I am having a problem setting Outlook Express 6 as default mail server.
Tool-Options menu does not wor. When I check box, and exit, it still
indicates it is not the default. On internet options program menu, OE is
not available as an option on email, although it is on newsgroups. I need
to set it as default email to synchronize palm-pilot mail program. Is there
another way to do this?
 
Hi,

Login as Administrator and try the following:

Click Start, Run and type the following commands one by one:
%ProgramFiles%\Outlook Express\MSIMN.EXE /REG

regsvr32 "%ProgramFiles%\Outlook Express\msoe.dll"
