OE & MS Outlook

[Kit-e]

Hi,
Hoping someone can help.

OE V.6 - won't open at all. Error message: OE cant open
the message store, check you have enough memory.
Ox8007000E.
I honestly thought that having next to nothing in my
startup folder, and not even using 3GB of my 14GB hard
drive would be enough - alas no! No for my version of OE!

So if I swap over to MS Outlook 2000, I have just as many
hassles. It wont even let me download emails from the
net. I have reset my accounts - there is no problem
there. My internet properties are just fine thanks.
The downloading error message: firewall hassles
127.0.0.1. But every time I adjust these settings - MS
Outlook just changes it right back! Yes I am applying the
changes. Even when I change them and send/receive I get
the same answer. How can I convince MS Outlook that I
know what's best for me? But turning off my firewall each
and everytime I send/recieve be the last straw for me!

I have a copy of Lotus I have never used - Does it have a
mail program?

Regards
Kit-e

Don't turn off the firewall. Have you got an AV program? Is it set to
scan emails? Turn THAT off!

The sever settings changing all the time is caused by your virusscanner. See
the documentation of your virusscanner on how to disable this integration.

For more assistance on the Outlook Express part ask in an Outlook Express
forum. This is an Microsoft Office Outlook forum.

Outlook Express is family of Internet Explorer and Outlook of the Office
