grep
Outlook 2003
If I reboot my system, Outlook 2003 decides to add
my pop3 to my username. deletes my password and
changes my pop3 server to localhost
ie in my example, my usr name is grep
my pop3 server is incoming.verizon.net
my smtp is outgoing.verizon.net
and password is xxxxxxxxxx
I get grep/incoming.verizon.net <- this is of
course not my user name
so I have to erase the incoming.verizon.net to
make it accept my real user name.
In my pop3 server it changes incoming.verizon.net
to localhost <- obviously this is wrong, I have to
erase localhost and change it back to
incoming.verizon.net
In my password it just deletes that.
I tell it to save my password and sometimes it
does and for a few mail accesses it will just work
as its supposed to. then on the 1st or 2nd or 3rd
new access, it just deletes my password and
prompts me for a new password. Yes I am well
aware that the ISP controls the password, except
the isp is not deleting or changing my password,
Outlook is changing it.
I kind of expect my email program to remember who
its supposed to connect to and not munge the
address from session to session.
on occasions it also forgets who my smtp server is
or munges its address.
in Outlook 2000, I had a nice news reader Icon
which is missing from 2003, I used the built in
help and found the key to reactivating news and
the result is the command dissappeared completly
from all lists, in flustration I reinstalled forte
agent. (surprise it just works), a week later
Outlook decided to restore news (maybe it got
jealous) Actually I guess I had expected 2003 to
be an upgrade, I hadn't expected a downgrade in
function. I was surprised to learn that Outlook
never really had a newsreader, it uses Outlook
express to read the news, Another disappointment
