'm trying to help a friend out following a system problem that
necessitated using the HP recovery process, which seems to have messed up
not a few items.  They claim it's a non-destructive process, and that user
data won't be harmed, but ...

XPH SP2 OE6 2900.2180
My ISP's news server requires me to logon with a username and password.
For many months when connecting it might work ok, but other times it waits
with "Authorizing..." in the status bar, and then after a few seconds the

When all received messages have been opened and read, the "envelope" icon
remains in the systray.  This makes it difficult to know by looking at the
screen if new messages have arrived.  I have to reboot to get rid of it.
Any cure for this?

I know that one can have mutiple accounts in OE6, and I have done
that.  And, I have also set-up rules for the messages to go to
different folders, depending on what is on the "To:" line of the
incoming message.  However, I still have a couple of questions, as to

Currently OE shows the numbers of UNREAD messages in each folder.Is there a

UNREAD.
Thanks

How do I send photos from My Pictures and mail to links via Gmail?
When I try to accomplish these tasks, my roadrunner email, which has
been disconnected, comes up and I am unable to complete the tasks at
hand.

My OE6 is misbehaving!  I have 3 identities and when I switch identities the
program closes and then won't open again until I restart my computer.  I
don't get an error message.
My OS is XP and I recently upgraded to sp3 but I was having the problem

I read threads here on managing identities, and so I'm wondering if and how
switching IDs may be advantageous. As an intl. advocate, I have mail all
coming into one ID, now, into dedicated folders, but thinking about it, I

Is there a way to add custom headers to outlook express?
Thanks.

I have my addresses in Outlook Express sorted in about 20 different folders.
When I open the addres book the folders are shown in alphabetical order in
the left column. But when I start a new message and click on "To:" in order
to find the required addressee in one of the folders ...
